TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' National Stadium Day3

Secure ONCE JAPAN Presale Tickets

The TWICE Tokyo shows are a massive 3-day event at Japan National Stadium — ~68,000 seats x 3 = ~204,000 total seats. Even so, tickets are expected to sell out instantly.

Essential Preparation

3-Day Show Strategy

• April 25, 26 & 28, three days (April 27 is a rest day)
• Apply for all dates — standard strategy. Even one winning ticket means you can attend
• ONCE JAPAN presale is a lottery system. More entries = higher chance
• Different setlists/productions possible for each date. Many fans aim to attend all three

Important Notes

• Resold tickets will be denied entry. Digital ticket + photo ID verification enforced
• Official resale only. Use Ticket Pla's resale feature
• Do NOT buy through personal SNS transactions — extremely high fraud risk
• Do NOT use unauthorized resale sites (viagogo, etc.) — entry may be refused

68,000 people x 3 days at Japan National Stadium is the largest TWICE Japan show ever. A historic event surpassing the 2024 Ajinomoto Stadium shows.

Japan National Stadium

• Capacity: ~68,000 for concerts
• Location: 10-1 Kasumigaokamachi, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo
• Features: Main stadium of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Roof covers spectator seats only (field is open-air)

Expected Stage Setup

TWICE large-scale shows typically feature a main stage + extended runway + center stage configuration. At Japan National Stadium, the stage is on the field side with 3 sides of stands used as seating.

Seat Area Recommendations

Japan National Stadium Seating Tips

• 1st Level Stand Front has the best value. The elevation gives better views than the floor
• Arena is flat, so rear arena views may be blocked. Shorter fans should be aware
• Back stand seats (behind stage) may have obstructed views but can be cheaper
• Wind passes through, so roofless arena and upper stands are weather-dependent
• Binoculars recommended for all seats (68,000-capacity venue means distance is significant)

Seat Selection Summary: For your first time at Japan National Stadium, 1st Level Stand Front (stage-facing or slightly angled) is the best choice. Arena seats are a gamble — could be amazing or obstructed

Crowd Avoidance Tips

TWICE at Japan National Stadium means 68,000 people moving at once. Expect major crowds after the show.

Getting There (Before the Show)

• Doors typically open 2 hours before showtime. Arrive early and enjoy the venue surroundings
• Sendagaya & Shinanomachi stations are small and get extremely crowded
• Walking from Gaien-mae or Aoyama-itchome stations is smoother (15–20 min walk)
• Use advance online merch sales for goods. Day-of lines can be hours long

Getting Home (After the Show)

• Show ends around 9:00–9:30 PM
• Kokuritsu-Kyogijo Station (Oedo Line) is the most crowded. Expect 30–60 min wait
• Recommended return routes:
  1. Walk to Shinanomachi Station (5 min) → JR Chuo-Sobu Line toward Shinjuku or Tokyo
  2. Walk to Gaien-mae or Aoyama-itchome Station (15 min) → Ginza Line, Hanzomon Line, Oedo Line
  3. Wait 30 min after the show before heading to a station → Crowds ease significantly
• Taxis: Traffic restrictions around venue. Use rideshare app from 300m+ away
• Watch the last train: ~11:00 PM is the last train for most lines. If the show runs late, you may need a taxi
