Good to know
Tickets are most reliably purchased through eplus.jp or pia.jp; both platforms accept foreign credit cards and offer Lawson convenience store pickup, which avoids any delivery address complications. LIVE HOUSE OP's is a compact, intimate live house in Fukuoka suited to a standing crowd of several hundred, meaning sightlines are generally good from most positions on the floor. Cash is recommended for merchandise and drinks at the bar, as smaller live houses in Japan frequently do not accept cards for in-venue purchases. Bags larger than A4 size may be subject to a bag check fee at the door, so travel light if possible.
