&TEAM will hold one performance of their nationwide concert tour 'BLAZE THE WAY' on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Anabuki Arena Kagawa (Takamatsu City).

About the Tour 'BLAZE THE WAY'

'BLAZE THE WAY' is &TEAM's domestic arena tour, with the theme of delivering "fiery" energy to each location. The Kagawa performance is a precious opportunity for fans in the Shikoku area to attend a local show.

About Anabuki Arena Kagawa

Anabuki Arena Kagawa is a multipurpose arena located in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, with a maximum capacity of approximately 8,000 people. It is one of the largest arena facilities in Shikoku, used for concerts and various sporting events. In arena-style stage configurations, the layout may change depending on the production—360-degree, semicircular, etc.—so the view from each seat may differ depending on the day's staging.

Key Highlights

• An &TEAM performance in Shikoku is an extremely rare opportunity
• A large number of fans traveling from neighboring prefectures (Ehime, Tokushima, Kochi) is expected
• Look forward to live performances and staging unique to a live concert

Please always check official information on the HYBE LABELS JAPAN official website and the Weverse app.

Complete Guide to Getting Your Tickets

Tickets for &TEAM concerts are in extremely high demand and highly competitive to obtain. Follow the steps below to be fully prepared.

Ticket Sales Flow (General Schedule)

※ The above is only a rough guide. Always check official announcements for actual dates.

Top Priority: Register for Weverse

Weverse is &TEAM's official community platform. To participate in the Weverse member-exclusive pre-sale lottery, you need to register on Weverse in advance. There are free and paid plans; the paid plan may give access to even more advantageous pre-sales.

Ticket Purchase Platforms

• e+ (e-plus): One of Japan's largest ticket sales sites. The smartphone app is also convenient.
• Lawson Ticket (Lawson Ticket): Physical ticket pickup at Loppi kiosks is also possible.
• Ticket Pia: Handles both lotteries and first-come, first-served sales.

Tips for Winning the Lottery

• Register on multiple platforms: Each has an independent lottery, so your chances increase.
• Pre-register your credit card: Essential to ensure smooth payment if you win.
• Never miss an application deadline: You will be disqualified if you apply outside the window.
• Be flexible with your seat preference: Selecting "any seat" tends to improve your chances of winning.

If You Don't Win

Take advantage of official waitlist and resale programs. By using officially sanctioned secondary market platforms such as e+'s "Ticket Ryutsuu Center," you may be able to obtain tickets at close to face value.

Never Buy Resale Tickets

Ticket resale is a serious problem in the K-POP fan community. Malicious scalping is especially rampant for popular group performances like &TEAM's. Please fully understand the risks below and choose safe methods of obtaining tickets.

Key Risks of Resale Tickets

1. Entry Refusal / Identity Verification

Domestic concerts are increasingly implementing identity verification with a photo ID (driver's license, My Number card, passport, etc.). If the name on the ticket does not match the person entering, you may be denied entry. With resale tickets, this name mismatch occurs at a high rate.

2. Overcharging / Fraud

Many tickets are sold at several times to over ten times the face value, and among these, person-to-person transactions (via SNS, flea market apps, etc.) result in a constant stream of fraud cases involving fake tickets or sellers disappearing after payment.

3. QR Code Invalidation

For electronic tickets, the organizer may invalidate QR codes. If a ticket is deemed to have been purchased for resale purposes, there is a risk that it may suddenly become unusable on the day of the event.

4. Legal Issues

In Japan, the "Ticket Scalping Prevention Act (enacted 2019)" makes reselling tickets above face value illegal. Buyers may also face legal consequences.

Alternative Ways to Safely Obtain Tickets

• Use the official cancellation resale (official resale) service
• Use official secondary market services provided by e+ and Lawson Ticket
• Fan-to-fan transfers on Weverse's official community (within official rules)
• Direct transfers from friends or acquaintances (name change procedures may be required)

Summary

While we completely understand the desire to attend at all costs, please only obtain tickets through safe and legal means. Obtaining tickets through official channels protects both yourself and the artist.

Seating Information for Anabuki Arena Kagawa

Seat Types (General Arena Concert Configuration)

Since Anabuki Arena Kagawa is a multipurpose arena, the stage position and seating layout differ for each concert. For &TEAM performances, the configuration often looks like the following (always check the official announcement):

Tips for Choosing Your Seat

For Arena Floor Fans

• You can directly feel the atmosphere and energy
• You will likely be standing for a long time, so choose sneakers or other comfortable shoes
• Keep your belongings as compact as possible (out of consideration for those around you)

For Stand Seat Fans

• Ideal for those who want to enjoy the full stage production and lighting effects
• Side stands may offer a lateral view of the stage (some angles may be harder to see depending on the production)
• We strongly recommend bringing binoculars (approximately 6–8x magnification)

About Binoculars

Binoculars are a must-have item if you want to see members' expressions up close from stand seats. For concerts, models with 6x–10x magnification and a 20–30mm aperture are easy to carry and recommended. Note that some venues prohibit the use of tripods and monopods.

How to Check the Seating Chart and Detailed Information

• Check the seating chart on ticket purchase sites (e+, Lawson Ticket, Ticket Pia)
• Check the floor map on the Anabuki Arena Kagawa official website
• Keep an eye on Weverse and &TEAM's official SNS as performance details are announced

Once your seat number is decided, cross-reference it with the seating chart in advance to understand where you'll be located so you can move smoothly on the day.

Access by Train / Public Transportation

Public transportation access to Anabuki Arena Kagawa departs from JR Takamatsu Station or stations on the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden).

※ The final leg to the venue is often by bus or taxi, so plan with enough buffer time to account for post-show congestion on the return trip.

Transportation Notes on the Day of the Concert
