Entry by persons who registered in advance

There will be no staff on hand on Business Day to provide assistance for finding your way to Makuhari Messe from Kaihin-Makuhari Station, etc. If you are visiting the venue for the first time, we encourage you to check the directions for getting to the venue in advance of your visit.
(Information on how to get to the venue can be found here.

The reception counter for TGS2015 admission opens at 8 a.m. It is scheduled to be located on the second-floor concourse in front of International Exhibition Hall 3. TGS staff members at the reception counter will confirm your ID after which you will be given a badge holder with a Business Day pass. Please then proceed on to the end of the admission queue.

Note that you will need to show the following items at the reception counter: a printout of the “Business Day WEB Ticket with QR code” (A4 paper size) that is attached to the email confirming completion of your advance registration, photo identification and business card. Please have them ready when you go to the reception counter.
