Since the application periods occur in the order of JAPAN OFFICIAL -> MOBILE -> GLOBAL, does this mean if you fail in JAPAN OFFICIAL, you can retry in MOBILE?

Notes regarding companions

In Japan, unlike in Korea, it is possible to apply with a companion.
The description regarding companions is as follows.

Reading just this, it seems that as long as you don't upgrade, it's fine for the companion to be a non-member. I'm tempted to take my child, but I'm worried... If there's a chance, you'd want to upgrade, right!?

Looking at the Lawson Ticket specifications, it seems that you have to enter the companion's information at the time of the initial application (is only the name required?), so I thought it would be impossible to change it later or 'secure tickets without deciding who to go with'... but then I heard that you didn't actually need to enter it. Wow!

Postscript: The following site provided this information!

This time, it is paper tickets only, so it seems that resale or distribution using the Lawson Ticket app will not be possible.

Notes

• Prohibited items: Resale or transfer of tickets, recording or filming of the performance

• Identity verification required (requires membership card + photo ID).

• Entry restrictions apply (cameras, recording equipment, etc. are prohibited)

What is BTS JAPAN OFFICIAL MOBILE?

It's a subscription-based membership service where you can enjoy mobile-exclusive content for 330 yen per month. I had no idea, I didn't even know that existed...!

For now, let's clean up the land.

I have to make the ground Hobi walks on beautiful to welcome him...!

I'm used to a laid-back ticket environment, so I feel like I've been suddenly caught in a storm and I'm nervous. I wonder if I'll be able to get one... Well, I'll think about what comes next after I get the ticket. As long as I have money, an ARMY Bomb, and my membership card, I'll manage somehow!

Oh, so smartphones are indeed prohibited in Japan. I wanted to try that thing I saw at the Gala where people display electronic subtitles on their phones. What a shame!
