When Do Mario Timed Entry Tickets Run Out on Weekdays?
You might think tickets won’t run out on weekdays due to fewer visitors, but even on weekdays, the tickets do run out. Many international travelers come on weekdays, and many visitors arrive early in the morning.
Even if tickets are still available, sometimes only late entry tickets are left.
When Do Mario Timed Entry Tickets Run Out on Less Crowded Weekdays?
On less crowded weekdays, the park often closes earlier, so ticket distribution also ends earlier. However, since it’s a less crowded day, there are days when you can enter without a ticket in the evening.
With the start of Horror Nights, more families leave by the evening, and many guests enjoy the zombies, which delays when Nintendo World tickets run out.
- 7:30 AM – Early park opening
- 8:30 AM – Regular park opening time
- Around 7:00 PM – Free entry
- 9:30 PM – Park closes
In July 2024, many days saw ticket distribution ending between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. However, by 8:00 AM, tickets for afternoon entry were already being distributed.
The parade runs from 2:00 PM to 2:40 PM, so if you want to avoid the parade time, your entry to Nintendo World will be after 3:00 PM. Many people think the same way, so the wait times for Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Adventure tend to increase between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. It’s not recommended to go to Super Nintendo World at 3:00 PM.
Before summer vacation. The summer events have started, but it’s still not too crowded. I entered USJ after 8:00 AM, but because I was busy buying goods on their release day, I forgot to get a ticket, so I ended up getting one late.
- 7:45 AM – Early park opening
- 8:36 AM – Tickets for entry after 11:50 AM were being distributed
- 9:00 AM – Regular park opening time
- After 3:00 PM – Ticket distribution ended
- 9:00 PM – Park closes
After the major holidays ended and the off-peak season started, I took my time having lunch and ended up with only evening tickets left. While there were few Japanese visitors, there were many international travelers.

- 9:00 AM – Regular park opening time

During peak seasons like spring break, summer vacation, or Halloween Horror Nights, tickets run out faster. In August 2024, tickets ran out as early as 10:20 AM on some days and around 12:40 PM on others.
On October 24, 2023, the park was so crowded that same-day tickets sold out.

When Do Mario Timed Entry Tickets Run Out on Crowded Weekends?
On crowded weekends and public holidays, when the park closes at 10:00 PM, tickets may run out by 11:00 AM. On days when the park closes at 9:00 PM or 8:00 PM, tickets can run out by 10:00 AM.
After 9:00 AM, only tickets for late afternoon entry may be available. If you plan to leave the park around 5:00 PM with children, it’s best to arrive before 8:00 AM to secure a ticket in time.
In the mornings, it can take around 20 to 30 minutes to enter the park, so even if you arrive at 8:00 AM, you might not be able to obtain a ticket until 8:30 AM.
On a heavily crowded spring break day, I arrived at USJ around 7:10 AM, and there was already a long line at the entrance gate. It took about 25 minutes to get inside.

How to Get a Mario Timed Entry Ticket via the USJ App
You can get a Super Nintendo World timed entry ticket either through the app or in person. However, it is strongly recommended to use the app, as getting a paper ticket inside USJ can take 10 to 15 minutes, during which time the earlier time slots may run out.
The digital ticket available through the app is called an e-Ticket.
Registering Your Admission Ticket (Can Be Done in Advance)
Once you have installed the USJ app, register your admission ticket for each person in your group.

- Select “Register Admission Ticket".
- If you have saved the QR code to your phone, select “Read from Library".
- Enter a name (it can be a nickname or anything you like. If you are visiting with friends, choose names that help you distinguish between tickets).
*If you have purchased a paper admission ticket, select “Scan QR Code".
How to Get a Timed Entry Ticket (After Entering USJ)

Mario Timed Entry Ticket Tips and Tricks
If you plan to leave the park by 5:00 PM, but the only tickets left are for after 6:00 PM, here’s a trick you can use.
When timed entry tickets run out, the lottery tickets will be available. Lottery tickets also have a specified entry time, but sometimes they offer slots as early as 1 hour and 40 minutes later.
For example, if tickets run out around 11:00 AM, you may be able to get a lottery ticket for entry around 12:40 PM.
The chances of winning are low, but since there’s a chance you could get in, it’s worth trying!
