Thanks so much for the links. I still can't get over that despite poor ticket sales, they haven't made any changes to the process. I'm scared to even attempt to set up an ID in case I mess it up. It would be helpful to see someone actually set up an ID step by step, kind of like those esim videos on YouTube.
Thank you very much. This is a tremendous help! Planning our trip. Give us luck 🍀
You’re my hero! Thank you for taking the time to try to make sense of all this. This complicated ticketing system is for sure the reason advanced ticket sales are so low. I read yesterday they are considering same day tickets as an option. I hope that happens!
Thank you! With your video's help I finally was able to purchase tickets for me and my family. If the expo isnt that crowded are time reservations really a requirement? Thank you so much
Thank you so much. Your video was a great help. I was able to purchase tickets for my entire family. I have a question though. Are timed reservations really mandatory for ALL the pavilions even if it might not even be crowded? Again thanks, you are a lot of help.
No idea why they made this ticketing process so complicated. I've seen many posts from ppl saying that they wanted to go to expo but are skipping it altogether because this process is too daunting. I'm still not sure I even did it right but ig I'll find out on the days I booked if I did or not .. The part that confuses me the most is if everyone in your group needs an expo ID or not, on one page it says yes but the next it says no??? make it make sense T_T. Getting tickets to Taylor Swift was easier than this lol
Do you mean that each visitor needs to register an Expo ID and purchase ticket with the ID? Can one person purchase multiple tickets for a group?
Thanks for the explanation! This helps out a ton!
I purchase 2 tickets for me and my wife, will this work ? … maybe !!!
Thank you! I am wondering if I purchase the ticket for admission at 9:00 AM, then I get out of the venue (to have lunch somewhere else, or because my baby girls want to rest a little bit at hotel… o) May We reenter later the same day to attend the "under the Midnight Rainbow" event? I am thinking in getting the 9:00 AM ticket but not sure of being able to stay all the day until 19:00 or so. May we get in and out of the venue the same day with the same ticket or is it a single entry? In the last case, then I think it would be better to have like the 12:00 entry or even later, no?
It took me 3 hours to do everything for a one day booking. I would like it if someone knows how the ballot system is working as this took the most time to do. There is 2 month ballot, 7 day ballot and the 3 day ballot
Thank you very much! This helps a lot.
I bought tickets for myself and my girlfriend. Do you know if I need to reserve the pavilion separately for each ticket, or if one reservation covers both tickets?
Meeting locals is the best ways to experience the culture firsthand.
When traveling to Osaka, I recommend joining one of my meetup events.
It’s a rare opportunity to meet and talk to locals in English.
Hi, I am from Maldives and want to visit the expo in September. I did visit Expo2020 and everything was so convenient. They even gave me a free unlimited access ticket from the aiport as I was able to go during the last month. My question for you is If we buy the season pass ( 30,000 Yen ) ticket, will I be able to attend everyday with that ticket during my visit?
