Watching the Hawks at Mizuho PayPay Dome: How to Buy Tickets, Price Ranks and Cheering Area Rules (2026)

Highlight: Shoji’s go-ahead RBI triple, Sunday, September 20, vs the Rakuten Eagles (Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks official, @SBHawksOfficial)

At Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka (Jigyohama, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka), the home of the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, the price of a ticket depends on the type of seat, the price rank of each game, when you buy and whether you are a member. In the 2026 lottery sales (tax included), the Hawks Cheering Reserved Seats and Outfield Reserved Seats were ¥1,900 for Silver-rank games and ¥2,600 for Gold-rank games. From the first-come sales onward, prices change with demand, so for 2027 check the price shown when tickets go on sale. Children up to 3 years old need no ticket if they sit on a lap, and tickets are required from age 4.

2. How to buy Hawks tickets: from the member lottery pre-sale to general sale

Tickets go on sale in this order: a staged lottery pre-sale for Club Hawks and Taka Point members, a first-come pre-sale, then a general sale. The official ticket site is Taka Ticket. You can also buy at other ticket agencies, but the seat types they sell differ by agency. You can also ask to be told the sale dates by email.

Advance and day-of tickets from the first-come sales onward use dynamic pricing, so you pay the price shown when you buy. Day-of tickets are not sold for games where advance tickets sold out. Club Hawks members get 10% off the general price, and 20% off for designated games (such as Silver-rank games).

3. Choosing a seat at Mizuho PayPay Dome and the price ranks

There are many seat types: the Coca-Cola Seats close to the field, the Premium Seats in the infield, sofa and box seats, the Home Run Terrace in the outfield, and the Victory Wing on the upper levels. The official seat guide lets you compare the view from each seat. Each game is assigned a rank such as “Silver”, “Gold”, “Platinum” or “Super Platinum”, and the same seat costs a different amount by rank. In 2026, the Silver-rank lottery price for Coca-Cola Seat A was ¥15,000.

You can also choose a seat by how you want to cheer. In the Hawks cheering area in the right stand you cannot cheer for any team other than the Hawks, and in the visitor cheering area in the left stand you cannot bring Hawks cheering goods. In the outfield, the cheering squad leads the cheering with instruments, and only the Hawks Cheering Reserved Seats, Visitor Cheering Reserved Seats and Outfield Reserved Seats allow you to stand and cheer while the pitcher is throwing.

4. The dome roof, and the rules for bringing things in and re-entering

The dome has a retractable roof and is an all-weather stadium, so games are played in the rain. The roof opens or closes in about 20 minutes, and a few times a year there is a “Roof Open Day”, when the game is played with the roof open on days that meet conditions such as a 30% or lower chance of rain. From November 1, 2026 the capacity is 40,029.

Bottles, cans, dangerous items and food and drink cannot be brought in, but you can bring 1 PET bottle or paper carton of up to 1 L per person, and a flask or tumbler of up to 2 L (no alcohol). Candy and gum are allowed. Tell the staff at the baggage check if you have allergy-friendly food or baby food. You can leave temporarily from any gate and re-enter from Gates 2, 4, 6 and 8, and you need the re-entry ticket you receive when you leave.

5. Getting to Mizuho PayPay Dome: about 15 minutes on foot from Tojinmachi Station

It is about a 15-minute walk from Exit 3 of Tojinmachi Station on the subway Airport Line. On game days, direct extra buses run from Tenjin Highway Bus Terminal and Hakata Bus Terminal (stops 6 and 7). The parking lot has about 1,700 spaces, but the club recommends public transport, and it sells a limited number of parking reservation tickets that let you park whatever time you arrive.
