■ Points of the Super Early Bird Special Lottery
Point 1 ▶ Chance to be the first to confirm one or more advance bookings.
For tickets other than the Super Early Bird One-Day Ticket, bookings for visit date and time* can be made from six months before the desired visit date, and the lottery for pavilions and events opens three months before the visit date.
However, winners of the ‘Super Early Bird Special Lottery’ can secure their bookings for pavilions and events by Saturday 12 October 2024, which will also allow them to secure their visit date and time early.
*After purchasing your admission ticket, you will need to make a booking for your visit date and time in advance. Bookings will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from six months before the desired date and time of the visit.

However, some events do not have a set start time and are therefore not eligible for the “Super Early Bird Special Lottery.” In such cases, you can select only the “date and time of your visit” for the event in question in the “Super Early Bird Special Lottery,” and then apply for the ‘2-month advance lottery’ or ‘7-day advance lottery’ for the event at a later date.

Point 2  You can register up to five choices.
In the Super Early Bird Special Lottery, you can select up to your fifth choice of pavilion or event. If you want to visit on a specific date and time, you can choose a different pavilion or event on the same day, or you can choose different dates for the same pavilion or event if you want to be sure of getting a reservation for a specific pavilion or event.

Point 3 ▶ If you are not selected, you will still have another chance!
Even if you are not successful in the ‘Super Early Bird Special Lottery’ and do not get a booking for the pavilion or event of your choice, you can try again by making a booking for your visit date and time months before your desired date and applying for the’2-month advance lottery’ or→7-day advance lottery’. Including the first-come, first-served bookings for remaining available slots reservation, you can book up to three pavilions or events before the day of your visit.
