FAQ
Common questions about attending events in this city
01What concert venues does Sendai have?
Major venues include Sendai Gymnasium (7,000 capacity), Zepp Sendai (2,000), and Miyagi Stadium (49,000, used for large events and ARABAKI festival).
02How to get from Tokyo to Sendai?
About 1.5 hours by Tohoku Shinkansen. Very convenient.
03What is the ARABAKI Rock Festival?
ARABAKI is Tohoku's largest outdoor music festival, held every late April near Sendai. It features top Japanese rock and indie artists.
04What concert etiquette and rules should I know in Sendai?
Sendai venues follow the same rules as the rest of Japan — phone recording is strictly prohibited. Sendai Gymnasium and Zepp Sendai are relatively compact, and audiences maintain excellent order with disciplined queuing. For the ARABAKI festival, which is outdoors, wear waterproof shoes and bring rain gear. Glass bottles and cans are prohibited at the festival grounds, and you must follow waste separation rules. Merchandise purchases also require queuing.
05Can I enjoy concerts in Sendai without speaking Japanese?
Yes, absolutely. Music is a universal experience, and most concerts can be fully enjoyed without Japanese. MC segments and announcements are in Japanese, but following the audience around you makes it easy to stay in the moment. As a regional Tohoku city, Sendai has less English signage and support compared to Tokyo or Osaka, so it's a good idea to research venue locations and transit routes in advance. Staff at major venues can provide simple English directions. The TIXVOY platform supports Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean to help international visitors purchase tickets with ease.
06How does Japan's fan club ticket lottery system work for Sendai concerts?
Popular concerts in Japan allocate tickets through a lottery (抽選) system rather than first-come-first-served. Fan club (FC) members receive priority lottery access, and subsequent general sales (一般販売) are also often lottery-based. However, FC membership typically requires a Japanese address and local payment method, creating significant barriers for overseas fans. While Sendai has fewer tour dates than major cities, tickets for events like the ARABAKI festival are equally competitive. TIXVOY helps international fans obtain tickets for Sendai-area performances, ensuring overseas visitors can attend concerts with confidence.
