BTS World Tour tickets are already gone through the original North American presale and general sale, according to Rolling Stone, but fans still have resale options as the group’s Arirang tour returns to the continent on Aug. 1.
The next run begins with two shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey, before BTS heads to Foxborough, Baltimore, Arlington, Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles. After that, the tour is scheduled to continue through South America, Asia and Australia.
Rolling Stone reported that BTS ARMY members had first access to presale tickets before the general sale opened Jan. 24 through Ticketmaster. As of the outlet’s July 27 ticket guide, North American presale and general-sale tickets were sold out.
Where can you buy BTS World Tour tickets?
Rolling Stone listed Ticketmaster as the original sales platform and said fans may still want to check it for official resale or newly added dates. The outlet said resale listings were also available through StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, Gametime and TicketNetwork.
In this case, resale means tickets being offered after the initial sale window through secondary ticket platforms. Rolling Stone reported that prices vary widely by city and seat, with listings running from about $70 to thousands of dollars.
For the New Jersey shows, Rolling Stone said StubHub listings were starting at around $200, while SeatGeek seats were starting just above $200. The outlet also listed Vivid Seats code RS30 for $30 off orders of $300 or more, and TicketNetwork codes RS150 and RS300 for larger qualifying orders.
How much are BTS World Tour tickets?
Rolling Stone reported that resale prices for Arirang dates range from about $70 to the thousands, depending on the market. The outlet also said all North American, European and U.K. Arirang shows sold out within days of tickets going on sale.
The demand is spilling beyond the stadium gates. CNBC reported that hotel searches in tour-stop cities rose by up to 6,700%, according to Rolling Stone’s summary of the travel surge.
The tour marks BTS’s return after a nearly four-year break while Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook completed mandatory military service in South Korea, Rolling Stone reported. The group released Arirang in March.
BTS opened the tour at Goyang Stadium near Seoul, where Rolling Stone reported 40,000 fans watched through heavy rain as the group played songs including “Fire,” “Mic Drop,” “Run” and “Swim.” The band also performed a free comeback concert on March 21 at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.
Before Arirang, Rolling Stone said BTS’s most recent performances together were the 2021 and 2022 Permission to Dance on Stage shows, which included COVID-19 restrictions. Their previous full tour was Love Yourself, which ran from 2018 to 2019.
