Crowd Control & Entrance Lines
You're wondering how the lines are set up at Japan Expo Marseille? You're worried about too much crowd? We organize controls at the entrance to make sure everything goes well from the moment you arrive. To be ready on D-day, read what follows!
To guarantee your safety and well-being, you are guided from the moment you arrive and at every step that will lead you to the festival entrance:
- safety barriers are set up to manage the flow
- signs indicate where you have to go
- Japan Expo Marseille staff members help you and guide you to avoid dangerous crowd waves
Also, the number of tickets sold is always limited to the capacity of the halls. This way, anyone with a ticket is sure to be allowed in and to enjoy the festival.
To get ready, discover every step of your arrival below.
1. Security Checks
After sanitary checks, you will be led to security checks.
Due to the security level (Vigipirate), all attendees must go through security checks before entering the festival.
The current security rules may change before the event.
2. The lines
After security checks, the attendees are invited to line up in the line corresponding to their type of ticket:
- the presale line if you already have a 1-day ticket, a week-end pass, or a 3-day pass
- the line dedicated to Zen Ticket holders
PLEASE NOTE: this year, in order to guarantee flow control, there will be no on-site ticket sales. However, you will be able to buy tickets online, within the available stocks, only via our online ticketing or our application. Go to the pre-sale queue if you don't have a ticket.
3. Entrances & Cash Desks
From 9.15 am, visitors with tickets are led to the festival entrance after ticket control.
Zen ticket owners are allowed in from 8.45 am. Zen + 15 ans ticket owners are allowed in from 8.30 am
Visitors in wheelchairs have a dedicated access to the festival. Please head to the priority queue. Accompanying people with reduced mobility whose disability card bears the words: "need for accompaniment" or "blindness", as well as children under 8, benefit from free tickets that must be picked up at the Troubleshooting Desk. In both cases, documents will be requested.
advice
