About Capacity Restrictions and Changes in Operating Rules
Following the lifting of Ibaraki Prefecture's独自の緊急事態宣言 (prefectural-level state of emergency) on Tuesday, February 23 (holiday), the stadium capacity limit will be eased from 5,000 people to 50% of capacity (approximately 20,000 people). Click here for details. *Added on Tuesday, February 23 (holiday)
Due to the spectator capacity rules for matches with spectators announced by the J.League on Monday, February 8, and the event hosting restrictions set by Ibaraki Prefecture's extension of its unique state of emergency (until February 28) announced on Friday, February 5, the single home game scheduled for February will be held with a stadium capacity limit of 5,000 people. Furthermore, ticketing and fan/supporter-related guidelines will be operated under a "super-strict vigilance" system.
Under the "super-strict vigilance" system, annual ticket holders (SÓCIO members/season ticket members) can select their seats via "Shika Ticket" and attend the matches. If capacity-restricted matches continue for home games held from March onwards, attendance will require obtaining tickets via "Shika Ticket."
*It is possible to obtain tickets for the same category as or a lower category than your purchased annual ticket free of charge (excluding "Visitor Only Seats").
*Information on how to obtain tickets for March and beyond will be announced on the official website as soon as it is decided.
