Tokyo Travel Forum

I will be in Tokyo for a few days in late May. As a big sports fan it would be really great to see a Japanese baseball game and even a J-League football match. Since I know you really cannot get tickets online, I was wondering if there was a central location where you can purchase tickets for sporting events in the Tokyo area. Ideally I would like to travel to the outer stadiums, but I do not want to come back empty handed. Thanks for any info!

Actually you could get your tickets online! But most common way is to go to LAWSON convenience store , which are plentyful in Tokyo, and buy though an ATM-type machine.

You'll need someone who can READ japanese to help you but even with basic words (such as Baseball ticket - Yakyu chiketo) and name of the teams you could get by?

I don't know anything about outer stadiums or even baseball but Tokyo Dome is where the Giants play but thats in central Tokyo.

Ganbatte! (good luck)
