The wait is over: BTS are back, and their upcoming reunion tour will be their biggest outing yet. After completing their mandatory military service and spending four years away from the stage as a full group, the K-Pop superstars announced their 2026-2027 world tour spanning 79 shows across 34 regions. The ARMY Membership presale has wrapped up, and as expected, tickets flew off the virtual shelves in minutes. With the general on-sale launching on Saturday, January 24th, and most shows selling out immediately, fans who missed the on-sale window are scrambling to find a way in.
But don’t panic just yet. While tickets are scarce, there are still legitimate ways to secure your spot at what’s shaping up to be the biggest tour of the year. Here’s everything you need to know about getting tickets, what to expect price-wise, and more details about seeing BTS in 2026-2027.
Where Can You Still Get BTS Tickets?
StubHub
StubHub is your safest option for resale tickets. Every purchase is backed by StubHub’s FanProtect guarantee, meaning if something goes wrong with your order, you’re covered 120%. Prices on secondary markets fluctuate based on demand, so expect to pay a premium – but you’ll have peace of mind knowing your tickets are legitimate. Look for tickets here.
Ticketmaster Resale
Ticketmaster also has a resale platform where fans who can no longer attend can relist their tickets. This is another secure option, as Ticketmaster verifies all resale tickets. Keep checking back regularly – tickets pop up as plans change, payments fail, or fans decide they can’t make it. Head here for more info.

What to Expect: Pricing Reality Check
This isn’t just any concert – this is BTS’ first full group tour in nearly five years, following a four-year hiatus while members completed their military service. The demand is unlike anything we’ve seen in recent memory, and prices reflect that reality.
Early data from resale platforms shows tickets starting around $1,000 for the most affordable seats, with the median asking price hovering around $2,400. Premium floor seats and VIP packages are running significantly higher, with some listings in the $3,000-$5,000+ range depending on the city and venue.
For context, BTS’ last major tour sold out stadiums in minutes. Their 2021 shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles grossed $33.3 million from 214,000 tickets and set multiple records. This tour is even bigger.
Here’s what influences pricing on the secondary market:
Venue and Location – Major markets like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas tend to have higher prices due to demand and limited show dates.
Seat Location – The 360-degree in-the-round stage design means every seat has a view, but floor and lower bowl sections command premium prices.
Show Date – Opening and closing nights in each city often see higher demand and pricing.
Time Until Show – Prices can drop as the show date approaches if sellers are motivated, but don’t bank on it for a tour this massive.
One crucial thing to remember: when you see a ticket price listed, that’s not your final cost. Most ticketing platforms add service fees, processing fees, and delivery charges that can tack on 20-40% to the listed price. A $500 ticket can easily become $650-$700 after all fees are calculated.
Tips for Securing Tickets (Even When It Seems Impossible)
Getting tickets to a sold-out BTS show requires strategy, patience, and a bit of luck. Here are the most effective approaches:
1. Keep Checking Back
This is the most important tip. Don’t assume “sold out” means gone forever. Check Ticketmaster and StubHub multiple times a day, especially in the hours and days following the general on-sale. Payment issues, cancelled orders, and returned tickets create new inventory constantly. Some fans report finding tickets days or even weeks after the initial sell-out.
2. Be Flexible with Dates and Cities
BTS is playing multiple nights in most cities. If your first-choice date is out of reach, consider a different night in the same city or even traveling to a nearby market. Los Angeles has four shows. New York (East Rutherford) has two. Las Vegas has three. More options mean better chances.
3. Set Price Alerts
Most secondary market platforms let you set alerts for specific price ranges or seat sections. Use them. Prices fluctuate, and you want to know immediately when something in your budget becomes available.
4. Join Multiple Queues
If you’re trying for the general on-sale, coordinate with friends or family. Have multiple people in different locations try to access tickets simultaneously on different devices. More attempts mean better odds.
5. Verify Everything
Only purchase from established, verified platforms like StubHub or Ticketmaster. Never buy tickets from social media posts, random websites, or individuals sending you screenshots. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Scammers target high-demand events like this, and losing hundreds or thousands of dollars to fraud is not worth the risk.
Avoiding Scams: How to Protect Yourself
With tickets this in-demand, scammers are everywhere. Here’s how to stay safe:
Never buy from social media. If someone messages you on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok claiming to have tickets for sale, assume it’s a scam. Even if the account looks legitimate, it could be hacked or faked.
Never accept screenshots as proof. Screenshots of tickets mean nothing – they can be photoshopped or sold to multiple people. You need actual, transferable tickets through an official platform.
Never send money via Venmo, Cash App, or wire transfer. Legitimate ticket transactions happen through platforms with buyer protection. If someone asks you to pay through a peer-to-peer app, it’s a scam.
Stick to verified platforms. StubHub and Ticketmaster both have buyer protection policies. If something goes wrong, you have recourse. If you’re buying from an individual, use a platform like StubHub that holds the payment until the tickets are transferred.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Floor seats selling for $200 when everywhere else they’re $2,000? That’s not a deal. That’s a scam.

About the Tour
This tour marks BTS’ first extensive concert run since 2019 and their first full group performances since the 2021-2022 Permission to Dance shows. All seven members – RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook – are back together after completing South Korea’s mandatory military service, and they’re bringing new music with them. Their comeback album ARIRANG drops March 20th, 2026, giving fans fresh material to scream along to at the shows.
The tour is historic in scale and scope. The 360-degree in-the-round stage design is a first for a K-pop stadium tour, allowing for increased capacity and better sightlines regardless of where you’re sitting. BTS will also be performing in venues they’ve never played before, including their first shows in Madrid, Brussels, El Paso, and several other cities.
