[Preventive measures against new coronavirus infection]
On your visit
-To minimize the potential for transmission in standard tear-style tickets, we are sending replacement postcards that should be used for your seat reservations instead. The postcards will also assign seats, as well as your designated arrival time, in accordance with the social distancing plan. Unless there are special circumstances, seats will be allocated with open seats.
-Please fill in your name, address and phone number in advance on the postcard. Contact information for all visitors is required to prevent the spread of infection.
-Please wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and follow proper cough etiquette.
-If you do not wear a mask, our staff will ask you to do so.
-Staff will wear masks and gloves.
-Please take your temperature at home before coming to the event.
-Please refrain from coming to the venue if you are not feeling well or suspect you are infected due to any of the following symptoms:
- A higher fever
- Coughing, sore throat
- Visit to a country/region where the infection continues to spread within the past two weeks
About the venue
-In order to alleviate the congestion at the entrance of the hall, staggered admission/exit will be implemented. Your postcard will show your seat number as well as your designated arrival time. We ask that you do your best to arrive at the designated time, but will accommodate you if you cannot.
-Please show and keep your seat number postcard at the time of admission and then put it in the collection box after the concert. No contact will be made at the time of entrance or exit.
-After the concert, please follow staff guidance so that we can have a staggered exit.
-In the unlikely event that an infected person is found among the visitors, we may contact you in cooperation with the local health center to confirm the route of infection and take countermeasures.
-The postcards will be kept in a safe place and not referenced for any other purpose. They will be burned one month after receipt at the venue.
