About &TEAM

&TEAM is a global boys group from HYBE Labels Japan. The group consists of 9 members — K, Fuma, Nicolas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki — who debuted in December 2022. With the concept of "the coexistence of strength and delicacy," they continue to captivate fans (LUNÉ) both in Japan and abroad through dynamic performances and refined vocals.

The tour title 'BLAZE THE WAY' carries the powerful message of "carving out our own path," and this worldview will unfold on stage throughout the tour. The Nagoya show is scheduled for May 31, 2026, at IG Arena.

• Performance: Sharp dance moves and delicate harmonies are &TEAM's hallmark
• Stage Production: A visual experience using the latest video technology and lighting design

Spend an unforgettable night in late May 2026 in Nagoya, blazing the way together with your fellow LUNÉs.

How to Get Tickets and Priority Order

&TEAM Japan concert tickets are often released in stages. The most important thing is not to miss the first pre-sale.

STEP 1: Fan Club Pre-Sale (Top Priority)

Joining the &TEAM Fan Club on Weverse (paid membership) is the best way to maximize your chances of getting a ticket. Pre-sale registration often opens 4–6 weeks before general sales.

• Application format: Lottery (not first-come-first-served)
• Companion tickets: Up to 2 tickets per member (varies by show)
• Payment deadline: Generally within 3–5 days of winning notification
• Note: Complete your membership registration early. Late sign-ups may not be eligible for pre-sales.

STEP 2: Ticket Agency Lotteries

If you miss out on the fan club pre-sale, you can also apply through the following ticket agencies.

STEP 3: General Sale (First-Come-First-Served)

If seats remain after the pre-sale lottery, a general sale will be held. For popular shows, tickets can sell out within minutes, so be ready with multiple devices at the time of release.

Tips for Getting Tickets

• Turn on email notifications for lottery results (so you don't miss them)
• If you choose convenience store payment, be sure to complete it before the deadline
• Don't give up after missing out — additional shows or extra seats may be announced
• Apply to multiple pre-sales to increase your chances of winning

Estimated Standard Ticket Prices

For arena concerts in Japan, tickets typically cost around ¥8,000–¥12,000. Please check the official announcement for actual prices.

Dangers of Resale Tickets and Safe Ways to Get Tickets

In Japan, the Act against Unjust Acts relating to Ticket Reselling was enacted in 2019, and buying or selling tickets above face value is prohibited by law. Despite this, illegal resale still exists, so it's important to be informed and take precautions.

Main Risks of Resale Tickets

1. Entry Refusal
Many KPOP concerts, including &TEAM shows, require identity verification (checking a photo ID). If the name on the ticket does not match your ID, you will not be allowed entry — even if you paid a high price.

2. Counterfeit or Invalid Tickets
Counterfeit tickets and already-invalidated QR codes circulate on social media and through private transactions. Even tickets that look genuine have been rejected at the entry gate in multiple reported cases.

3. Fraud (Money Taken Without Receiving Tickets)
Many cases have been reported where payment was made but no tickets were delivered. Private transactions on social media are especially risky.

Platforms to Avoid

Use Official Secondary Market Services

If you can no longer attend or want to get tickets through legitimate channels, use an official resale service.

Official resale services operate under a no-above-face-value rule, allowing for safe transactions.

Summary: Always obtain tickets through official channels or official secondary market services. Purchasing resale tickets risks losing not only your money but also your precious live experience.

IG Arena Seating Layout and How to Choose Your Seat

The seating arrangement at IG Arena changes depending on the type of concert. The following is a general reference for arena-style concerts. Please check the official announcement for the actual seating configuration.

Main Seating Areas

Arena Floor Seats

• The flat area closest to the stage
• For &TEAM concerts, this is likely to be standing format
• The front section offers an incredible close-up experience, but the back section may have reduced visibility due to the flat layout
• If you want to feel fully immersed in a sea of light sticks, this is the place to be

Stand S Seats (Front Section, 1F)

• Elevated view overlooking the arena with excellent overall visibility
• Ideal for taking in the entire stage
• Note that corner seats may have an angled view

Stand A Seats (Rear Section, 1F / 2F)

• Good for sitting comfortably and enjoying the full show
• Great for experiencing the lighting and video production as a whole
• Recommended for first-time concert trip attendees or those concerned about stamina

Tips for Choosing Your Seat

About the Runway and Movable Stage Cart

&TEAM concerts sometimes feature a runway (hanamichi) and movable stage cart (trolley). Seats near these routes offer chances for members to come up close and are highly popular. However, availability varies by show, so refer to reports from previous concerts and official information.

About Binoculars

If you're in stand seats, binoculars with about 8–10x magnification (opera glasses) will let you enjoy members' expressions and the finer details of their dancing. A compact pair tucked in your bag is a great idea.

What to Check After Ticket Collection

• Block number, row number, and seat number
• Entry gate number (directly affects your route on the day)
• Door opening time (arrive early if you plan to buy merchandise)

Getting to IG Arena

General Policy: Train Is Best

Roads around the venue will be very congested on concert day. Using public transportation (train) is strongly recommended. For detailed access information including the nearest station and bus routes, always check the latest information on the official website. Temporary shuttle buses may also operate on concert day.

Main Access Routes to Nagoya

Nagoya is located in the center of Japan and is easily accessible from major cities.

Day-of-Concert Action Plan

Arrive Early — This Is Essential

• Ideally, arrive near the venue 1 to 1.5 hours before doors open
• If you plan to buy merchandise, allow an extra 1–2 hours in your schedule
• Merchandise lines often form before doors open, and people sometimes queue from early in the morning

Managing Post-Show Crowds

• After the show ends, traffic and transport around the venue will temporarily become very congested
• If you're not in a rush, it's wise to wait 30–60 minutes at a nearby café or convenience store to let the crowds thin out
• If using a taxi or ride-hailing app (GO, S.RIDE, etc.), call early

Getting There by Car

• Parking near the venue is limited, and lots are expected to be full with long waits on concert day
• It is recommended to pre-book parking using akippa, Times Parking reservation, etc., or to use public transportation
• If you plan to drink alcohol, always travel by train or taxi
