Translation guide
In Japanese, expressing that something is sold out depends on whether you're talking about tickets, products, seats, or availability in general. The most common expressions use the verb 売り切れる (to be sold out) or the noun 売り切れ (sellout). For tickets and seats, 完売 (sold out) is standard. In casual conversation, you can simply say もうない (there's no more).
