If you’re eyeing the CITY THE ANIMATION special event in Tokyo, here’s the one decision that matters most: do you want the standard seat, or the goods-included ticket with a limited Concept Conte Book? The twist is that the bonus book changes depending on whether you attend the daytime or evening show—so your “which ticket?” question is really a “which bonus?” question.
Ticket prices and sale window for Geishun CITY Matsuri
The event, titled “CITY THE ANIMATION Special Event: Geishun CITY Matsuri,” will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at Nakano ZERO Large Hall in Tokyo. Tickets come in two options: a standard reserved-seat ticket for 9,500 yen (tax included), or a goods-included reserved-seat ticket for 10,900 yen (tax included).
The general sale is scheduled to run from 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 to 11:59 PM on Saturday, January 10, 2026, and it’s first-come, first-served—sales may end early once the allotment is gone. For the most accurate real-time status, check the official ticket details.
Goods-included ticket bonus: Concept Conte Book 1 vs 2
If you choose the goods-included ticket, you’ll receive an A4 “Concept Conte Book” with illustration comments. The bonus differs by performance: the daytime show includes Concept Conte Book 1, while the evening show includes Concept Conte Book 2.
One detail fans will want to note: Book 1 and Book 2 contain different conte material, while the illustration comments are the same. In other words, if you can only attend one show, pick the performance based on which set of behind-the-scenes pages you want on your shelf.
Key purchase rules to avoid last-minute trouble
There are a few purchase rules you’ll want to lock in before you buy. You can purchase up to two tickets per performance, and tickets are issued only as e-tickets through Pony Canyon’s “PoniCan” app, so you’ll need the free app installed on your smartphone. Applications from PCs or feature phones are not supported, and preschool children are not admitted.
Also worth knowing: the official site lists an earlier “priority lottery” tied to Blu-ray/DVD volumes, but that application period has already ended—so for most fans right now, the general first-come sale is the main route.
Showtimes and venue details for January 10 in Tokyo
The event has two performances at Nakano ZERO Large Hall. The daytime show opens at 1:45 PM and starts at 2:30 PM, while the evening show opens at 5:45 PM and starts at 6:30 PM. The program includes talk segments and live dubbing, with different live-dubbing content planned for day versus night.

Call to action: choose your bonus, then grab your seat
If you’re torn between tickets, keep it simple: decide which Concept Conte Book you want (1 for day, 2 for night), then buy as soon as you can while seats remain. For full event info and any last-minute updates, visit the official event page.
