Recent update, since I had to change smartphones regularly which meant I can to login to many tickets apps again.
Most box office services will require SMS verification, this includes eplus which usually supplies most of Scandal's one man tour tickets and includes Mania/Premium/light tickets, you need to use same phone number as Mania as well as eplus account.
As for Pia it require you to call a voice line to verify, you have to call a 050-xxxx-xxxx number to verfiy by your caller ID, this is when you first login from a new device.
Paper tickets are still availlable for some Scandal events, it depends on what Scandal chooses to do.
e-Tickets (which all usually require internet connection when you use the ticket):
eplus have their own app usually, but the event seller might use other methods like cloak (from ticket pia) ,
moala tickets (click on URL link and display on smartphone browser, needs internet connection)
tixnet uses a code from email to input in an app
Unlike North America or Europe, Japan is not using QR codes/self printed emails for tickets.
------
So long story short for the next Scandal Best Xmas 2022 ticket, you will need a SMS verified Eplus account as well as your Mania account with the same phone number in order to enter the lottery. Without a Japanese mobile number you have to wait for General Sales to buy a ticket, EVEN though you have might have a Mania account with a fake/borrowed number.
During the recent SiM x Scandal live, you had to use SiM's app to acquire and use the e-ticket.

Update, I changed my smartphone, so to use the Best Xmas FanClub tickets, you need a Japanese ticket app and to verify with a Japanese mobile number as well to login. There is also a twice a month limit if you login to a different phone. So yes lots of hoops to jump through.

Update, I also changed my other smartphone I noticed this time when I logged it, the tixplus e-ticket app that Scandal uses for FC Best Xmas ticket, the app only allowed 3 new logins per month (assume to stop scalpers lending out their e-ticket accounts). But be warn for Best Xmas tickets there is ID name check for everyone, I asume the same this year.
For Best Xmas for e-plus issued GA tickets, these GA e-tickets was using the e-plus app.
