Four cities are now open at the same time: Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. No capacity figure was added, and the zero-width space we flagged on September 13 is still breaking one of the page's links. The admission ticket is series/8499, making a sixth city where the ticket ID is exactly one above the NARUTO session's.

Checking all seven Asian cities on September 13, 2026, every one of them states that the event is open only to people selected in the lottery, and that same-day registration or entry is not available. The same pages also set out ID checks at reception, a ban on transferring or proxying participation rights, and a second application route — an "Admission ticket" — alongside the per-title events. Here is that primary-source material, quoted in full.
