Tokyo pop-up shop to require lottery entry on October 3–4

hololive production has amplified venue guidance that admission to the official pop-up shop in Tokyo will be controlled by a pre-entry lottery on the opening weekend. The shop, hololive production official pop up shop in TOKYO, is expected to be busy on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, 2026, so Ikebukuro PACKS will issue numbered tickets through a smartphone lottery instead of a walk-up line. Applications are accepted from Friday, September 11 at 12:00 JST through Thursday, September 17 at 23:59 JST. Entries are not first-come, first-served. Separate LivePocket pages are used for each day: October 3 at https://livepocket.jp/e/d7pgw and October 4 at https://livepocket.jp/e/dmwu0. A LivePocket account is required, and the registered name must match a government-issued ID such as a driver’s license, insurance card, My Number card, student ID, or passport, because staff will check identity at the door. A winning ticket does not reserve merchandise; items may sell out. Fans may apply for more than one time slot but cannot submit multiple entries for the same slot. Same-day numbered tickets may still be issued depending on crowding, with any update posted on the Ikebukuro PACKS account @ikebukuro_packs. Winners receive a QR-code ticket by email, valid only for the printed date and time and for one person, one use. Holders should arrive 15 minutes early at the shop’s rear entrance. Children of elementary-school age or younger may enter with an accompanying adult. Details are on the venue notice at https://ikebukuro-packs.com/shop/info/0911-3/.
