HYBE recently announced BTS‘s highly-anticipated BTS World Tour that will begin in April 2026.
However, the ticket prices are quickly gaining attention for all the wrong reasons.
For their opening concerts in Goyang, South Korea, the prices are listed as follows: Soundcheck is 264K KRW (~$180 USD), General R is 220K KRW (~$150 USD), and General S is 198K KRW (~$135 USD).
Japan’s ticket prices are listed as follows: VIP is 45K Yen (~$285 USD), SS Seats are 35K Yen (~$220 USD), and S Seats are 25K Yen (~$160 USD).
The post quickly received hundreds of angry comments from netizens for the absurd prices.
- “Wow, concert ticket prices are really going to skyrocket now.”
- “That’s seriously lacking basic business ethics—what is this?”
- “Wow, that’s way too expensiveㅠㅠ But it’ll still sell out, right?ㅠㅠ”
- “Looks like they’ve completely lost their conscience.”
- “It’s expensive, but since it’s a 360-degree stage, I’m kind of excited—feels like the production will be huge.”
- “Wow… this is excessive.”
- “Isn’t this bad even for fans??? It’s insanely expensive…”
- “It’s wild that people are defending this… wouldn’t it be good if prices went down? Why are people saying not to blame HYBE? Genuinely confused.”
