Advance lottery entry is now open for the Pokémon Card Game 30th CELEBRATION EVENT. The in-person anniversary event for the physical Pokémon Card Game will bring battle, stage, and other activities to venues in Chiba and Osaka.
Choosing between two passes
Applicants can choose the 30th CELEBRATION Scramble Battle pass or a general admission pass. Admission is free, but advance lottery entry is required through Sekanavi in the LINE app using the official Pokémon Card Game event operations account. Lottery results are scheduled for Oct. 2 at 5:00 p.m. JST.
Scramble Battle applicants must link their Pokémon Card Game Players Club profile by noon JST on Sep. 18. Anyone applying for both pass types will be treated as applying for the Scramble Battle pass only.
Event dates in Chiba and Osaka
The Chiba event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 25 in International Exhibition Halls 4–7 at Makuhari Messe. The Osaka event will use Zone B of Hall 6 at INTEX Osaka on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, with the same opening hours. Reception is scheduled to close at 5:30 p.m. at both venues.
More program details are still to come
The official event page lists battle, stage, and other activity areas. Some campaign information and floor-map details remain marked as coming soon, so attendees can check the event page again before their visit.
Snackgirls react
Red — I want to jump into the Scramble Battle and feel the pace of an in-person match. I’d get the Players Club link sorted before entry closes.
Nea — I’m curious about the campaign details and floor map still to come. Seeing how the battle and stage areas fit together could shape the whole day.
