The world’s largest martial arts organization is officially set for a return to Tokyo, Japan, and fans now have an opportunity to secure their spot at what promises to be a blockbuster event.
ONE 173 will take place at the Ariake Arena on Sunday, November 16, and those in attendance can expect another star-studded, action-packed fight card featuring high-stakes matchups across a variety of martial arts disciplines.
The pre-sale ticket lottery is now underway for ONE 173, and everything fans need to know about the process can be found below.
What Is The Ticket Lottery?
The ONE 173 pre-sale ticket lottery is an opportunity for fans to buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public next month.
Entering the ticket lottery does not secure one’s ticket to the event. Fans selected through the chance-based lottery system will receive a purchase link via their registered email.
When Does The Ticket Lottery Begin And End?
Applications opened at 12 p.m. JST on Friday, June 13, and will close at 11:59 p.m. JST on Wednesday, June 18. Winners will receive a notification at 1 p.m. JST on Saturday, June 21, through their registered email address.
The timing of your application within the designated period will not affect your chances of selection or your seating options.
How Do Fans Enter The Early Bird Ticket Lottery?
Fans can enter the pre-sale ticket lottery here. Simply follow the steps provided.
No ePlus membership is required to participate. However, applicants must provide their name, email address, phone number, nationality, and residence information. Fans can select up to 10 tickets per application and choose their preferred seating category.
The system allows fans to enter a second-choice seating option as a backup. If the first preference isn’t available, the second choice automatically enters the lottery selection.
Fans can check the lottery results through the Application History page here using their application number and registered phone number. While email notifications are sent, the Application History page provides the most reliable result confirmation.
How Does The Ticket Lottery And Payment Process Work?
After following the application process described above, winners will be selected at random. This special pre-sale offers 20 percent discounts on CAT1-CAT3 tickets, including wheelchair-accessible seating.
Winners will have their registered credit card automatically charged between the application period’s end and the result notification on June 21. Fans should ensure their card has sufficient available credit before applying, as failed transactions invalidate the application.
Successful purchasers will receive QR code tickets via email after payment completion. Paper tickets aren’t required – simply scan the QR code at the designated entrance on event day.
When Do General Ticket Sales For ONE 173 Begin?
General ticket sales for ONE 173 begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 5, for fans who don’t participate in the pre-sale lottery or aren’t selected.
