BTS recently announced a massive 2026-2027 world tour, now dubbed as the ‘ARIRANG WORLD TOUR.’ With 79 global dates, this tour is set to be the largest K-Pop tour of all time, and BTS’ largest tour of their career to date.

The ‘ARIRANG WORLD TOUR’ kicks off on Thursday, April 9 in Goyang, South Korea. The North American leg will commence on April 25, with two nights of performances at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. BTS will visit multiple cities in North America, including Toronto, East Rutherford, Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Baltimore, and more. The group will also hold several dates in Latin America, Asia, and Australia.

According to a statement made by concert promoter Live Nation, the tour will also feature a 360-degree in-the-round stage design. This will allow an increased capacity at each venue, with the stage being in the middle of the stadium floor. ARMYs in every corner of the venue will be able to feel close to the action as they enjoy this fully-immersive experience.

As one can imagine, ARMYs all over the world are rejoicing and celebrating this incredible news.

PlNKWIFI’S BTS 2026-2027 TOUR TICKETING GUIDE

My credentials: I have been an ARMY since 2018, and I have successfully purchased tickets during the ARMY MEMBERSHIP pre-sale for PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, two dates of SUGA’s “D-Day” tour in Los Angeles, and three dates of j-hope’s “HOPE ON THE STAGE” tour. Additionally, I was able to purchase VIP Soundcheck tickets for day two of SUGA’s “D-Day” tour in Los Angeles, and day two of j-hope’s “HOPE ON THE STAGE” tour in Brooklyn, NY.

TICKET SALE AND PRESALE DATES:

The ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE will be held on Thursday, January 22. Presale times will vary, depending on the show date you wish to attend. Please scroll to the bottom of this article to see a chart with tour dates listed, as well as their corresponding presale start times. Any remaining tickets will be available for the general onsale, which will be on Saturday, January 24 at the listed times on the chart.

WHERE TO BUY TICKETS:

Please visit LiveNation.com and type in “BTS” to access your city’s official ticketing link.

“BUT CHELS, I ALREADY SEE OTHER WEBSITES SELLING THE TICKETS ALREADY! WHY CAN’T I JUST BUY THEM THERE?”

Many third-party resale websites (such as Vividseats, StubHub, ViaGogo, GameTime, TicketHub, etc… basically any website that is NOT Live Nation/Ticketmaster or an official venue site you’re re-directed to from Live Nation) have tickets already listed on their sites. These are NOT official ticket listings, since no tickets have been made available to ARMY yet. These are made by professional ticket resellers who think they will be able to get their hands on these tickets, however, this is not a guarantee. That being said, please refrain from purchasing anything off these websites. You may hear some people refer to these as “speculative listings,” because they are indeed made in pure speculation.

ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE REGISTRATION

In order to access the ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE, you MUST register for the ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE by January 18th at 3PM PT / 4PM MT / 5PM CT / 6PM ET / 11PM GMT.

Registration is held via a link on the Weverse announcement. You can access the Weverse announcement here.

When you register, you will be able to select UP TO THREE (3) CITIES you wish to purchase tickets for. You will only have access to purchase tickets for these cities during the presale.

US/GLOBAL MEMBERSHIPS AND REGISTERING

If you wish to register for shows in the US, Canada, or Mexico, you will be eligible if you have an active GLOBAL or US MEMBERSHIP. If your membership is on the verge of expiring, let (this) be your reminder to renew it at once. Seriously – go renew your membership now, then come back to read the rest of this guide!

HOWEVER, if you hold both a US and GLOBAL membership, and you wish to purchase tickets for a US date, only your US MEMBERSHIP will be processed. Example: (I) personally hold both a US and GLOBAL membership. I wish to register for presale for Los Angeles, East Rutherford, and San Antonio. Therefore, BIGHIT will only process my US membership.

TICKETMASTER ACCOUNTS BEING TIED TO WEVERSE ACCOUNTS

In order to access the presale, you must ALSO have a Ticketmaster account that uses the same email address that your Weverse account uses. Behind the scenes, both email accounts will be automatically paired to one another. There are NO additional steps you must take on your end for the “pairing” to happen – Ticketmaster and BIGHIT will do this for us.

If you don’t have a Ticketmaster account that uses the same email address as the one you use for Weverse, it would be a great idea to make one ASAP. The deadline to make sure your Ticketmaster and Weverse accounts share the same email address is January 18 at 3PM PT / 6PM ET / 11PM GMT, which is also when presale registration closes on Weverse.

Confirmation of above information can be found via this official Ticketmaster Instagram post

YOUR PRESALE CODE

Your presale code will be your VALID BTS ARMY MEMBERSHIP ID NUMBER. You will NOT receive an additional code for the presale via text or email. Be sure to copy paste your membership number into your notes app so you can have it ready to go when you are prompted to enter a presale code.

MY PERSONAL TIPS BEFORE YOU ENTER THE QUEUE

  • As mentioned above, please be sure to have your ARMY MEMBERSHIP NUMBER ready to go in your notes app.
  • You will only be able to have one tab open per city. Please also keep in mind that Ticketmaster also makes you stick to one device per show, per account. That being said, plan accordingly! If you have more than one Ticketmaster account, you will need more than one Weverse account in order to access the ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE. Be sure to get everything registered by the deadline.
  • While having a fast internet speed can help make the process smoother, your assigned queue position is random.

MY MOST IMPORTANT TIP

Ticketing can be a very stressful experience for many, including myself. This is a tour that means a whole lot to a lot of people, rightfully so. It’s okay to feel nervous or even feel a massive wave of anxiety prior to the presale. Please make sure you’ve eaten a good meal prior to ticketing, and you are ready to practice something that alleviates stress. For you, this may look like doing box breathing, drinking water, playing music, talking to someone while letting the time pass, etc. Please be kind to yourself, no matter the outcome of ticketing.

Please refer to the chart below to view North American and European tour dates, as well as ARMY MEMBERSHIP Presale dates and start times. Note that there are staggered sale dates and times for each city.

Best of luck with ticketing, ARMY! 💜
