Tixplus Registration Steps
Step 0: Phone Verification Note
One of the biggest concerns for international fans is the phone verification. Good news: it works for international numbers!
Fig 0: During our test, we confirmed that you can select your own country code for phone registration! Fans from Taiwan or anywhere else can safely use their local mobile numbers.
Step 1: Visit the Registration Page
Go to the Tixplus Official Website and look for the registration entry (look for 「ログイン」 / Login or 「新規登録」 / New Registration). Enter your email address to begin.
Fig 1: Sign up on the homepage by entering your frequently used email.
Step 2: Email Verification & Password Setup
Check your inbox for a verification email.

After clicking the link, you will reach the password setting page:
Fig 3: Enter your password and confirm it. Make sure to keep it safe.
Step 3: Fill in Personal Information
Be careful with the name and address formats required by Japanese websites:
- Name (氏名): Enter your name exactly as it appears on your passport (in English).
- セイ (Last Name) / メイ (First Name): These fields require your name in Japanese Katakana (Furigana).
- Important Note: These two fields must be filled in "Full-width Katakana."
- Pro Tip: While it's standard to convert your name to Katakana, sometimes the system might reject a direct conversion.
- Recommended Approach: First, try entering your name in ALL-CAPS Romanji (English letters). If the system doesn't accept it, then use a Katakana conversion.
- Recommended Tool: If you're unsure how to convert your name to Katakana or Romaji, check out my Chinese Name to Katakana Tool. It can help you find the right characters quickly.
- Country: Select your current country of residence.
- Address: Based on our tests, you should enter your address in English. While we used a Japanese friend's address for testing, entering your own international address in English is likely supported. You can use online tools for address translation if needed.
- Phone Number: You can select your country's code (e.g., +886 for Taiwan) and enter your mobile number. No SMS verification is required at this initial stage, so you can fill it out with confidence.
Fig 4: Ensure all fields are filled out accurately, especially the name and address.
Fig 5: Final confirmation screen. Please double-check all your details.
Step 4: Final Confirmation

After logging in, when you try to view your Tickets (チケット), the app will prompt you for phone verification.
Real-world Tested Tip: Even though it's a Japanese app, our tests show that you CAN receive the SMS verification code on international mobile numbers (e.g., from Taiwan)! Once you complete this SMS verification, your app is fully ready for the resale opening on Feb 2nd.
