BTS’s “Low” Concert Ticket Sales Spark Unexpected Backlash
Recently, BTS announced their long-awaited world tour and comeback.
The group’s world tour was announced, and many were surprised by the number of stops and different locations they will be visiting. There was also a promise of more dates in the future, likely for markets not covered in the initial announcement.
On January 22, pre-sales began in many locations around the world, and many places have already sold out, prompting more dates to be added.

However, some cities in the United States have seen less sales than expected. The dates for El Paso, Texas, and Foxborough, Massachusetts still have many tickets available left in the pre-sale, many more than other locations with tickets remaining for general sales.
These amounts of tickets left have sparked reactions from fans, some of which have been negative. Many expressed anger, not that tickets had not sold out, but rather the lack of dates elsehwere that they believe would have sold out faster.

There are still so many seats but stupid Americans chose to go to Toronto when it’s the only stop for the whole country. I cannot stand y’all. https://t.co/JTdrBOkBXG

Still, BTS have plans for adding more dates, so hopefully, those desiring tickets to another locations are able to get dates hoped for.
