Advance tickets are now on sale on the Web! Special Viewing Day for Wheelchair Users to Continue!
2007.08.09


Hello, I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show office.

At last, advance ticket sale for the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 has started!

As keen readers of the Tokyo Motor Show blog are already aware, the E-tix online ticket service, which we introduced in our June 21 entry, started operations on August 1.

Some of you may have already bought tickets using the E-tix service.

You can easily buy tickets online at money-saving advance ticket prices of 1,100 yen for adults and 500 yen for junior high and high school students (tax included).
Queuing up for a long time to buy tickets at the entrances can now be a thing of the past.

Buying tickets online is a much smarter way of enjoying the Tokyo Motor Show.

I would like to give you two tips for coming to the Tokyo Motor Show.

1.Take comfortable public transportation, i.e. buses and trains, to come to the site, avoiding traffic jams!

2.Buy tickets in advance on the Internet to avoid the hassle of waiting in line to buy tickets!

These are this year's smart ways for coming to the Tokyo Motor Show.

We need to be careful about barcodes though.
If the barcode on online tickets printed out is stained or folded, reading errors may occur when trying to enter the site.

With an Internet connection, you can buy Tokyo Motor Show tickets online from anywhere around the world. Credit cards are accepted.
It's easy and there are not any service or other extra fees.
Please use our online ticket service!

Buy your tickets early to take advantage of the current prices.
After the Tokyo Motor Show opens to the public on October 27, prices will return to the normal prices of 1,300 yen for adults and 600 yen for junior high and high school students (tax included).
Be sure to buy your tickets before October 27.

In addition to the online ticket service available now, you can buy advance tickets at public transportation agencies, travel agencies, convenience stores, theater ticket agencies, and other ticket agencies from September 21.
With the newly introduced online ticket service, in addition to conventional ticket agencies, you can buy Tokyo Motor Show tickets more easily and conveniently.
We hope more people will come to the Tokyo Motor Show.

The Tokyo Motor Show always attracts many visitors.
Starting with the 39th show in 2005, the show period was extended four days, thus including three weekends.
It smoothed out the number of visitors and relieving congestion, making it easier for visitors to look at exhibits.

Visitors in wheelchairs may still have difficulty looking at exhibits due to their lower viewing levels. Other people may stand in front of them, blocking their view.

The Tokyo Motor Show has designated the afternoon of the second press day, when there are only press people, as Special Viewing Day for People in Wheelchairs.
Such special viewing day has been held twice already.
We hope people in wheelchairs can enjoy the Tokyo Motor Show comfortably without crowding.

Many people enjoy the special viewing.
At the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, 327 people in wheelchairs and 399 attendants participated.
Participants increased by almost 30 percent compared to the 37th Tokyo Motor Show in 2003.
More and more people are learning about the Special Viewing Day for People in Wheelchairs.

If you would like to attend the Special Viewing Day for People in Wheelchairs at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007, you can download the application form from the website from August 6.
Please fill in the form and email or fax it to the Makuhari Messe office of the Tokyo Motor Show.

The Special Viewing Day for People in Wheelchairs will be held in the afternoon from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. on the second press day, Thursday, October 25.
The square shaped pedestrian deck on the way from JR Kaihim Makuhari Station to Makuhari Messe now has more elevators.
The pedestrian deck is just in front of Gate North 2 at the Makuhari Messe site.
Coming from the station to the site is now easier.
In addition, elevators were newly installed in the East Hall (Hall 7) and North Hall (on the north side) at the Makuhari Messe site.
The 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 is even more barrier-free than previous shows.

On August 6, visit the Tokyo Motor Show Website!

We sincerely hope many people will apply for the special viewing.

It's August already.
The Tokyo Motor Show blog will continue to provide information for you including exclusive inside information that you cannot find anywhere else.
You will be glad to read it.
