Ranked as one of Japan's top three fireworks festivals alongside Omagari in Akita Prefecture and Tsuchiura in Ibaraki Prefecture, the "Nagaoka Fireworks Festival" paints the night sky with spectacular fireworks unique to Nagaoka, such as the Sanjaku-dama (3-shaku ball) and the Phoenix fireworks for reconstruction prayers, set against the backdrop of both banks of Japan's longest river, the Shinano River. Boasting unparalleled scale and beauty, it is a representative fireworks festival of Japan, attracting many visitors from both within and outside the country every year.

Viewing seat tickets for the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival are Specified Entertainment Tickets (Specified Tickets) subject to the "Act on the Prevention of Illegal Ticket Resale." Paid transfer without the organizer's consent is prohibited, and transactions through unofficial sales sites or social media are not permitted.

The Nagaoka Fireworks Foundation has been implementing various measures to prevent illegal resale, including the introduction of all seats being assigned by name, providing an official ticket trade service, and posting awareness advertisements. However, last year saw arrests related to illegal resale, and high-priced resales through unofficial channels are still being confirmed.

Tickets listed are verified for authenticity and traded at face value, ensuring peace of mind for both sellers and buyers.
