If you thought Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was big, BTS just raised the bar—then built a stadium around it. The group has officially announced a massive 2026–27 world tour spanning 79 shows across more than 30 cities, making it the largest global tour ever by a K-pop act.
The run kicks off April 9 in Goyang, South Korea, before sweeping through Asia, Europe, Latin America, Australia and North America. In the U.S., BTS will hit nearly every major stadium market—from Tampa and Las Vegas to Chicago and Los Angeles—plus two huge nights at MetLife Stadium in August, their first full-group New York-area shows since 2019.
The tour also marks the band’s long-awaited return after completing military service, with a brand-new album set to drop on March 20. In other words, the comeback era is officially here, and demand for tickets is about to be wild.

When do BTS tickets go on sale?
Tickets will roll out in two phases. ARMY Membership presale will begin on January 22, with select shows continuing on January 23. Access is limited to fans who register in advance through BTS’s official fan community on the Weverse app.
Any remaining tickets go on sale January 24, with staggered start times by city.
How the BTS presale works
If you want the best shot at seats, ARMY Membership is the move. Fans must register for the presale on Weverse by January 18. Once approved, your nine-digit ARMY Membership number (starting with “BA”) becomes your presale key, no extra codes needed.
One critical detail: your Weverse email must match your Ticketmaster email or the system won’t recognize your presale access. You can buy up to four tickets per show.
How much will BTS tickets cost?
Official prices haven’t been announced yet. Expect standard tickets to vary by city and seat location, as well as optional VIP Soundcheck packages that include early entry and pre-show access. It’s still unclear whether Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing will be used this time around, so fans should brace for a wide range once sales open.
And a quick reality check: if you’re seeing BTS tickets for sale already on third-party sites, they’re not actually available yet. Those sellers will be trying to score seats during presales and general on-sales just like everyone else—nothing is guaranteed.
For a tour this massive, preparation is everything. Set your alarms, double-check your logins and maybe say a small prayer to the ticket queue gods. BTS is back—and so is the great ARMY ticket scramble.
