The club says unauthorized resale increased after the August announcement of Akira Nakamura\u2019s retirement ceremony date. It has also received reports of people paying through social media without receiving tickets. Resale is prohibited outside the club\u2019s official service, and fans with unofficially purchased tickets may be refused entry. The Hawks say sellers may be barred from future ticket purchases or reported to police. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2026091032005\" target=\"_blank\">TNC News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softbankhawks.co.jp\/news\/detail\/202601086744.html\" target=\"_blank\">Softbank Hawks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_hawks-ticket-resale-in-mercari_2026_cl.png?resize=1458%2C904&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1458\" height=\"904\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_hawks-ticket-resale-in-mercari_2026_cl.png?w=1458&amp;ssl=1 1458w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_hawks-ticket-resale-in-mercari_2026_cl.png?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_hawks-ticket-resale-in-mercari_2026_cl.png?resize=1024%2C635&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_hawks-ticket-resale-in-mercari_2026_cl.png?resize=768%2C476&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: Mercari<\/p>\n<p>Get Fukuoka and Kyushu\u2019s top stories delivered to your inbox.
