6. Submit your application: After filling in the information, click "提交预约" (Submit reservation) to enter the lottery pool.
The ticketing process explained
The system operates as a multi-stage lottery:
Reservation → Lottery draw (win/lose) → waitlist → waitlist lottery draw
This method ensures a fair chance for all fans to purchase the low-cost tickets. Don't miss your chance to be part of the game!
