[Seating Chart]

【About seat spacing】
For this match, please be seated in a checkerboard pattern with one seat empty in front, behind, left, and right, only in the lower level of the home general seating area and visitor general seating area designated as the "vocal support area".
*Please note that due to the structure of the stadium, there may be areas where seats are not arranged regularly. Please understand in advance.

Tickets will be sold with seats arranged closely except in the vocal support area.

2. Stadium capacity limit of 50% and viewing for SOCIO and corporate annual ticket holders only
Based on the J-League's newly established guidelines for COVID-19 infection prevention and the government's basic response policy, the stadium capacity will be limited to a maximum of 50%.
As mentioned earlier, the "Cheering Area" will have spaced seating, but outside of the "Cheering Area," seating will be close together.
There is no 50% limit per seat type; ticket sales will end as soon as the number of tickets sold reaches 50% of the stadium's capacity, so please purchase your tickets early.

【SOCIO Members Only】
Although it will be limited to 50% capacity, seating with spacing between seats will only be available in the lower section of the home general seating area, and will be implemented under Pattern A. Regardless of the advance seating assignment or refund method, you can enter with your SOCIO card.
Refund reception will be available only for home free seat SOCIO members who have selected the refund method. (See below 3.)

【For corporate season ticket holders】
Corporate season ticket holders can use exchange vouchers.
Please bring your ticket for the match and proceed to the exchange tent.
* For those with home general admission seats, we will ask for your preference of lower or upper tier at the time of exchange and provide the tickets accordingly

3. Regarding the refund reception for home general admission SOCIO members who have selected the refund method
Regarding the refund method, it is stated at the time of sale that "refunds will be provided for matches that have become limited in terms of holding and require seating with spacing between seats."
For this match, those with home general admission seats will need to have some seating gaps in certain areas, so we will implement a refund reception for those who wish to do so within the home general admission SOCIO selection.
