-June 4th and 5th, held at 21 live music venues in central Nagoya!-

Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda; hereinafter referred to as "CCC") is pleased to announce that it has decided to introduce "T Ticket," a service that will allow T Cards provided by CCC to be used as tickets, at "SAKAE SP-RING 2016," an event to be held by ZIP-FM Co., Ltd. on Saturday, June 4th and Sunday, June 5th, 2016. In conjunction with this, advance sales will begin on "T Ticket" from 12:00 on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. This initiative marks the first time that "T Ticket" will be introduced to a live circuit music festival and a radio station-sponsored event.

"SAKAE SP-RING" began in 2006 as the Tokai region's first large-scale live circuit-style rock festival. Last year, 299 artists performed at the event, which attracted a total of approximately 14,000 people over the two days. This year marks the event's 11th year. Once you purchase a ticket, you can enter and exit any venue freely and enjoy the event at a great value, so it attracts attention every year among young people and music lovers, and has attracted more than 80,000 people in the past 10 events.

Over these two days, music lovers from the Tokai region will gather in Nagoya, visiting various clubs and live houses in Sakae, enjoying performances by their favorite artists and interacting with people who share their interests. Through "SAKAE SP-RING," ZIP-FM is proposing new ways to enjoy music and contributing to the livening up of the local community through music.

T Ticket will begin pre-sales for "SAKAE SP-RING 2016" from noon on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. If you have a T-Card, you can log in to the "SAKAE SP-RING 2016" T-Ticket purchasing site from your computer or smartphone using your Yahoo! JAPAN ID to which your T-Card number is registered, and then reserve and pay for the ticket type you want online. If you present your T-Card when exchanging your pass before the event, your T-Card will be authenticated as your ticket and ID, allowing you to enjoy "SAKAE SP-RING 2016" easily and conveniently without having to purchase a paper ticket in advance.

At SAKAE SP-RING 2016, you can enter the venue using your T Card, and there will be a special lane set up for priority exchange at the PASS exchange location for T Tickets. Customers who purchase and enter the venue using T Tickets will also receive T Points (40 points for those who purchase during advance sales, 20 points for those who purchase during general sales).
Additionally, as part of a T-Point giveaway campaign, all participants of "SAKAE SP-RING 2016" will be given T-Points upon presenting their T-Card, regardless of whether they use a T-Ticket. Details will be announced on the official website at a later date.

As more and more customers enjoy live music and events, CCC will link TSUTAYA stores, which are places to learn about music, with services that allow customers to enjoy sound and experiences, and will also allow customers to accumulate T Points, connecting lifestyles with excitement and proposing further revitalization of the music industry. We also plan to continue introducing "T Ticket" at various events held in the Tokai area.
