BTS just unveiled a huge, yet very much welcome surprise for ARMYs. The group will be holding four concerts at LA’s brand new SoFi stadium on November 27-28, and on December 1-2!
“PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA” will mark the first time BTS performs in front of ARMYs since 2019. Are you struggling to contain your excitement? (If so, same.) Check out the announcement video from the guys below!
Now, let’s get to the super important stuff!
Tickets for ALL dates will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, October 9 at 3PM PT via Ticketmaster.com. As you can imagine, these will be the hottest tickets in town… or better yet, in the world! There will be several opportunities to score presale access to the show of your choice, so let me break it down for you below.
PREVIOUS PURCHASERS PRESALE
If you purchased tickets to the BTS MAP OF THE SOUL TOUR – NORTH AMERICA via Ticketmaster in 2020, you’ll have the very first access to presale tickets. If you are eligible for these presales, you’ll be contacted via email by Ticketmaster and provided with a unique presale code to use.
Prior VIP ticket purchasers will be able to purchase presale tickets to the show of their choice starting on October 5 at 3PM PT. Prior non-VIP ticket purchasers will have presale access starting on October 6th at 3PM PT.
GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE
ARMYs who are members of the BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB on Weverse will have access to presale tickets starting on October 7 at 3PM PT. Please note that the store you hold membership for on Weverse (USA or Global) does not matter. As long as you’re a membership holder, you may apply for presale access for the show of your choice!
In order to gain access to the fanclub membership presale, you MUST first apply for presale access through the Weverse app. View the Weverse notification here for specific directions on how to apply. Once you’re done, you will then click here to sign up for the Ticketmaster Verified Fan presale.
Registration closes at 6PM PT on Saturday, October 2. If you’re not an ARMY membership holder on Weverse, it’s not too late to purchase your membership! Download the Weverse Shop app now and become a member.
GENERAL VERIFIED FAN PRESALE
There will also be a General Verified Fan presale on Friday, October 8 at 3PM PT. Registration for this presale is completely free – no membership required! Click here to sign up before Saturday, October 2 at 6PM PT.
What is Ticketmaster Verified Fan, anyways?
Don’t you just HATE scalpers? I know I do. Thankfully, the Ticketmaster Verified Fan program ensures that tickets get in the hands of real fans – not bots! (And no, you still can’t call us bots.) After registering for Verified Fan presales for any artist, Ticketmaster will send you an email with further details on what to expect next. If you are selected to participate in the Verified Fan presale, your unique presale code will be sent to you via text message.
Please note that demand will exceed spots for the Verified Fan presales, so signing up does NOT guarantee you will receive a code.

Hi, 2 questions
1. I have global membership, will I be able to choose stage seating if availabe?
2. If I can’t get for the day I register for, can I try for another date or do I have to wait for public sales to try other dates?

Hi! If you have the membership and receive a code for the presale, you can choose any available seats. If you don’t get any presale codes, you’ll need to wait until the general sale to purchase tickets.
Hi Plnkwifi, Hope you are well? I have a question regarding the C4WC seating. I read a lot of people bought ADA seating because, during sales, the system tossed them out. My non- ada friend actually got 1. Would She encounter a problem trying to sit there and are they actually seats or just an area for wheelchair placement? I am disabled and most likely will use the ticket, however, I have no need for a wheelchair. I cannot find any photo of how the seating area looks in real life. I appreciate any insight you can give. I also hear there is a shuttle that picks up in the various parking lots and drops you off outside of the stadium? Thamk you.

Hey there! So those seats are basically fold-up chairs on an elevated platform in the back of the floor. For some events, the chairs are already set up, for others there’s markings on the ground and the usher up there will bring the chair out once the guest arrives. However, it’s of course against the law for them to ask someone what their disability is. I hope this answers that question! 😉
Also, there will indeed be a paid shuttle service from different lots in the city! The company is called ipark & go. There’s also other armys coordinating Rally Busses (charter busses) from different hotels, but the ones I’ve seen are planning on dropping off wayyy too early for me 😂
