2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' in 名古屋

On Saturday, May 30, 2026, "2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' in Nagoya" will be held at IG Arena in Nagoya.

&TEAM is a nine-member group that debuted under HYBE Labels Japan in December 2022. The group consists of K, Fuma, Nicholas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki — a hybrid group that fuses Japanese and Korean culture, with a large fanbase known as "Luné" both in Japan and internationally.

The tour title "BLAZE THE WAY" carries the passionate message of "blazing their own path forward with the force of flames." Anticipation is high for a performance where fans can experience firsthand the achievements and growth the group has built since their debut.

The venue, IG Arena, is a large arena facility located in Nagoya. With a maximum capacity of approximately 10,000, it offers an immersive concert experience in both arena-floor and stand seating. The Nagoya location is convenient not only for fans in the Tokai region, but also for those traveling from Kanto, Kansai, and Kyushu.

Basic Event Information

Details about the event (doors-open and show-start times, seat types, precautions, etc.) will be announced on the official &TEAM website and official social media including Weverse. Always check official sources for the latest information.

Tickets for &TEAM concerts are extremely competitive. The fan club pre-sale ballot for Luné members is the most reliable way to secure tickets. Since it is unlikely that any seats will remain by the time of general sale, we strongly recommend entering the pre-sale lottery.

Step-by-Step Ticket Strategy

① Luné Fan Club Pre-Sale Lottery

• Applications typically open 4–8 weeks before the show
• The pre-sale lottery exclusive to paid Luné members is the top-priority method
• Membership registration is available via the official website (priority may differ between paid and free members)
• Check Weverse and the official website frequently so you don't miss the application window or result announcements

② General Pre-Sale Lottery (Pia, e+, Lawson Ticket)

• Even if you miss the fan club pre-sale, you can still apply for general pre-sale lotteries through each ticket platform
• Applying to multiple platforms simultaneously is generally permitted (watch out for duplicate wins)
• Pia (P-code), e+ (eplus), and Lawson Ticket (L-code) are the main ticket platforms

③ General Sale

• Last resort. For popular shows, tickets often sell out the moment sales open
• Start accessing from multiple devices just before the sale start time (often 10:00 AM)
• A stable internet connection is recommended (a wired connection is more reliable than Wi-Fi)

Key Tips for Ticket Applications

• Register early: The Luné membership process can take several days. Start the process the same day the show is announced
• Apply in your own name: Even if attending with others, each person applying under their own name increases the chances of winning
• Meet payment deadlines: Forgetting to pay after winning results in automatic cancellation. Always check email notifications
• Prioritize official information: Don't be misled by unofficial sources — always check the official &TEAM website, Weverse, and the official Luné site
• Bookmark the application page: Confirm the URL and steps in advance so you're not rushing on the day

In Japan, reselling concert tickets above face value is prohibited by law under the "Act on Ensuring Appropriate Distribution of Performance Tickets by Prohibiting Unauthorized Resale of Specific Performance Tickets" (the Ticket Scalping Prevention Act, enacted in 2019). Buying resold tickets carries various risks, so always use official channels.

Main Risks of Resold Tickets

① Entry Refusal &TEAM concerts may require identity verification (ID check at the gate). If the name on the ticket does not match the ID presented, you may be refused entry. You could end up with an expensive ticket you cannot use at all.

② Counterfeit Tickets Resold tickets circulating on flea market apps and social media sometimes include sophisticated fakes. If a QR code has already been used, or if the ticket is entirely counterfeit, you will be turned away at the entrance gate without exception.

③ Fraud In peer-to-peer transactions, many cases have been reported where the seller becomes unreachable after receiving payment. Transactions between individuals on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) or Instagram carry particularly high risk, and recovering losses is often difficult.

Using Official Secondary Market Services

Official resale services provided by ticket platforms — such as Pia Official Resale and Ticket Ryutsu Center (official) — offer a certain level of safety.

• Prices are within the face-value range or transparently set
• Post-purchase support is available
• All transactions are within the bounds of the law

Official Ticket Transfer Among Luné Members

An official ticket transfer or exchange service may be announced for Luné members. Check official social media and Weverse announcements, and make the most of legitimate channels.

Summary

Resold tickets can cost several times the face value. Rather than taking on that risk at a steep price, it is wiser to plan ahead for the pre-sale lottery of the next show. "Official and safe" should always come first.

IG Arena is one of Nagoya's premier large arena facilities, with a maximum capacity of approximately 10,000. For concerts, the seating layout varies depending on the stage position and orientation. The following is a general guide to seating for arena concerts (please check official announcements for actual seat types and block arrangements).

Main Seat Types and Their Features

Arena Floor Seats (1F Floor)

• Closest seats to the stage at floor level
• Often standing or folding-chair format
• Front sections offer an incredibly close and immersive experience with the artists
• Be aware that rear blocks may have taller people standing in front of you
• The best area to participate in the call-and-response that is a hallmark of K-POP concerts

Stand Seats (2F / 3F)

• Tiered seating surrounding the venue (mostly reserved seats)
• Elevated position gives a bird's-eye view of the full stage, making it easy to appreciate choreography and production
• LED screens are visible even from rear and side seats
• Less physically tiring over long periods — good for stamina
• Especially recommended for fans who want to fully take in &TEAM's entire stage production

Seat Selection Tips

Things to Note at K-POP Concerts

• Lightstick: Bringing the official Luné lightstick enhances the sense of unity with the whole arena. A designated color may be announced for each show, so check the official guide
• Photography and video: Recording audio or video during the performance is generally prohibited, including with smartphones. Check the official rules in advance
• Bag size: Large bags or luggage may be subject to entry restrictions. A shoulder bag or waist pouch is better than a backpack

Tips for Getting Good Seats

Fan club pre-sale lotteries are essentially random, but you can increase your chances by having each attendee apply separately (rather than one person applying for a group), and by applying for all show dates if there are multiple dates in Nagoya.

Getting to IG Arena (Nagoya)

The smoothest way to reach IG Arena is by public transportation. On the day of the concert, traffic around the venue will be heavily congested, so using trains or the subway is strongly recommended. Check the IG Arena official website and official event information for the latest routes and timetables.

By Train / Subway

From Nagoya Station (Subway)

• Take the Nagoya Municipal Subway Meijo Line (clockwise / toward Kanayama)
• Get off at Rokubancho Station
• Approximately 15–20 minutes' walk from the station

From Nagoya Station (Meitetsu)

• Transfer from the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line to the Meitetsu Tokoname Line
• Get off at Toyoda-Honmachi Station
• Approximately 10–15 minutes' walk from the station

From the Sakae / Fushimi Area

• Board the Subway Meijo Line at Sakae Station → get off at Rokubancho Station → walk
• Approximately 20–25 minutes from Sakae

By Bus

Nagoya city buses are also an option. Access from the nearest bus stop requires a walk, but heavy congestion is expected after the show ends, so allow yourself plenty of time for the return journey.

By Car / Taxi

• Parking spaces are limited and may fill up before the show even begins on concert day
• Taxis are hard to find immediately after a show ends, so booking in advance via a ride-hailing app (GO, DiDi, etc.) is advisable
• For those traveling from farther away, park-and-ride — parking at a coin parking lot near Nagoya Station or Kanayama Station and taking the train the rest of the way — is convenient and helps avoid traffic jams

Day-of-Concert Notes

• Aim to arrive 1–1.5 hours before the doors open (accounting for merchandise queues and entry lines)
• Merchandise queues can form 2–3 hours before doors open. If there are items you don't want to miss, head there early
• The post-show exit will be extremely crowded as everyone leaves at once. If taking the train, it can be smoother to walk to a different station a short distance from the venue before boarding
• For evening shows, check the last train times in advance (both the Meijo Line and Meitetsu lines may have last trains around midnight)

For accommodation in Nagoya, the two standard options are the area around Nagoya Station or the Sakae / Fushimi area. Since IG Arena is located slightly away from the city center, securing a hotel in the more accessible downtown area is more practical for both travel and sightseeing than staying near the venue.

Hotel Options by Area

Around Nagoya Station (Most Recommended for Out-of-Town Fans)

• Extremely convenient access via Shinkansen, express trains, and highway buses
• Wide range of options from business hotels to luxury hotels
• Easy access to the return Shinkansen; smooth departure the next morning
• Notable hotel examples:
  • Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel (direct connection to station, luxury)
  • JR Gate Tower Hotel Nagoya (direct connection to station)
  • Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nagoya-eki Mae (good value for money)
  • Comfort Hotel Nagoya Shinkansen-guchi (budget-friendly)

Sakae / Fushimi Area

• Convenient access toward IG Arena via the Subway Meijo Line
• A lively area packed with restaurants and shopping — great for a post-concert celebration
• Notable hotel examples:
  • Nagoya Tokyu Hotel
  • ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Grand Court Nagoya
  • Via Inn Nagoya Fushimi

Booking Tips

• Demand for accommodation on the concert date (May 30) will be concentrated, so the golden rule is to book as soon as your ticket win is confirmed. Popular hotels can fill up within days of the show being announced
• Choose a free cancellation plan so you can cancel if you don't win a ticket. Provisionally booking a free-cancellation plan while waiting for pre-sale results is a smart strategy
• Compare multiple sites — Booking.com, Rakuten Travel, Jalan, etc. — to find the best price
• Solo attendees may also consider capsule hotels or guesthouses around Nagoya Station or the Sakae area to keep costs down

If There Are Multiple Show Dates

If the tour has multiple shows in Nagoya, staying for consecutive nights is convenient. Many hotels offer multi-night discounts, so check when booking.

Nagoya is famous for its unique food culture, known as "Nagoya-meshi." Enjoy Nagoya's food and sightseeing before and after the concert to make your trip all the more memorable.

Dining Tips Around the Concert

• Before the concert: Eat early at a restaurant around Sakae or Nagoya Station before the show. Restaurants get crowded after the show ends, so it's best to eat beforehand

Advice for First-Time Out-of-Town Fans

• Going solo is totally fine: K-POP concerts have many solo attendees, and the atmosphere naturally encourages interaction among fans. Don't hesitate — enjoy it to the fullest
• Travel light: Venues may have bag size restrictions. Store large luggage in nearby coin lockers
• Watch out for spoilers on social media: As a matter of fan etiquette, avoid posting setlist or production spoilers. Share only after official approval
