How to Buy BABYMETAL Tickets

Tickets for BABYMETAL Concerts in Japan

BABYMETAL are pioneers of the kawaii metal genre. Since their formation in 2010, the metal idols have extensively toured in Japan, as well as other parts of Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Read on to learn how to buy tickets for BABYMETAL shows in Japan (or scroll to the bottom if you are looking for shows in other countries).

1. Official Fan Club

Tickets will first be available to members of the official fan club. Some artists have only a Japanese fan club (or “member site”), which can only be joined with a Japanese address.
Others, also have an International fan club. If the concert is outside of Japan, tickets might not be available through to members of the Japanese club.

2. Pre-order Before General Sale

Before tickets go on sale, there are usually one or more pre-order periods. In Japan, pre-order lotteries are common: you enter a ticket raffle and can buy the tickets if selected after the lottery entry period has closed. These lotteries are usually announced on the official website or various Japanese ticket agencies. To purchase from outside Japan, you might need to order through a proxy service.

3. General Sale

This is where the first-come-first-served sale starts. To participate, you usually need a verified account at a Japanese ticket agency. If you live abroad and can’t create such an account, the remaining options are purchasing through a ticket shopping service or an international resale site (see next paragraph).
 

4. Resale Tickets / Sold Out Shows

When concerts are sold out or difficult to get, resale tickets could be the only remaining option. Japanese resale sites such as Tickets.co.jp are difficult to navigate, though. Again, a Shopping Service might be necessary to purchase from those sites. There is also an international site, that lists BABYMETAL resale tickets for concerts in Japan: Viagogo.

Tickets for BABYMETAL Concerts Outside Japan

BABYMETAL have a history of touring in other regions of the world, including the US and Europe. If you want to go to one of their headline shows or festival appearances, tickets as well as their upcoming tour dates are likely to be available at one of the outlets below.
