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

On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, &TEAM's concert tour "BLAZE THE WAY" will be held at Yokohama's state-of-the-art arena, "K Arena Yokohama."

About &TEAM

&TEAM is a global boys group from HYBE Labels Japan. The group consists of nine members — K, Fuma, Nicholas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki — and made their official debut in December 2022. As a multilingual group fluent in Japanese, English, and Korean, they gained a worldwide fanbase spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas immediately after their debut. Their official fan club name is LUNÉ.

About the Tour "BLAZE THE WAY"

"BLAZE THE WAY" is a tour built around the concept of opening a new chapter for the group. Fans can look forward to a live experience unique to concerts, including powerful stage production, precise dance performances, and interaction with the members.

Venue: K Arena Yokohama

Opened in 2023, this is one of the largest arenas in Japan, with top-class acoustic and visual equipment in the country. Its prime location within walking distance of Yokohama Station is another major draw. Since many fans traveling from afar are expected, it is strongly recommended to arrange tickets, accommodation, and transportation as early as possible.

Notes

• The performance date and start time are subject to change. Always check the official website for the latest information.
• In most cases, there are no day-of tickets available at the door. Make sure to secure your ticket in advance.

How to Secure &TEAM Tickets

Tickets for popular K-POP group concerts are extremely competitive, and it's not uncommon for them to sell out immediately after sales open. Follow the steps below to approach it strategically.

Step 1: Join the Fan Club "LUNÉ"

Members of &TEAM's official fan club LUNÉ can apply for presale before the general public. Presale tickets tend to have better seats remaining, and winning odds are higher.

• Join via Weverse (the Weverse app)
• Presale application notices will be sent via email and Weverse
• Since the number of new members surges after a concert announcement, it's important to complete your registration immediately after the announcement

Step 2: Understand Each Sales Phase

Generally, fan club presales begin 4–6 weeks before the performance, with general sales following afterward.

Step 3: Preparing for Application Day

Things to do the day before

• Register and confirm login on each ticket site (Ticket Pia, Lawson Ticket, eplus)
• Pre-register your payment method (credit card, PayPay, etc.)
• Prepare both a smartphone and a PC

Rules for the day of

• Be on the site and waiting 5–10 minutes before sales open
• Use a stable Wi-Fi connection
• Access from multiple devices simultaneously, and complete the purchase on whichever device gets through first

Step 4: What to Do After Losing the Lottery or Sell-Out

1. Use official resale: Ticket Pia Resale and Lawson Ticket Resale are official and reliable
2. Wait for cancellations: Check official sites and Weverse regularly for re-releases of canceled tickets
3. Additional performances / extra seats: For popular shows, extra seats may be released just before the event

Purchasing tickets through unofficial channels (flea market apps, personal SNS transactions) carries risks of fraud and being denied entry, so please avoid these at all costs.

Resale Tickets Carry Serious Risks

Tickets for K-POP concerts are in extremely high demand for resale, and they can be found on SNS, flea market apps, and auction sites at several to many times the face value. However, purchasing resale tickets comes with serious risks.

Risk ①: Counterfeit / Invalid Tickets

Scams involving the resale of screenshots of electronic tickets (QR codes) are rampant. They are indistinguishable from genuine tickets in appearance, so counterfeits may only be discovered at the entry gate. Since a QR code that has already been used cannot be reused, you will not be refunded even if you cannot enter.

Risk ②: Entry Refusal Due to Identity Verification

In recent years, K-POP concerts have increasingly implemented entry policies that allow only the original purchaser to enter.

• If the name on the ticket does not match the ID you present at the venue, you will not be allowed entry
• Identity verification through an officially designated app (such as Weverse) may also be required

Since a resale ticket remains in the name of the original purchaser, there is a risk of being denied entry no matter how much you paid.

Risk ③: Major Financial Loss

Resale prices can easily be several times the face value. If the event is canceled or postponed after purchase, or if the ticket turns out to be fake, it is extremely difficult to claim a refund in a personal transaction.

Rules for Attending Safely

✅ Always purchase tickets through official, authorized channels

• Use only fan club presales, general sales, and official resale

✅ Official resale services are safe

• Official services such as Ticket Pia Resale and Lawson Ticket Resale are trustworthy

❌ Channels to absolutely avoid

• Flea market and auction sites such as Mercari, Rakuma, and Yahoo Auctions
• Direct message personal transactions via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, LINE, etc.
• Being approached by someone outside the venue saying "I have a ticket"

Don't Give Up After the Lottery

If you were unable to obtain a ticket through official channels, the best course of action is to wait for official resale or the release of additional seats. Attempting to purchase day-of tickets or resale tickets in front of the venue is the most dangerous thing you can do. If you ultimately decide you cannot attend, wait for the next concert announcement.

Get to Know the Seating at K Arena Yokohama

K Arena Yokohama is a state-of-the-art arena that opened in 2023. It is a music-dedicated arena of one of the largest scales in Japan, capable of accommodating up to approximately 20,000 people. Designed specifically for concerts, it achieves high visibility and acoustic quality from most seats.

Types of Seating Areas

Features Unique to K Arena Yokohama

Overwhelming acoustics from its music-dedicated design

• Designed as a music-dedicated arena rather than a multi-purpose facility, with a structure that allows sound to reach even rear seats
• Multiple large LED screens are installed, allowing you to view the visuals from any seat

360-degree stage compatible

• Depending on the stage configuration, there may be sub-stages and catwalks extending outward. Depending on your seat, your favorite member may come close to you

Check whether the arena is standing or seated

• Whether the arena area is standing or seated varies by performance
• Always confirm the official announcement before preparing for your visit

Seat Selection Tips

For first-time visitors to K Arena The front-to-center area of Stand Level 1 offers a good balance of visibility and acoustics, making it ideal even for first-time attendees.

Binoculars are an essential item With binoculars (8–10x magnification recommended) for rear stand seats or Level 2 seats, you can clearly see members' expressions. A higher-magnification model is recommended over compact opera glasses.

Front row arena seats are highly competitive Even in fan club presales, front block seats often go to lottery, and winning involves an element of luck. You'll save yourself a lot of stress if you go in thinking "I'll be happy just to get in any block."

Items to Bring and Venue Rules

• Large luggage (suitcases, etc.) may not be allowed inside
• Photography and recording are strictly prohibited (except where officially permitted)

Tips for Getting Home After the Concert

Watch out for peak congestion The area around Yokohama Station will be extremely crowded for 30–60 minutes after the concert ends.

• Shinkansen / overnight bus users: Work backward from the scheduled end time and purchase tickets with plenty of time to spare. If the concert ends around 9–10 PM, you may not have enough time to catch the last Shinkansen

Securing a coin locker

Taxi / Rideshare

• Taxi queues get long after the concert ends. Registering with Uber in advance is also convenient

About Driving to the Venue

Parking spaces near the venue are limited and will fill up early on performance days. Use of public transportation is strongly recommended.

Securing Accommodation Around the Performance Date Is Essential

For major K-POP concerts at K Arena Yokohama, a large number of fans from across Japan and overseas will gather in Yokohama. Since hotels fill up immediately after the concert is announced, your best strategy is to make a provisional booking with a "free cancellation plan" before your ticket lottery results are confirmed.

Recommended Areas

Types of Hotels and How to Choose

Luxury / Upper Class

• High-end hotels directly connected to or very close to Yokohama Station offer the best location and facilities
• Ideal for recovering after the exhaustion of the concert. Look for early-bird discount plans

Standard / Business Hotels

• Many options around Yokohama Station, offering good value
• Hotels with large communal baths, such as Dormy Inn chains, are popular for post-concert recovery
• Take advantage of chain membership prices and point rewards

Budget / Guesthouse

• For those who want to keep costs down. Capsule hotels are also scattered around Yokohama Station
• However, they fill up quickly around performance dates, so secure your booking early

Best Practices for Reservations

1. Make a provisional booking immediately after the concert announcement: Hold multiple hotels with free cancellation plans
2. Confirm after lottery results: Confirm your booking if you win, cancel if you lose
3. Compare multiple sites: Cross-compare Jalan, Rakuten Travel, Booking.com, and official hotel websites
4. Consider staying extra nights: Given the post-concert fatigue, staying another night in Yokohama is recommended

For Those Traveling from Far Away (International / Domestic)

• International fans from Korea / Asia: Yokohama is just one train ride from Narita or Haneda airports. A two-night itinerary — one near the airport, one in Yokohama — is also convenient
• Domestic fans from regional areas: If you can't make the last Shinkansen, just stay overnight. Rushing home will affect the next day
• Group travel: Staying together lets you split the hotel cost; private rooms at guesthouses are also an option

Notes

• Always confirm "non-smoking / smoking" and "double / twin" when booking
• Always check the cancellation policy (free cancellation deadline) before booking
• Also check in advance whether the hotel has a communal bath and luggage storage service
