Comiket Ticketing Service Blocks International Users Over Cybersecurity Concerns
The staff behind Japan's Comic Market (Comiket) announced on Wednesday that the ticketing platform Ticketpay is restricting access for users outside of Japan. This measure, implemented to guard against cyberattacks, effectively bars international fans from entering the lottery for Comiket 109 tickets. The event is scheduled to take place at Tokyo Big Sight from December 29 to 31.
Organizers are currently investigating alternative purchasing methods for overseas attendees. However, they noted that finding a viable solution will be difficult given the short timeframe between the announcement and the event's opening date.
