Tokyo Game Show 2026 Public Days Tickets and Schedule

If you plan to buy admission at the gate, no same-day tickets will be sold at Makuhari Messe. Tokyo Game Show 2026 Public Days run from September 19 to 21 in Japan, with general one-day admission costing 3,000 yen for middle school students and older.
Choose a date before paying
For overseas residents, the official ticket page directs you to Trip.com. A ticket booked for the wrong date cannot be exchanged or refunded, so checking the date before payment helps avoid an unusable purchase. The 3,000 yen price includes tax; separate ticketing and system fees may apply.
Sales stop when the planned quantity sells out. Confirm the seller's final deadline on the payment screen.

Build an afternoon arrival checklist
For a September 21 (Japan) visit, you need to plan around the 15:00 first-entry cutoff, even though the venue closes at 16:00. These times are local to Japan. Use this short checklist to keep the arrival plan realistic:
- Allow for the walk and entry queue separately. The approximately 5-minute walk from Kaihin-Makuhari Station excludes waiting to enter.
- Have the electronic ticket's QR code ready on a smartphone.
- Bring identification if planning to try games with age restrictions.
