This installation promises to capture the essence of the event, embodying the excitement and anticipation around the intersection of virtual and physical spaces. Attendees are encouraged to snap photos and share them on social media using the hashtag #VketRealきたぞ!

Two Zones to Explore: Free and Ticketed

VketReal 2025 Summer is designed with a two-zone structure: the Free Zone on the first floor, where visitors can casually explore various booths, and the Ticket Zone located in the basement, exclusive to ticket holders.

Tickets are priced at ¥2,000 (tax included) for a 1DAY ticket and ¥4,000 (tax included) for a 2DAYS ticket purchased in advance. On the event days, 1DAY tickets are available at ¥2,500.
