We are pleased to announce a new "Effective Purchase Fee of 0 Yen" as part of the benefits for ZAIKO Premium members.

A few days ago, we conducted a user poll on ZAIKO's official Twitter account (https://twitter.com/zaikoio) regarding the "benefits that would be nice to have when purchasing paid streaming tickets." The newly added benefits for ZAIKO Premium members are a result of that survey, bringing the voices of users to life.

To utilize the "Effective Purchase Fee of 0 Yen" benefit that we have now started offering, users must apply the Z points granted on the purchase page during checkout themselves. For ZAIKO Premium members, as a benefit, the Z points equivalent to the ticket purchasing fee will be granted each time tickets are purchased, which can be used immediately. By using those Z points at the time of payment, the purchase fee effectively becomes 0 yen. ZAIKO Premium will continue to expand the benefits that allow users to enjoy live entertainment more freely and affordably.

ZAIKO will continue to develop multi-faceted services focused on digital platforms, prioritizing artists and event organizers, and lead the new normal in the live entertainment industry.

■ How to purchase tickets with no purchase fee
If you proceed to the purchase page for the tickets you wish to buy, it will display, "As a ZAIKO Premium member benefit, you have been granted Z points worth ¥◯◯◯ for the purchase fee." Points that can be used immediately will be granted.

1. Click the checkbox that says "Use Z points," enter the granted Z points, and press "Apply."

2. Confirm that the use of Z points is reflected in the "Application Details," and that the discount for the purchase fee has been applied.

3. Enter the credit card information to be used for payment in the "Payment Method" and click "Confirm Order" to proceed to the purchase confirmation.

※ The Z points equivalent to the purchase fee will be granted each time you make a purchase.
※ If you do not use Z points for the purchase fee, you can buy without checking "Use Z points." In that case, the granted Z points can be used for future purchases.
※ The validity period of Z points is six months from the date of grant.
※ If you purchase using Z points, payment is only available via credit card.
