Professional baseball and Hiroshima will distribute a lottery ticket that can be purchased right last year to prevent purchases for resale purposes for official games held at the home base of Mazda Stadium on 23rd of next month Announced. Last year, there was a great deal of confusion, such as when lots of people exceeded expectations and the distribution of lottery tickets was discontinued during the course of the event.

Hiroshima has introduced a system that allows people who have been drawn by lottery to purchase tickets for official games held at Mazda Stadium from last year, in order to prevent buying up for resale purposes.

However, when distributing the lottery ticket, a total of about 50,000 people gathered beyond the assumption of the baseball team gathered, the line extended to the outside of the baseball stadium, and the surrounding traffic was hindered. There was great confusion, such as complaints from people who did not get the ticket.

The team has announced that they will distribute lottery tickets at Mazda Stadium on the 23rd of this month for the sale of tickets this season.

On the other hand, as a countermeasure against congestion, the number of locations to be distributed has been increased more than three times from last year's six locations, and the entrance has a front gate at the baseball stadium. And last year, the distribution target was gathered by 11 am, but the thing is to spread from 9 am to 4 pm.

Each lottery ticket is a single one. Last year, the person who received the lottery ticket was once again in line, so we stamped on the back of the hand so that we can only get the lottery ticket once. .

The team will distribute the lottery ticket to everyone who arrives in time, but if there is confusion as in last year, it may cancel the distribution.

The lottery winners are expected to be 1200, and the announcement will be made on the 28th of next month. And the winner can buy a ticket at the stadium window on March 1.

Discontinued lottery ticket distribution last year, causing great confusion

Tickets for official matches held at Mazda Stadium have become more popular as Hiroshima has won the league for the third consecutive year since 2016, making it difficult to obtain, and are now being resold at high prices on the Internet.

For this reason, the team introduced a new system last year to allow people who have been drawn by lottery to purchase tickets in order to prevent them from buying up for resale or taking up space on sheets.

However, the lottery ticket distribution that took place in February last year attracted a total of about 50,000 people, far exceeding expectations, and the line of people did not fit on the stadium grounds, overflowing to the road.

As a result, there was guidance from the police as there was an obstacle to car traffic, etc., and since the Hiroshima Station and the railroad crossing were near, there was a message from JR West that "there could be an obstacle to operation". Distribution of lottery tickets has been discontinued.

Due to the schedule, lottery tickets were to be distributed to all the people who gathered at Mazda Stadium, which caused great confusion such as complaints from those who did not get the tickets.

On the other hand, the introduction of lottery tickets has had a certain effect, such as the fact that there was almost no room for tents or sheets to be resold, compared to adults who were distributing numbered tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.

However, the inability to handle more visitors than expected was highlighted as an issue, and the team indicated that they would consider a new sales system and measures to prevent congestion.
