チケット戦争 (chiketto sensō, 'ticket war') is the Japanese phrase for the fierce competition among fans to get tickets for popular concerts and stage shows, through fan club lotteries, general sales and resale. It is a common part of 推し活 (supporting a favourite). The related word チケット争奪戦 stresses the scramble at the moment sales open.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"「ツアーのチケット戦争、また全落ちした……。」 (Another ticket war for the tour, and every application lost.)"

LORE & ORIGIN

Impress Watch (14 September 2026) covers TICKET WARS, a web game by the creator 常春 that simulates the rush and server congestion of a ticket sale. No coiner is documented.
