The martial arts world is buzzing with excitement as ONE Championship announced its highly anticipated return to Tokyo. Set for 16 November at the iconic Ariake Arena, ONE 173 promises to deliver an unforgettable night of world-class competition that will showcase the very best in kickboxing, mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, and submission grappling.
For fight fans eager to witness history in the making, the opportunity to secure tickets has arrived through an innovative pre-sale lottery system. This fan-friendly approach ensures everyone gets a fair shot at attending what's shaping up to be one of the year's most significant martial arts events.
The pre-sale lottery launched on 13 June at noon JST and runs through 18 June at 11:59 PM. Winners will discover their fate on 21 June at 1 PM JST when notifications hit their inboxes. The beauty of this system? It doesn't matter if you apply on day one or in the final hour – everyone has equal odds.
What makes this lottery particularly attractive is the substantial 20% discount on premium seating categories (CAT1-CAT3), including accessible seating options. It's ONE Championship's way of rewarding their most dedicated supporters with both savings and priority access.
The application process couldn't be simpler. No membership requirements, no complicated hoops to jump through – just basic contact information and your seating preferences. You can apply for up to 10 tickets and even select a backup seating option in case your first choice isn't available.
The payment system is equally straightforward. Winners have their registered credit cards charged automatically after the lottery closes, eliminating the stress of racing to complete purchases within a tight window. Just make sure your card has enough available credit – failed transactions will void your application entirely.
Gone are the days of worrying about lost paper tickets. Successful purchasers receive QR codes via email, which serve as their golden tickets to the arena. A simple scan at the entrance is all that stands between you and an incredible night of martial arts action.
For those who miss the lottery or prefer to wait, general sales open 5 July at 10 AM. But given the expected demand and the discount offered through the pre-sale, entering the lottery might be your best bet for both securing seats and saving money.
ONE 173 represents more than just another fight card – it's a celebration of martial arts excellence in one of the sport's most passionate markets. Tokyo fans have always brought incredible energy to ONE Championship events, and 16 November promises to be no exception.
