【11/29 Update】Notice of FC Tokyo 2022 Annual Ticket Application Reception

[Updated: 11/29]
・We have summarized the frequently asked questions from our customers in a Q&A format and would like to inform you.



Thank you very much for your support and encouragement to FC Tokyo.
Regarding the "2022 Season Tickets", we will start accepting applications from Dec 1 (Wed) 15:00.


□Q&A about 2022 Season Tickets
Q1. If I purchase "Home General Admission" or "Back General Admission" and choose the [Pre-allocated Seating] option, will it be possible to sit next to family or friends who have also purchased season tickets?
A. There is a section in the "Questionnaire form for preferred areas" where you can fill in your preference for adjacent seats. If you could please fill it out there, we will confirm your request and arrange the seating accordingly.
※If you are watching with family or friends who are not annual ticket holders, please check [Q4].

Q2. What rules are used to determine seating during restricted matches using the pre-allocated seating method?
A. For reserved seats, we will assign seats based on the usual seating positions and adjacent seat preferences. For general admission seats, we will assign seats based on rules determined by the club, taking into account customer preferences.

Q3. Can I make seat requests such as front row or aisle seats when purchasing "Home General Admission" or "Back General Admission" and selecting the "Pre-allocated seating" option? What happens if the desired area is already full?
A. You can freely enter your seat requests in the "Comments" section of the questionnaire form, so please enter them there if you have any requests. However, please note that due to limited seating capacity, we may not be able to accommodate all requests. Regarding the desired area, we will ask for up to the 3rd preference and allocate seats within the area you have answered as your preference. If, by any chance, all three preferences are already full, the club will contact you individually to inquire about an alternative desired area.

Q4. If I choose the "pre-allocated seating" option, can I move to other seats only when watching with family or friends?
A. If you choose the 【Advance Seating】 method, you will not be able to move to a different seat as a season ticket holder, as the seating for the entire season is determined at the beginning of the season. If you wish to move to a different seat only when watching with family or friends, we recommend purchasing separate tickets and listing the seat of the season ticket for official resale.
※Please note that the official resale is not guaranteed, and if it is successful, there will be a handling fee.

Q5. Will there be SOCIO pre-sale for the 2022 season as well?
→A.2022 season, SOCIO members will be able to purchase tickets first through SOCIO's advanced sales.

Q6. I do not wish to continue automatically, but is it possible to purchase the same seat as last year?
A. For seat types with the same seat rights (pair seats, main SS, main S, back center UF, back center), if you complete the application and payment by 12/21 (Tue), the same seat will be secured even if you do not wish for automatic continuation.

Q7. Can I change from the "pre-allocated seating method" to the "refund method" or from the "refund method" to the "pre-allocated seating method" after purchase?
A. Changes cannot be made after purchase, so please make sure to check the details carefully and proceed with the purchase.

Q8. How do I continue with the pair sheet?
A.2022 season is also in a waiting list status, so we will send a separate application form for continuation to those who have purchased the 2021 season. Please proceed with the continuation procedure from there.

□ Key Changes for the 2022 Season
Change 1Please select either the "Pre-allocated seating method" or the "Refund method".

Based on the J.League's guidelines for preventing the spread of the new coronavirus, when games are held with limited capacity and seating, you will need to choose either the "pre-allocated seating method" or the "refund method" for exercising your annual ticket rights before applying.

[Regarding advance seating method and refund method]



[For those who have purchased "Home General Admission" or "Back General Admission" with the option to choose a seating method in advance]
In the case of a restricted game where all seats are designated, please sit in the seat with the seat seal that has been assigned in advance. After applying, you will receive a payment completion email with a URL to an questionnaire form where you can indicate your desired area and adjacent seat preference.
※Please note that the club will determine the seating position, so we cannot accept detailed seat requests. Thank you for your understanding.
