Ticket Sales: Presale & General Public

1) ARMY Membership Presale (Priority Access)

Most BTS concerts will open ticket presales for ARMY Membership holders first.
You typically need an active ARMY Membership and to register prior to the presale window.
Unlike some previous tours, you usually do not need a special presale code, your ARMY membership number suffices to enter presales.

Tips for Presale:

Register your membership early on Weverse and any official ticketing platforms (Ticketmaster).
Watch timeframes carefully, presales can run for several days before public sale.
Each ARMY member may be able to try for tickets in up to three cities (varies by region).

2) General Public Sale

After presale:

Tickets are released to the general public via platforms like Ticketmaster.
General onsale typically follows shortly after presales, often on a weekend.

Ticket Pricing & Seating Options

While official prices vary by city and venue, industry forecasts suggest average ticket prices could be significantly higher than past tours, particularly in North America, possibly around $200–$220 USD on average due to global demand. Here’s what to expect: VIP Packages / Premium Experiences – usually highest tier, Reserved Seating (SS, S, A, etc.) – varies by arena/stadium and General admission & lawn seats – if offered, these are usually the most affordable

Resale caution: Always use official resale options; avoid sketchy third-party sellers where price gouging and fake tickets are common.

Travel & Entry Requirements (Important for International ARMY)

If you’re planning to see BTS outside your home country: Visas & Travel. U.S.: Most international visitors will need an ESTA for visa-waiver countries, or a visa if required. Europe: Certain countries may require ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) entry starting soon. Always check government sites for the latest travel entry requirements for concerts abroad.

Book Early. Flights and hotels near stadiums/dates often sell out fast. Book these soon after confirming your tickets. Connectivity. International roaming or local SIM/eSIM helps you manage ticketing apps and concert day logistics.

Some ARMY members have been campaigning for fair pricing practices to avoid excessive dynamic pricing and resell markups, urging HYBE and ticketing partners to keep the process equitable. Supporting fair ticketing helps ensure access for more fans globally and reduces financial barriers.
