Osaka Expo Tops 22.21 Million Visitors, Overtakes 2005 Aichi Total

Ticket sales exceed the break-even target with entry slots largely booked through the Oct. 13 close.

Overview

  • Daily turnout has topped 200,000 since Sept. 12, including 17 straight days through Sept. 28, according to the organizer.
  • Ticket sales reached 21.86 million as of Sept. 19, clearing the 18 million threshold set for operating break-even.
  • Organizers indicate the final visitor count could land around 25 million, short of the earlier 28.20 million projection.
  • Reservations are effectively full through closing day and online ticket sales end Tuesday, leaving the 23 million sales goal uncertain.
  • Expo passes allow multiple entries, which pushes visitor totals above distinct ticket sales, and international rules bar any extension beyond six months.
