Tips for getting Entry ticket ( Numbered tickets, Same-day tickets ) !
On days when Gundam Base Tokyo is crowded, numbered tickets with available entry times will be distributed in front of the store. If you do not receive a numbered ticket and arrive at the front of the store at the listed entry time, you will not be able to enter the store. If you go to get a numbered ticket in the afternoon on a busy day, the numbered tickets for that day may have already been distributed and you may not be able to enter the store on that day. Therefore, on days when crowds are expected to be high, such as Japanese holidays, we recommend that you go to the store in the morning to get a numbered ticket.
