Tickets in Advance

According to Play Guide's usage guide, there are several ways of getting the tickets, depending on the method of payment. For example, you may choose to have the tickets mailed to you if you pay via credit card at least 9 days ahead of time. Or you may pay in cash at the local convenience store. You chose the payment and delivery system.

I use Loppi at the local convenience store often. I've heard, but not confirmed, that Pia also has tickets for most (if not all) teams. It's just a matter of giving it a try.

Hope this helps.

Pia (Sunkus, Circle K, and Family Mart) have tickets for all the teams. Family Mart actually has a ticket Kiosk where you can choose which teams you want to go see, but at Circle K and Sunkus, you need to actually go up to the register and ask the clerk to use "Ticket Pia." You'll need what's called a "P-Code" to give to the clerk. You can find that code in the ticket guidebook (usually on the counter somewhere for free) or you can check on the team's website and get it from there. It's all in Japanese though so, you'll need to be able to read it. If you need help finding the #, I can help. But the pia ticket guidebook is set up according to region i.e. Hokkaido, Kanto, etc. If you have anymore questions, I'll be happy to answer.

If you don't have a P-code, it's also fine. When you say the team, it will show a calendar of their games, so then you just choose the date and seating section. It depends a lot on the clerk you get. They can be very helpful or completely clueless about using the machine. But in Japan more times than not they are helpful, of course.
