Your Zen advantages
Get your badge sent to your mailbox!
You receive your badge at home, in your mailbox: they are sent by mail at the end of every month (if you live in Metropolitan France). No more need to queue up to withdraw it from the Troubleshooting Desk: you can start enjoying the festival as soon as you get there. Zen badges from the same order are sent individually to your home: Attention! Be sure to include the personal addresses of each holder.

4-day access & a Zen & Zen+-dedicated line
Your Zen Badge allows you to go to Japan Expo all 4 days, using the line dedicated to Zen Badge owners, so you have less waiting and avoid the crowd.
Event skip-the-line ticket
A dedicated line keeps you from waiting at the Ichigo, Yuzu and Take stages. Forget about the stress of the lines and enjoy the cosplay shows, panels, screenings, and all the programming of the stages.
Temporary exits
Do you need to go back to your car to put your shopping in your trunk? Or to go out for a moment? You can, thanks to your Zen Badge: you can get out and back in as much as you like.
