Today, HIKKY announces the launch of ticket sales for the event’s paid area, along with details of a large-scale Akihabara-wide collaboration campaign:

VketReal × AKIBA “Join the City!” Mission — Expand Your Experience Between Virtual ⇔ Real World to Unlock Specials & Exclusive Goods!

Opening the Gates Between Real ⇔ Virtual! VketReal 2025 Winter Tickets Available Starting November 20th

Beginning Thursday, November 20, electronic tickets for entry to the paid ticket area will be available exclusively through LivePocket-Ticket-.

What’s Included in the Ticket Zones

This Winter, VketReal will feature the largest-ever number of Parareal Creator exhibitors, making it the most energetic lineup to date. Visitors can connect with creators who bridge the virtual and real worlds and discover new possibilities for the future.

Important Reminder! As a change from VketReal 2025 Summer, this event will offer electronic tickets only. In addition, to ease congestion and organize the entry line on the day of the event, we will distribute numbered entry tickets at the venue.

A “numbered entry ticket” is a small slip handed out onsite that gives you an entry number, and visitors are admitted in numerical order.

Electronic tickets do not include this number, so all visitors will need to pick up a numbered entry ticket when they arrive. For details on how to receive your numbered entry ticket and how to enter the paid area, please visit the official website, the VketReal attendee Discord, or the official X account.

VketReal 2025 Winter is partnering with 14 popular restaurants across Akihabara, launching a district-wide collaboration that lets visitors enjoy both virtual and real experiences beyond the venue itself. Through the VketReal × AKIBA Restaurant Collaboration "Join the City!" Mission, guests can explore Akihabara while discovering special menus, exclusive goods, and unique bonuses available only during the event.

At participating restaurants, visitors can receive discounts and perks by showing their VketReal paid-area wristband. Even without a wristband, guests can enjoy special collaboration dishes, limited time merchandises, and a variety of exclusive sticker and coaster designs created specifically for this campaign.

Additionally, anyone who visits two or more participating restaurants during the event period will receive a special reward sticker. To claim it, simply bring the two receipts from the restaurants you visited to the VketReal event counter.

When you visit VketReal, we invite you to take a break, enjoy a meal at one of the collaboration restaurants, and experience Vket as it expands into the real streets of Akihabara!

For more information, please visit the official website, the VketReal attendee Discord, or the official X account.

^{*Bonuses vary by restaurant. Sticker and coaster giveaways are available only while supplies last.}

^{*Dates and hours for each participating restaurant may differ.}

^{*Receipts that have been verified at the event counter will be marked.}
