Regarding the sale in advance of the booklet

Regarding the possibility to buy or not buy in advance or the date of publishing of the booklet, check each event information page.
Basically, we sell in advance the booklet at the occasion of large-scale events at bookshops or on the Internet by mail order (b2-online reservation settlement website). For advance sale information, have a look at each event page's information. Due to distribution cost, the price of the advance sale of the booklet in bookshops differs from the price of the booklet on the day of the event. Take note of this difference.
Even in the case of an advance purchase, make sure to bring the booklet with you.
After purchasing in advance, holders of booklet that have been considerably altered or divided in parts will not be admitted to the venue.
If such a booklet is discovered at the entrance gate, you will have to purchase it a second time.
In the case of large-scale events, we will prepare a special entrance at the main gate for those who have made the purchase in advance.
