2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' in 千葉

2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' in Chiba

&TEAM will hold their long-awaited domestic concert tour 'BLAZE THE WAY' in the summer of 2026. The Chiba performance will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY, a large arena located in the Makuhari area.

Made up of nine members — K, Fuma, Nicholas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki — &TEAM is a group produced by HYBE Labels Japan with a dedicated fanbase both in Japan and internationally. Since their debut, they have been acclaimed for the high quality of both their music and performances, and the tour title "BLAZE THE WAY" carries the group's determination to step onto a new stage.

Performance Details

LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY is a large multipurpose arena with a capacity of over approximately 10,000 people, equipped with state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and production facilities, promising a highly immersive live experience. As the event falls on a summer weekend, a large number of out-of-town fans are also expected to attend. For the latest official announcements, be sure to check the &TEAM official website, Weverse, and official SNS accounts regularly.

All Steps to Getting Your Ticket

Fan Club Pre-Sale (Top Priority)

If you are a member of &TEAM's Japan official fan club "FIELDER'S", you can apply for tickets early through "FC Pre-Sale" before general sales begin. FC pre-sales typically open 4–6 weeks before the performance and tend to have lower competition than general sales. If you are linked through Weverse, also check for pre-sales via Weverse Shop.

Major Ticketing Platforms

Key Points When Applying

• Identity verification (ID check) at entry is increasingly required. In many cases, only the named applicant can enter, so proxy purchases and name lending are not allowed
• Pre-sale applications are mostly lottery-based. Applying on multiple platforms may violate terms of service
• General sales (first-come, first-served) involve heavy server traffic, so register your login and payment information in advance
• For smart tickets (electronic tickets), seat numbers may not be displayed until the day of the event

Estimated Result & Ticketing Schedule

Results are typically notified 1–2 weeks before the performance. Be sure to check the ticketing deadline to avoid having your ticket invalidated.

Beware of Scalped Tickets

In Japan, the "Act on Prevention of Wrongful Resale of Specified Entertainment Admission Tickets" (Ticket Anti-Scalping Law) was enacted in 2019, making it illegal to resell tickets above face value. Both buyers and sellers may be subject to penalties.

Common Issues in the Resale Market

• Counterfeit or invalid tickets: Cases have been reported of scammers selling screenshots of already-scanned QR codes or invalidated electronic tickets
• Entry refusal due to identity verification: If the named person and the actual attendee differ, entry may be denied upon ID check
• Excessively high prices: Tickets are sometimes listed at several times to over ten times face value. There is a risk of paying without being able to enter

Using Official Resale (Secondary Market)

Some platforms offer an official resale feature, allowing safe resale and purchase at face value or within a price cap.

Things You Must Never Do

• Purchasing through individual transactions on SNS (X/Twitter, Instagram)
• Purchasing tickets above face value on flea market apps (Mercari, etc.)
• Purchasing from strangers via LINE or DMs

Avoid all routes other than official resale as a rule, and if you are unable to attend, listing on official resale is the safest option.

LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY Venue Layout

LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY is a new multipurpose arena that opened in 2023, with a maximum capacity of approximately 10,000–12,000 (depending on standing/seated configuration). With modern facilities, the seating is designed to provide good sightlines from every seat.

Main Seating Areas (Example Concert Configuration)

※ Stage placement and area divisions change per performance, so always check the official seating chart.

Tips for Choosing Your Seat

• Arena front: Close to the members with high energy. However, visibility may be limited from the rear
• 1st floor stand front (center): Well-balanced and recommended. Binoculars make it even better
• 2nd floor seats: Ideal for those who want to enjoy the full choreography and stage production
• End seats (side blocks): If there is a runway or center stage, members may actually come closer

About Binoculars

Binoculars are an essential item, especially for stand and 2nd floor seats. Compact binoculars with 8–10x magnification and 30–42mm objective lens are popular among many fans.

How to Get to LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY

Address: 1 Toyosuna, Mihama-ku, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture (adjacent to AEON Mall Makuhari Shintoshin)

By Train (Recommended)

Since roads will be congested on concert day, we strongly recommend using the train.

Route from Kaihin Makuhari Station: Exit the south exit and walk straight toward AEON Mall Makuhari Shintoshin. Follow the signs; approximately 10–15 minutes on foot. As pedestrians crowd the route between the station and venue before and after the show, we recommend arriving near the venue 60–90 minutes before the show starts.

• For private parking lots nearby (Times, etc.), secure a spot in advance via akippa or reservation services

After the Show

Kaihin Makuhari Station will be very crowded after the show. Follow orderly queuing on the platform and plan your journey home with extra time to spare.
