1. MMA2025 Basic Information

The 2025 Melon Music Awards will be held on Saturday, December 20th at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, with the red carpet set to begin at 4pm and the awards ceremony scheduled to start at 5pm. The venue, one of the largest in South Korea with a maximum capacity of approximately 20,000 people, is poised to become one of the most anticipated K-pop year-end award ceremonies.

The biggest hurdle for overseas fans is the "Melon grade." We've made the purchase qualifications clearer.

Sales Category	Requirements	Can I participate from Japan?	Points to note
First advance	Melon GOLD grade or higher	Difficult (Korean payment and identity verification required)	It is almost impossible to upgrade from Japan

U-NEXT lottery	U-NEXT membership registration	The easiest for Japanese people to participate	The odds of winning are high

4. MMA2025 Ticket Prices and Purchase Methods

🎫Ticket price: 55,000 won (approx. 6,000 yen)

Tickets are sold through Melon Ticket, and require account creation, identity verification, and payment method setup. Japanese credit cards may or may not be accepted, so a Korean-issued card is recommended to avoid errors. Korean phone number verification may also be required, so for overseas users, the "Viewing Tour" or "U-NEXT Lottery" are more practical options.

5. MMA 2025 odds prediction

Gocheok Sky Dome has a capacity of approximately 20,000 people, but there are several million Melon members, so it is estimated that the competition will be 30 to 50 times or more. In particular, there is a high possibility that the second advance sale will sell out within minutes due to the high volume of access.

6. Performing artists (as of November 14th)

2025 will see an even larger lineup of spectacular artists than 2024, including RIIZE, IVE, BOYNEXTDOOR, PLAVE, ILLIT, KiiiKiii, Hearts2Hearts, ALLDAY PROJECT, IDID, NCT WISH, G-DRAGON, ZICO, 10CM, Park Jaebeom, HANRORO, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, EXO, and WOODZ.

7. How to participate from Japan

For those attending from Japan, purchasing tickets directly through Melon Ticket can be difficult due to issues with identity verification and payment, so many fans choose to use a viewing tour. The venue, Gocheok Sky Dome, is easily accessible, just a five-minute walk from Guil Station on Subway Line 1, and early reservations are essential as December is peak season. While there are many hotels near the venue, they tend to fill up around the time of the awards ceremony, so it's best to secure your place early. Also, to avoid issues with displaying QR tickets and the Melon app, it's a good idea to bring an eSIM or pocket Wi-Fi to ensure a stable connection.

8. Distribution information (U-NEXT)

U-NEXT will be broadcasting exclusively this year as well, making it the only way to officially watch from Japan. The red carpet will be streamed from 4 p.m. and the awards ceremony from 5 p.m., and catch-up streaming will be available until February 5, 2026.

9. MMA2025 FAQ

Q1. Can I buy it even if I'm not a member of the fan club?
A. Paid membership to Melon is required, so don't expect it to be available for general sale.

Q2. Can Japanese people also participate in Melon's advance sale?
A. Second advance is possible, but there is a certification barrier.

Q3. Can I enter with a resold ticket?
A. Melon has strict identity verification procedures, so it is highly likely that you will not be able to enter with an unauthorized ticket.

10. Summary

Tickets for MMA2025 are primarily available to Melon members on a pre-sale basis, with almost no chance of general sale, and the odds of winning are extremely high, at 30 to 50 times higher. If you want to be sure to attend from Japan, the most realistic options are to use a viewing tour or enter the U-NEXT lottery. It's also important to book your flight and hotel early and prepare your internet connection. It's important to keep track of the schedule based on the table in this article, and keep an eye on the official Melon Ticket website and the performers' social media accounts for the latest information.
