Seating Notes:

• Side/Obscured View Seats: TERRIBLE for actually watching the stage, but a potential prime spot for fanservice as some of them are right in front of the stairs up to the stage. Perfectly acceptable when attending a live.
• Despite its reputation, there’s really not a truly bad seat within the general seating. Even sitting 9~10 rows back is still quite close since it’s a small venue. (Note: The seats will be flat for a live and raised with each row on its own level for a stage. The front rows are quite low relative to the stage itself.)
• Standing seats for a stage will likely be along the outer walls and are okay, but are essentially obscured view seats. For a live, they may be either along the back wall (great) or along the side (just okay).
• Day-of balcony seats come highly recommended by the fanbase and are nice enough as the balcony is not particularly tall. However, you cannot stand during a live if you are in the front row due to the low front wall.
• Capacity can be severely reduced during streaming days. I would estimate Stellar Ball loses up to a solid ~60 seats, making stream days even more competitive than your typical shonichi/senshuuraku performance elsewhere. They have been taking steps to make more seats available, so you may find yourself sitting directly next to a cameraman.

Other Notes:

• Stellar Ball is THE strictest venue about ID checks. Make sure your ID matches your ticket to avoid potential problems.
• There is a 7-11 and cafeteria nearby, but the cafeteria fills up fast between shows as people going to both matinee and soiree like to hang around. The staff will also attempt to verbally chase you out if you break the “no outside food” rule, but they’re not generally capable of physically evicting you.
• The nearby restaurants will also generally fill up quickly. Don’t count on being able to get a seat at a specific place, especially if the weather is bad. Walking across the station to the mall or restaurants on the other side is also a great option.
