Is there an age limit for FUNKIST concerts?

Elementary school students and older require a ticket. Preschool children are generally admitted free of charge if they are accompanied by a guardian.

What does “All Standing” mean?

“All Standing” means there are no assigned seats. Admission is usually based on the “entry number” printed on your ticket, so arriving early is recommended if you want to be closer to the stage.
