How to read a concert on-sale poster: the 10 lines that decide whether you get in

1–3. When, where, and when it sells

• Show date and time, with doors. Multi-night runs list each night — sometimes one is added later (加場).
• Venue, which decides the seat map and the journey.
• Sale schedule: often presales for fan-club members or a partner bank's cardholders before the general sale. Times are the host country's local time — convert them with our time-zone guide.

4–6. Where, how much, and what comes with it

• The ticketing platform: only the one named is official.
• Prices per tier and the seat map, usually before platform fees.
• Benefits per tier and their conditions — draws open only to tickets bought before a date, limited slots, fixed gathering times. Often the smallest print on the poster.

7–10. Limits, payment, delivery, entry

• Ticket limits per account, purchase or ID number.
• Payment methods and how long a held ticket waits for payment.
• Delivery: e-ticket, or paper collected at a counter in set hours — read it before booking flights.
• Entry rules: named tickets, ID checks, age limits.

When the poster and the ticket page disagree

Trust the latest word from the official channels — the show's ticket page and the promoter. A poster is a snapshot; schedules change and nights get added.
