Please beware that the border of Japan is still closed to almost everybody. We hope it will be open for February, but until the government announces something we must assume that it will be closed. Please do not order tickets unless you are in Japan already, or are OK with losing the money if you can't get in. There won't be any refund if you can't attend the event because the border is closed.

The event is a retirement ceremony, which includes matches.  The location is the Ryogoku Kokugikan, just like the major Tokyo tournaments.  The doors open at 10:30 and the event time is from 11:30-16:00.  The scheduled order of events it matches for the second division, then the hair-cutting of the retiring wrestler, then matches for the top division.  The hair-cutting takes a long time because lots of people take turns taking a snip.

In addition to the available tickets, there are also souvenir sets available. Please check the ticket list, and add these to your cart if you want to order.

There will be a 700-yen per-order fee for the event office to send us the tickets and payment fees to them. 

Children 3 years old and younger don't need a ticket if they don't need their own seat.

There will be Covid protocols in effect for the event. Please read the below information. These are the rules right now, but it could change.

1) There will possibly be a vaccine check or negative test requirement at the door, depending on Japanese law at the time. We strongly recommend that you do not buy tickets if you will not be able to show proof of vaccination if it is needed. There probably won't be any refund if you are denied entry on these grounds.

2) If we buy the tickets for you and then the event is cancelled after that, we will help you to get the refund of ticket cost, but we keep a service charge of 1,200 yen per ticket, as in our Terms and Conditions. Our service is to assist you to get tickets, then to assist you with a refund if it becomes necessary, and for that we keep a charge.

3) A mask must be worn over your mouth and nose at all times at the event. Food/drink sales will be limited. Hand sanitiser must be used. Cheering vocally is not allowed, but applause is encouraged. The wrestlers will not interact with fans inside or outside of the venue.

4) Your temperature will be measured at the door and anybody who has a fever will not be allowed to enter. We assume that there will be a refund of ticket cost in that case, but it hasn't happened to any of our customers yet so we don't know exactly how it would work.

5) Only 7-Eleven store pick-up will be possible for the ticket delivery method. We will email you with the date/time that pick-up begins, and you may pick up until any time during the event.

6)  All other Terms will be the same as on our website here:

Goeido - January 29th

Please beware that the border of Japan is still closed to almost everybody. We hope it will be open for February, but until the government announces something we must assume that it will be closed. Please do not order tickets unless you are in Japan already, or are OK with losing the money if you can't get in. There won't be any refund if you can't attend the event because the border is closed. 

The event on February 6th is a single-elimination tournament for the top 2 divisions, with a winner in each division declared at the end. The location is the Ryogoku Kokugikan, just like the major Tokyo tournaments. The doors open at 11:00am and the event starts at 11:30am. It will finish around 5:30PM. You can arrive and leave at any time. The 2nd-division tournament will be first, then the top-division tournament later.

Children 3 years old and younger do not need a ticket if they will not require their own seat.

There will be Covid protocols in effect for the event. Please read the below information. These are the rules right now, but it could change.

1) There will be an empty seat between all sold Arena seats (chairs) on the 2nd floor. It means that if you need 2 or more Arena tickets, you will not be sitting next to each other, but should have 1 space between you.

2) If you order Box tickets, there will be Boxes for 2 people only (regular 4-person Boxes are being sold for just 2 people at the price of 2 tickets). If you are more than 2 people, then ordering 2 or more boxes might let you sit in boxes next to each other, but we can't promise it.

3) If we buy the tickets for you and then the event is cancelled after that, we will help you to get the refund of ticket cost, but we keep a service charge of 1,200 yen per ticket, as in our Terms and Conditions. Our service is to assist you to get tickets, then to assist you with a refund if it becomes necessary, and for that we keep a charge.
