1. Are the overseas concert venues a K-League special? Tottenham, Paris, Munich ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sounds fun

 

2. I wasn't even interested in BTS, but just because the name ARIRANG popped up—without anyone even knowing whether it was an album title or a song title—people immediately started nitpicking, going about "nationalism" and all that. It made me think, wow, people are still really invested in them... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

But honestly, if it's BTS, isn't leaning into a bit of national pride actually a good thing?

 

3. I thought only Goyang was doing a 360-degree setup, but when I saw all the overseas stadiums are also 360-degree, all I could think was "this is insane," And on top of that, they sold everything out just through fan club pre-sales.

 

4. I mean, it's not like it was guaranteed, but it's still a shame there's no online concert. I really wanted to watch it, but even thinking about ticketing feels impossible.

 

5. Ah, seriously? Please just do an online concert... I want to see the first show on Thursday so bad. Why, why, why!!!

Please, think about us office workers who can't take time off easily

 

6. If the fan club pre-sale is sold out, does that mean there won't be any ticket left for general sales? Is Goyang completely sold out?

 

7. Just how desperate was everyone? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I'm barely making it to Goyang in the upper-tier seatsㅜ

This was the hardest ticketing experience ever!

 

8. Since Interpark didn't allow simultaneous logins, it was basically a full-on queue system—once you got in, you could actually secure a seat, but getting in was insanely hard... I thought the final concert would be the thoughest, so I went for that first, but it ended up selling out last... How am I supposed to do ticket cancellation sniping now ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

 

9. I'm a bit worried people might start nitpicking again if a few seats open up later, but honestly, at their level, everything will pretty much sell out somehow by the concert day anyway.

 

10. My queue number was like 70,000 or 80,000, so I just gave up and left... But damn, past me was crazy—why did I gave up so easily, ughㅠㅠ

 

11. I thought I'd completely fallen out of the fandom, but the moment the tour announcement dropped, my heart started racing... so I hurriedly signed up for the membership and went for tickets ㅋㅋㅋ I clicked right at the exact time and got a 40,000 queue number, so I thought I was screwed—but I got in within 30 minutes and mnaged to grab one seatㅠㅠ I think it was possible because Interpark limited it to one ticket per person and blocked simultaneous logins ㅠㅠ After the Map Of The Soul concert got cancelled, life had nothing fun for me, but yesterday my dopamine was through the roof  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm so excited.

 

12. If it hadn't been for COVID, I definitely would've gone to a BTS concert at least once... and probably with pretty good seats too. Now I can't even briing myself to try anymore ㅠㅜ

 

13. I can see why they'd be willing to open up Gwanghwamun Square—tourists would gather like crazy.

 

14. How many years has it been since they were all toghether as a full group? Fans must be insanely excited.

15. Why is there no seat for me... I waited in line for rour hours and still failed ㅠㅜ

 

16. I'm cursing my phone for crashing even though I had a good ueue number ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 

17. I just assumed there'd obviously be seats, so I was even thinking about going twice—the first and the last show—but I barely managed to grab a nosebleed seat for the first concert. I had a brief, foolish dreamㅋㅋㅋ

 

18. Yesterday, the Goyang concert ticketing kept crashing and turning into total chaos, so it wasn't until almost 10 p.m.—after more than two hours—that I barely managed to snag one ticket for the final show, all the way up on the third floorㅠㅠ. Right after COVID, when the main stadium still had socilan distancing, I managed to attend all the shows (two days on the 2nd floor and one day on the 1st), but this time it was an all-time, absolute disaster.

 

19. It is basically impossible for regular people to got all....? I was curious and wanted to try ticketing at least once.

20. I do have my precious seat. Even if it's a restricted-view seat, just being able go go is what matters—being there and sitting in that spot is what's important.

21. Since the Korean concert ticketing opened almost at the same time as Europe last night, Europeans probably couldn't even try for the Korean shows. Thanks to that, I think I managed to secure one ticket at least ㅜ

 

22. Wow, but do they usually open all of that in one day? Fans must be exhausted.

 

23. They say everything sold out just through the fan club pre-sale, and honestly, since it's a 360-degree stadium setup with like 80,000-100,000 seats, I thought it would at least make it to general sales. But wow, they really do have an insane number of fans—it's on a completely different level. I didn't realize it would be THAT MUCH!

 

24. Since they can't really drag them over the scale of the sell-outs and all that, now they're switching to "Korean concert ticketing was actually super easy" or "there are more peopple in their 40s-5-s than teens/20s" as their new angle to put them down—and honestly, why does that look so lame?ㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, it's impressive. I how they do even better. I'm insanely excited about them performing at Gwanghwamun Square.

 

25. It's impressive—no matter how much people try to downplay BTS here, it's not like they can actually take away their popularity. Sometimes there are people who act like BTS personally stole their fame or something ㅋㅋㅋ

 

26. At least Interpark's system is set up to limit it one thicket per person, so I was able to grab one ticket. Should I try my luck with Tokyo next?

 

27. I hesitated and didn't end up signing up for the membership, but I guess I'll have to go all out with cancellation ticketing until the day of the concertㅠㅠㅠ

 

28. Yesterday's ticketing wasn't just for Korea, right?? Selling out all the 360-degree stadiums in one go through fan club pre-sales is insane.

 

29. It's not surprising because it's BTS—it was totally expected. They probably have a massive energy stockpile they've been building up for yearsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

30. It's amazing! They really managed to fill it up.

 

31. Even if it's on the 3rd floor, at least having one ticket is something ㅠ I was just caressing my Interpark booking confirmation yesterday ㅠ

 

32. Everyone waited forever, and in the midst of all that, the ARMYs who managed to grab tickets must've had their ancestors helping them or something ㅋㅋㅋ

 

33. Do pop singers do 360-degree setups too? I think I've seen it with U2 and Ed Sheeran ㅋㅋ Their ticket power is insane.The stage with Taeguk (Korean flag) design would look so cool, and since it's in the center, the experienve must feel really close.

 

34. I've been waiting for this day—I haven't forgotten that the full concerts got canceled because of COVID. Of course, I didn't manage to attend all the shows this time either. But even going for just one day is something. 

 

35. Wow, I hope my favorite grows up well too and can perform at a place like that someday.

 

36. I'm not in the fan club—do you think I could still get even one ticket?ㅜㅜ I really want to go.

 

37. Yesterday, my connection kept crashing, so I barely managed to grab a ticket for just one of the three days, and I was so disappointed—but seeing it like this now, it doesn't feel so "barely" after all.

 

38. I saw a news headline saying "World Pop Star BTS," and I totally get it—this is real. They're seriously amazing.

 

39. Wow... I thought Korea would sell out just through fan club pre-sales, but the overseas stadiums are selling out through pre-sales too.

 

40. Looks like everyone was really ready—on the expat sites in the U.S., people were losing it because they couldn't get tickets. It'd be great if they added more shows.
