Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement for FC Tokyo.

Starting today, January 18 (Friday) at 15:00, we will begin accepting applications for the 2019 annual tickets. Let's fill the stadium with our SOCIO members in "blue and red" and support the players with our passionate cheers. Together, let's fight and share the joy of victory.
For detailed information about the 2019 annual tickets, including how to apply, please check the annual ticket page.

The 2019 annual ticket is valid only for home games held at Ajinomoto Stadium, but all 17 home games of the Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League are scheduled to be held at "Ajinomoto Stadium." The J.League YBC Levain Cup group stage is scheduled to be held at "alternative stadiums."

Tickets will be sold at SOCIO prices for home games at the "alternative stadium." Detailed seating arrangements will be announced as soon as they are decided, but we plan to sell general admission seats for 1,000 yen and reserved seats for 2,000 yen.

◆Regarding the Sending of Continuation Notices
To all SOCIO members for the 2018 season, we will be sending out information regarding the "Request for Renewal of 2019 Annual Ticket Purchase" by mail starting from January 23 (Wednesday). We kindly ask you to check it.
In addition, for the 2019 season, due to a different sales overview than usual, we will also send information by mail to everyone who has selected "Request for Email Notification".

◆About Automatic Renewal
The 2019 season is in a situation where "automatic renewal" cannot be implemented. Everyone who has selected "wish to continue with automatic renewal" will need to complete the renewal process through the "FC Tokyo Official Homepage" or the "2019 Annual Ticket Renewal Application Form".
We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding.
