Important Points on VERSE JUMPER Registration

Note｜This tier can only be registered during pre-registration, and is limited to 50 people. In order to register as a VERSE JUMPER, you will need to apply for the VERSE JUMPER participation tier lottery.

VERSE JUMPER Participation Tier Lottery Application

The application for the VERSE JUMPER participation tier lottery will be open from 21:00 on September 21st (Sat.), 2024, to September 28th (Sat.), 2024, 23:59 (JST).

For those who wish to apply for the VERSE JUMPER participation tier lottery, please carry out the below steps on the pre-registration form.

• Please select one participation tier from MEMBER (All Days), SPONSOR, or SUPERSPONSOR. You will temporarily be registered as this participation tier.
• Please check the checkbox that says “Apply for the VERSE JUMPER Participation Tier”.

At the time of registration, your selected participation tier’s fee (along with the fees of any selected options) will be withdrawn from the credit card. After your registration has been confirmed, a guidance email will be sent that will discuss how to pay the difference in your registered tier’s participation fee and that of the VERSE JUMPER participation fee.

From October 2nd (Wed.), to October 4th (Fri.) 2024, we will ask you to do authorization hold procedures for payment of the difference between the participation tier you already paid for and the VERSE JUMPER participation. The actual payment of this difference will only be carried out for those selected in the lottery (or, in the case where max capacity was not reached, all who applied for the VERSE JUMPER tier), and will be withdrawn from the provided credit card between October 6th (Sun.) and October 7th (Mon.), 2024.

Note: Please confirm ahead of time that there is enough of an available limit for the credit card being used. If the authorization hold mentioned above was not successfully granted, you will not be eligible to be included in the lottery.

Note: If the above authorization hold procedures are not carried out, you will not be eligible to be included in the lottery.

Note: If you were not selected in the lottery, the authorization hold will be automatically removed at a later date. Note that the removal date will be different depending on the credit card used.

VERSE JUMPER Participation Tier Lottery

(October 4th (Fri.), 2024, update) If the number of applicants exceeds capacity, a lottery will be held after 18:00 on October 5th (Sat.), 2024 (JST). The lottery will be live-streamed on our JMoF Official YouTube Channel.

• If you were selected, you will be registered as the VERSE JUMPER participation tier. Please note in advance that if selected, registration for this tier cannot be changed into another tier or cancelled.
• If you were not selected, then you will be registered as whatever participation tier you decided on during pre-registration.

Note: If max capacity of the number of applicants is not reached, at the end of the day on October 4th (Fri.), 2024, the above section regarding “if you were selected” in the lottery will be automatically applied.
