If the number of the tickets exceed the number of the dolls, we will conduct a lottery to randomly choose who can purchase the dolls.
We thank you for your kind understanding.

[How to obtain a reservation ticket]
-We will be distributing tickets from 9:00 am to 9:30 am on the day of the event.
You will not be able to leave from the line when you are in line.
Tickets will not be available after 9:30.

-Please be careful not to lose your ticket!

[About Sale & Lottery]
-After 9:30 if the number of the tickets exceed the number of the dolls, there will be a lottery.
You will need to be in line in numeric order of the reservation ticket to wait for the lottery that starts from 9:40. If your number comes up in the lottery you will get a "purchase ticket" that promises you to buy the doll.
If you are out of the line when the lottery starts you will not be able to join the lottery even if you have the ticket.
If the number of the tickets do not exceed the number of the dolls, everyone that holds a ticket will be able to purchase one doll, and we will replace your reservation ticket with a "purchase ticket" from the head of the line.
-The dolls will be available for purchase at the special booth on 3F for those of you who got the "purchase tickets" from 10:00 am but it may take some time to purchase depending on how crowded it is.
-The "purchase ticket" will be invalid after 2:00 pm. Please make sure to purchase the doll at the booth on 3F by 2:00 pm.
If you don't purchase it by 2:00 pm your ticket will be cancelled and no claims regarding to this process will be accepted.
-The dolls will only be available for those of you who have "purchase tickets" by 2:00 pm. After 3:00 pm we will be selling out the dolls for any customers if there are any cancellations.
-The number of the "purchase tickets" equals the number of the dolls. You will not be able to purchase more than one doll with a ticket.
