About Priority Admission Tickets for the Front Area
Here is an overview of the LuckyFes’26 “Priority Admission Ticket for the Front Area,” including eligibility and how to apply.
What Are Front Area Priority Admission Tickets?
Continuing from last year, LuckyFes will establish front-row areas at the three stages—RAINBOW STAGE, WING STAGE, and GARDEN STAGE—under a “paid admission system with seat rotation at each performance” to help prevent heatstroke, and will begin lottery sales for these tickets.
*This does not apply to the HILLS STAGE.
*Opening acts are not included.
* Applications are limited to one per person per artist. For groups, up to 7 people may apply together. There is no limit on the number of artists you can apply for.
*Please note that depending on the situation on the day of the event, if there is still space available in the front-row area after those who purchased priority admission tickets have entered, we may direct attendees who did not purchase these tickets into the front-row area immediately before the performance begins.
NEW: Regarding the Second Round of Sales (First-Come, First-Served) for Front Area Priority Admission Tickets
We have decided to hold a second round of sales (First-Come, First-Served) for “LuckyFes Front Area Priority Admission Tickets.”
As previously announced, we have decided to hold this second round of sales for all artists except those who have already reached capacity. Our goal is to allow as many Friends as possible to enjoy LuckyFes up close with as many artists as possible.
The second round of sales differs from the first in three key ways. We’ve designed it to allow you to purchase Front Area Priority Admission Tickets simply and quickly.
1) Tickets will be sold on a First-Come, First-Served basis and sales will close once capacity is reached.2) Eligible purchasers are all Friends (attendees) who have purchased a LuckyFes ticket and wish to enter the front area (email verification is not required).
3) You can purchase tickets as a group or individually (you do not need to set up “Front Area Viewing Companions”).

Admission Rules
① The priority entry waiting area for the front section will open 45 minutes before the artist’s performance begins (30 minutes before for the Garden Stage). Please wait in the lane corresponding to the queue number printed on your “Front Section Priority Entry Ticket” and in the designated waiting area marked with your queue number.
② The lanes in the priority entry waiting area are divided into groups of 200 numbers; we will verify your “Front Area Priority Entry Ticket” at the entrance to each lane.
③ Admission to the front area will begin 15 minutes before the artist’s performance starts, in order of queue number. Please wait at the designated waiting area corresponding to your queue number within the priority admission waiting area until admission begins.
*Please note that the queue numbers on the Priority Entry Tickets for the Front Area are not unique to each individual but are displayed as block numbers in groups of 10.
Example: They will be displayed as “10s,” “20s,” “30s,” etc., with the same queue number assigned to 10 people. This change was implemented based on a suggestion from the event staff that guiding attendees in groups of 10 would ensure a smoother entry process.
* If you wish to enter with companions who have different queue numbers, please enter according to the number of the person at the back of your group.
* Information regarding the “Priority Entry Waiting Area for the Front Section” located next to each stage will be provided at a later date on the area map.
* Crowds are expected as the admission start time approaches. Please arrive with plenty of time to spare.
* You may still enter even if you are not present when admission begins.
* Please note that depending on the situation on the day of the event, if there is sufficient space in the front area after holders of Priority Entry Tickets for the Front Area have entered, and in consideration of requests from past performing artists and to create a lively atmosphere, we may guide those without Priority Entry Tickets for the Front Area into the front area immediately before the performance begins.
Important Notes Regarding the Front Area
- The front area operates on a complete rotation system for each artist. Please be sure to exit the area completely, even if you have been selected to see the next artist.
- If an artist’s performance is canceled, your winning ticket will become invalid. Winning tickets cannot be transferred to a replacement artist.
- There are no designated viewing sections by ticket number within the front area. After entering, please find an available spot within the front area to watch the performance.
- Admission to the front area is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before each artist’s performance starts.
- Even if you have been selected for the front area for multiple performers, please note that if you arrive late for the designated meeting time due to travel time or other circumstances, we may not be able to guide you to your seat in order of your admission number. We appreciate your understanding. When applying, please check the start times for each stage and the travel time between venues before submitting your application.
