JMW WEEKLY WRISTBANDS + TICKETS
With the JMW wristband on any evening during 9-15 Nov you’ll be able to follow our event guide’s maps to stroll around between multiple events and appreciate the best of Tokyo/International underground culture, and enjoy a musical tour of the city at the fraction of the normal cost. (At least half our events will be free to wristband holders. Others will be half-price or 20% off.)
JMW wristbands are now on sale! Please purchase weekly discount wristbands or single event tickets directly from each event organizer, performer, or participating venue, including Shibuya O East. You can also buy tickets from Lawson Ticket to our 11/9 JMW Launch Party at O East which entitle you to receive a free wristband. (Lawson’s L-code is 73222)
Mail us at info@japanmusicweek.com if you have any questions.
Wristbands can now be purchased through our website via paypal. However as more and more events are confirmed we advise that you purchase your tickets directly from an event that you wish to see, guaranteeing you ‘priority-entry’ even if it is crowded or ‘sold out’.
Along with your ticket for that event you will also be given, (or be able to buy at discounted rate) a JMW weekly wristband which will allow you access to other JMW events subject to capacity and any extra admission fee for each individual event and promoter.
The good news is we hope to have many good deals for all wristband wearers at the very first Japan Music week!!!
