- Tickets for KCON LA 2025 are being sold as single day ONLY. There are no 3 day passes unlike previous years. Choose which days you want to be part of the fun!
- You have the option of purchasing M Countdown (concert admission) only. These tickets will NOT grant access to the rest of the convention.

- Festival Grounds tickets can be purchased on their own as well, but will ONLY offer access to the festival grounds.
M COUNTDOWN STAGE SEATING CHART
Prices for tickets that include access to the M Countdown stage will vary based on seat location. P4 will include the lowest pricing, while P1 GA Floor will include the highest pricing.
(To throw in a personal anecdote, when I attended KCON LA in 2023, I sat in the front row of a section that is now regarded as P2. I had an excellent view!)
Here’s an easy to understand breakdown of the KCON LA ticket offerings!
1 DAY PREMIUM: Grants you access to the GA FLOOR at M Countdown (aka the concert portion), the Festival Grounds in the LA Convention Center’s West Hall, and the Artist Stage in the South Hall.
1 DAY PLUS: Grants you a SEATED ticket in a P1 zone for the M Countdown portion, as well as access to the festival grounds and the artist stage. You will have a dedicated area to view the artist stage from the front of the crowd. You will also get access to red carpet viewing prior to M Countdown each day.
1 DAY TICKETS: 1 Day convention tickets get you access to M Countdown in either P1, P2, or P3. You will have access to the festival grounds and artist stage.
M COUNTDOWN ONLY TICKETS: For those who wish to only enjoy the action at M Countdown, tickets for ONLY M Countdown viewing will be available in P1, P2, P3, or P4, for a single day.
FESTIVAL GROUNDS: Grants you access to the Festival Grounds in the LA Convention Center’s West Hall for a single day. This is the “traditional KCON experience” with booths, activations, and more. Purchasing a Festival Grounds only ticket will do just that – only grant you access to the Festival Grounds!
FESTIVAL GROUNDS PREMIUM and FESTIVAL GROUNDS PREMIUM 4 PACK: These tickets will grant you access to the Festival Grounds AND the Artist Stage in the south hall for a single day.
FESTIVAL GROUNDS HAPPY HOUR: On a time crunch but still want to get a great KCON experience in? Festival Grounds Happy Hour tickets will grant you entry into the Festival Grounds after 4PM.
M&G: Grants you access to just the M&G stage outside the LA Convention Center. You’ll be able to watch your selected artist’s M&G, then participate in the send off after the program.
M&G PREMIUM: Grants you access to just the M&G stage outside the LA Convention Center. You’ll be able to watch your selected artist’s M&G, then participate in the hi-wave on stage after the program has ended.
As a reminder, the M&G stage is “it’s own thing” this year. M&G tickets do NOT grant access to the rest of KCON, and the other ticket types don’t grant access to M&G stage viewing.
