How to Buy Tickets
Tickets for these events are not exactly easy to find for non-Japanese speakers who don’t live in Japan. However, there are several ways you can purchase tickets for the RIZIN FF 6 World Grand Prix 1st Round (“Natsu no Jin”) event on July 30th:
- PREORDER: If you live in Japan (and understand Japanese), you can preorder tickets online between May 22nd-26th through the Japanese retailers (eplus, Ticket Pia, etc.). If you don’t live in Japan, our Ticket Service can help you with that.
- GENERAL SALE: After preorder sale, tickets become available through general sale (from May 28th) through the same retailers until tickets are sold out.
Japan Concert Tickets can also assist you with tickets for other MMA events (DEEP/JEWELS, PANCRASE, IGF) as well as martial art events such as Kickboxing (K-1), Sumo, Pro-Wrestling (AJPW, NJPW, DDT, NOAH, ZERO1 and others).
