NARUTO Card Game's Bangkok appearance opens to the public today — admission is a 200-baht day pass (VAT incl.). But the organiser's own site gives two closing times, 8:00pm and 7:00pm, and the NARUTO official page carries not one line about getting in

Today is day one.

gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 in Bangkok, where the NARUTO Card Game is appearing, is printed on the official site’s English (Asia) edition with the period October 30 - November 1, 2026. The first of those days is today, October 30, 2026.

And yet the NARUTO page says nothing whatsoever about getting in. It gives the period, the venue, and one giveaway — follow the official Facebook page for a logo sticker (we recorded the full page in our October 27 article).

So we read the organiser’s own pages in full. The ticket prices and the hall are clear. Only the closing time comes in two versions.

What this article is based on: everything below comes from the NARUTO Card Game official site’s English (Asia) gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 page and from the event organiser’s own site gamescom.asia — its Dates & Opening Times and Tickets pages (all checked between 08:17 and 08:35 JST on October 30, 2026). Quotations keep the official wording. The NARUTO Card Game’s booth number, whether tutorial sessions will run and whether anything is sold there are unannounced, so we do not speculate. Conversions to Japan time are ours; local time (ICT, printed as GMT 7) is two hours behind. We do not convert baht to other currencies beyond the figures the organiser prints.

1. What opens today is the three-day “entertainment area”

The organiser’s event runs four days, broken down on Dates & Opening Times:

business area: 29 - 30 October conference: 29 - 30 October entertainment area: 30 October - 1 November

The NARUTO period October 30 - November 1, 2026 matches the entertainment area exactly (we recorded that match in the October 27 article). In other words, the days a member of the public can go and see the NARUTO Card Game are the three starting today.

The floors differ by area, too.

All of it is inside the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC); the organiser writes Both the business area and entertainment area will be held at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC).

Which area or hall the NARUTO Card Game booth sits in, however, is written neither by the organiser nor by NARUTO. The organiser’s 2026 Exhibitor List and Floor Plan yielded no contents in our environment (the HTML we retrieved contains not one exhibitor name), and the Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia announcement the NARUTO page links from LEARN MORE returned HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) for us today.

2. Two public tickets: 200 and 300 baht

The entertainment area Access - For Public section of the Tickets page lists the types and prices.

A note follows the prices:

Prices are inclusive of VAT (7%).

What the extra 100 baht buys is 30 minutes of early entry and a separate lane:

This ticket allows access to the event through the Fast Lane entrance.

Either ticket is issued as a QR code and exchanged for a wristband at the door.

This ticket will be issued as a QR code and will be sent immediately after successful payment. Please present your QR code at the entrance to redeem your wristband. Wristband colors vary by event day.

Wristband colours differing by day is consistent with a day ticket being valid for one day only, which the page also states: Valid for entry on any one day of the event.

For buying, the organiser names an official partner.

Zipevent is gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show's official online ticketing partner and will also be available onsite for tickets purchase at the event venue on event days. Please only purchase official tickets from Zipevent.

So you can buy on the day at the venue without having booked ahead. On resale, the page is explicit: If found with an unofficial (e.g.: fake) ticket, you will not be allowed entry into the event.

Conditions for children are stated as well.

• Children under 110cm — Free. Kindly ensure that your child is present with you at the registration counters. Must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• Children above 110cm — Ticket needed, must be accompanied by an adult.

3. The closing time comes in two versions on the organiser’s own site

This is the part we most want on the record today. Two pages on the same organiser’s site give the public hall a different closing time.

The entertainment area table on Dates & Opening Times reads the same for all three days:

Date / Hours (GMT 7)

Friday, 30 October — 10:00am - 8:00pm / Ticketshop opens from: 9:00am to 7:00pm Saturday, 31 October — 10:00am - 8:00pm / Ticketshop opens from: 9:00am to 7:00pm Sunday, 1 November — 10:00am - 8:00pm / Ticketshop opens from: 9:00am to 7:00pm

The ticket descriptions on Tickets read:

1-Day Pass — This ticket is valid for one-day admission from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

1-Day Fast Pass — This ticket is valid for one-day admission from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM.

Dates & Opening Times: hall closes 10:00am - 8:00pm. 22:00 JST20h

Tickets: day pass validity ends 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. 21:00 JST19h

Ticketshop closes 9:00am to 7:00pm. 21:00 JST19h

Opening (both pages agree) 9:30 for Fast Pass. 12:00 / 11:30 JST10h

The gap is one hour — 22:00 against 21:00 in Japan time.

The organiser’s pages carry no explanation of which is right. Two readings are possible.

• The hall is open until 20:00, but ticket “admission” is only valid until 19:00 — that is, no new entry after 19:00, while those already inside may stay until 20:00
• One of the two pages is out of date or wrong

We assert neither. The source text does use two different words — admission on one page and Hours on the other — and the Ticketshop also closes at 19:00, both of which fit the first reading. But Dates & Opening Times never says entry stops at 19:00, and Tickets never says you may stay until 20:00.

The practical consequence: if you set out for the NARUTO Card Game booth after 19:00 (21:00 JST), you may not get in. If you are aiming for the end of the day, being inside before 19:00 is the only course that works under either page.

Note also that whether the NARUTO Card Game booth keeps the hall’s hours is written nowhere — by the organiser or by NARUTO. What we record here stops at the hall.

4. The industry-only day began yesterday

The business area runs October 29–30, so it started yesterday. It is not a place the public can enter.

Access to the gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show business area is strictly for games industry professionals only. Members of the public are not allowed in the business area.

All registrations are vetted for eligibility, and you will need to prove your industry affiliation (e.g. business card) onsite along with your ticket.

There is an age condition too: business visitors must be at least 18 years old to be granted entry.

And the ticket type decides whether it also gets you into the public hall.

For the business visitor ticket the page adds: Please purchase your entertainment area exhibition tickets separately.

The business area hours are 10:00am – 6:00pm (registration counters 9:00am to 5:00pm) — and here the two pages do not disagree.

5. What is still unknown on the NARUTO side today

The organiser’s side is now clear, but nothing has been added on the NARUTO Card Game’s side since October 27. We re-read the official page today and it is unchanged.

• Booth number and format of the appearance (neither the organiser’s 2026 Exhibitor List and Floor Plan nor the Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia announcement linked from LEARN MORE could be read today)
• Whether tutorial sessions will run. The page is silent; it does not say they will not
• Whether the CP-001 Chakra Card is handed out. With nothing written, we do not count this as a distribution opportunity
• Whether anything is sold. Neither the Official Playmat -NARUTO vs. SASUKE- nor the Premium Card Collection vol.00 -Chakra Set- sold at other events appears on this page
• The booth’s own operating hours (whether they match the hall’s)

The only thing the official page says an attendee can receive is still the Facebook giveaway.

6. What comes next in Thailand

Bangkok gets the NARUTO Card Game twice in about three weeks — on opposite terms.

• gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 (today, October 30 – November 1, QSNCC)
  Open to the public on a 200-baht day ticket. But no tutorial session and no CP-001 are written anywhere
• BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in BANGKOK (November 21–22, The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi)
  Has a Teaching Session and the CP-001 Chakra Card as a participant gift. But applications closed on October 4, 2026 (winners announced from October 22)

So nothing in Thailand is open to apply for now, and the one place you can simply go to has no tutorial session on paper. The pre-order and lottery hub shows the same picture.

Summary

• The NARUTO Card Game’s booth number, tutorial sessions, CP-001 and merchandise are still unwritten anywhere as of today
