Is there a minimum age to attend Masters Tokyo?
- No, there is no minimum age to attend the event. However, people aged 14 or under can only enter accompanied by a legally responsible adult, with proper supporting documentation.
Are there any restrictions on legal age for ticket purchase to be valid?
- As a general rule, any agreement made by a minor (i.e., a person younger than 18 years of age) without a consent of his/her parents may be terminated by himself/herself or his/her parents. Among the exceptions is, however, that such agreement may not be terminated if the payment of the minor will be made with the money permitted to use for such purpose by the parents. Considering the generally low prices of the tickets of the esports event, the purchase of the tickets will be deemed to be made with the money permitted by their parents and in most cases you can reject termination of the ticket purchase.
Are there any restrictions on the ability of minors to attend events without an adult?
- Each prefecture has its own ordinance for protection of minors. Please review the pertinent details regarding the events:
