hololive’s 5th fes, as well as their third SUPER EXPO are being held on March 16th (Sat) & 17th (Sun), 2024 in Makuhari Messe Event Hall (again) near Tokyo! Last year, many foreigners managed to attend and it was a very exciting event for all hololive fans alike, and this year’s will no doubt be just as exciting, if not more.
If you are one of the many wondering “how can I, as a foreigner, attend this Japanese event?”, then you’ve found the right guide. The information here may not be 100% accurate, but it is built on the experience of many foreigners attempting to attend last year’s hololive SUPER EXPO 2023 & 4th fes.

<aside> ⚠️ Disclaimer: A large portion of this guide was created using information gathered from last year’s EXPO & 4th fes.
Be aware that a more foreigner-friendly ticketing option may be available for 5th fes & EXPO, and that 5th fes & EXPO may no longer utilize Lawson Ticket as a ticketing service. Regardless, much of the ticketing process remains the same if a foreigner-friendly option does not open up.

The process of obtaining tickets to hololive SUPER EXPO 2024 & hololive 5th fes (hereafter abbreviated to EXPO & fes) is relatively simple, if you are currently residing in Japan. However, for us foreigners, it’s a rather tedious process.
The ticketing site that EXPO & fes is projected to use is ローチケ Lawson Ticket (hereafter referred to as L-tike), and the ticketing process can be split into three parts. In this page, I’ll mainly be covering the process of obtaining a ticket through the Advance Lottery (先行抽選) method, while the other method, Normal Sales (一般販売) is covered briefly in this section.
