TOKYO \/ LOS ANGELES<\/strong> \u2014 AXS, the trusted leader in advanced ticketing and live event technology, today announced the establishment of AXS Tickets, a new joint venture with Lawson Entertainment, one of Japan\u2019s leading entertainment and ticketing companies, marking a major expansion of AXS\u2019s business in Japan.<\/p>\n This partnership builds on AXS\u2019s successful presence in Japan, combining AXS\u2019s world-class technology and global expertise with Lawson Entertainment\u2019s (Lawson Tickets\u2019) deep industry relationships and highly recognized consumer brand. Together, they aim to expand access to live entertainment and sports across Japan.<\/p>\n Since its launch in 2018, AXS Japan has powered ticketing for thousands of events and sold tens of millions of tickets for some of the country\u2019s fastest-growing sports leagues, professional teams, and major event organizers. The creation of AXS Tickets strengthens that foundation \u2014 enabling AXS and Lawson Entertainment to deliver a new level of innovation and scale for artists, promoters, venues, and fans nationwide.<\/p>\n Lawson Entertainment operates one of Japan\u2019s largest ticketing businesses, supported by an extensive retail and digital presence and long-standing relationships with sports leagues, teams, promoters, festivals, and venues.

Lawson Entertainment (Lawson Tickets) plays a central role in Japan\u2019s entertainment ecosystem, spanning sports, live entertainment, theater, art exhibitions, cinemas, livestreaming, classical music and opera, fan club management, and travel. AXS brings to the table advanced platform capabilities such as ID-based ticketing, reliable mobile solutions, dynamic pricing, and data-driven insights \u2014 all designed to create safer, more flexible, and more personalized experiences for fans and clients alike.<\/p>\n Ticket sales locations (via AXS\u2019s website or joint venture channels) and in-store purchasing details will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n The establishment of AXS Tickets in Japan represents a natural evolution of AXS\u2019s existing presence in the market, allowing both brands to better meet the increasingly complex and diverse needs of clients and fans.<\/p>\n \u201cJapan\u2019s live entertainment market is evolving rapidly, and we\u2019re thrilled to help shape its future,\u201d said Motoki Ishikawa, Managing Director of AXS Japan. \u201cBy bringing together Lawson Entertainment\u2019s deep regional connections and AXS\u2019s global technology and know-how, AXS Tickets is creating a more seamless, connected, and innovative ticketing experience for fans and clients across Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAt Lawson Entertainment, our mission has always been to connect fans with the artists, teams, and experiences they love,\u201d said Dai Sakai, Executive Officer of Lawson Entertainment. \u201cPartnering with AXS allows us to build on our trusted brand and deep local history by combining it with AXS\u2019s international network and innovative approach.
