Why it matters
The organizers reversed paid ticketing three days after sales opened and are eating the refunds, which says the RE Series premiere is being treated as something to fill rather than something to sell.

The organizers said they discussed the plan again while preparing the project as one that takes on experimental expression, and wanted more people to experience the performance. "Midnight Mission" opens the RE Series, which reconstructs past lives. Its first installment rebuilds the February 20, 2024 show at Toyosu PIT, keeping the stage plans and LED set, with Hoshimachi's vocal audio and motion data from that performance and a band playing live.
