As BTS’ 2026–2027 Arirang World Tour demand stays red-hot, outlets are publishing “how to get tickets” guides, while resale prices jump and scam warnings spread.

TL;DR

Tickets moved fast, resale is doing big numbers, and scam attempts are part of the ecosystem now. The real story is how massive the demand is, and how risky it gets when fans chase last-minute seats.

Key Details

The Hollywood Reporter published a guide focused on finding tickets after many dates sold out. Business Insider reports the tour includes 70+ stadium shows across five continents, with ARMY Membership presales running Jan. 22–23 and public sales starting Jan. 24 via primary sellers. The Guardian reports BTS’ Seoul comeback show tickets vanished almost immediately, with authorities issuing fraud warnings as scam posts circulated.

Breakdown

When major outlets start publishing step-by-step ticket “survival” coverage, it’s a signal that normal buying rules are gone. BTS demand isn’t just high — it’s system-crash high.

The safest framing is simple: if you missed primary sales, you’re entering resale territory, and resale territory attracts both legit listings and predators. Scams love urgency, and nothing creates urgency like ARMY trying to make a once-in-a-lifetime show happen.

We’re also in the part of the cycle where fans should expect randomness: production holds, added seats, or occasional extra drops can appear — but nobody should plan their whole strategy around hoping for a miracle.

What to Watch Next

Any additional official ticket drops (production holds, added seats, added dates). Enforcement moves and platform crackdowns as the tour ramps up. Whether resale prices cool in certain markets as dates get closer.

What’s your personal rule on resale, never pay above face value, or “I’ll pay if it’s the one show I need”?
