Disclaimer

Jasumo Tickets connects you to Japan’s vibrant events, from concerts and festivals to sumo tournaments and cultural experiences. We are not a ticket reseller, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to assist customers, whether in Japan or overseas, by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring access to tickets through trusted platforms like Ticket Pia, e-plus, Lawson Ticket, StubHub, and KKday. Click the Book Now button on our website (https://jasumotickets.com/) to purchase tickets directly from our partners. For personalized ticketing assistance, contact us via our contact form (https://jasumotickets.com/contact/).

As a Japan-based business with bilingual staff, we address common challenges faced by customers, including:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging. Jasumo Tickets provides bilingual support to ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many events require local knowledge to navigate, and platforms often lack international payment options. We assist with guidance and international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Events in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing. Jasumo Tickets helps manage deadlines and requirements to maximize your chances of securing entry.

Due to high demand for NIGHTMARE’s 2025 Japan Tour, with limited availability (e.g., September 7 in Oita), and high anticipation for Nippon Budokan, availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of event cancellation. We strongly recommend booking early via the Book Now button to secure your spot.
