Suga tickets for BTS’s upcoming world tour will likely go on sale in the next few months. BTS typically announces their tours 6-8 months in advance and tickets go on sale shortly after. Based on past timelines, we can make an educated guess as to when ARMY can expect to buy tickets for Suga and the rest of BTS.
When will BTS announce their next tour?
BTS usually embarks on a world tour every 1-2 years. Their last tour, the massive BTS Map of the Soul tour, was announced in January 2020 and kicked off that April. However, the tour was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being officially cancelled in June 2021.
Given the delays over the past few years, ARMY is eagerly awaiting news of BTS’s next tour in 2023. Most industry experts predict BTS will announce their new tour sometime between March-May 2023. This would follow the timeline of their other tours like Love Yourself: Speak Yourself which was announced February 2019 ahead of its May kickoff.
Announcing the tour 3-5 months in advance gives fans time to get excited, clear their schedules, save up money, and plan to attend shows. It also builds buzz and hype surrounding the tour announcement and upcoming ticket sales.
When will tickets go on sale after the tour is announced?
Once BTS announces their next tour (likely March-May 2023), tickets usually go on sale 1-2 months later.
For example, the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour was announced February 19, 2019 and tickets went on sale March 1, 2019 for the first shows. The Map of the Soul tour was announced January 22, 2020 with tickets on sale February 5, 2020.
So if BTS announces their new tour in March 2023, ARMY can probably expect tickets to go on sale in April or May 2023. If the tour is announced in April/May 2023, ticket sales will likely follow 1-2 months after in May/June 2023.
BigHit also usually announces when tickets will go on sale during the initial tour announcement. So ARMY will know exactly when they can buy tickets once the tour is unveiled.
How quickly do BTS tickets sell out?
In the past, BTS has sold out their tours in minutes. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and the huge demand often overwhelms ticket selling platforms.
Some statistics from past BTS tour ticket sales:
Love Yourself: Speak Yourself Tour | Sold out in 90 minutes |
Love Yourself World Tour | Sold out in minutes |
The Red Bullet Tour | Sold out in minutes |
Given their meteoric rise to superstardom since those past tours, demand will be even higher in 2023. It’s expected the next tour from Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, Jin and Jungkook will absolutely shatter records for the fastest sell-out.
Major venues like London’s Wembley Stadium will sell out in seconds once ARMY get their hands on the ticket links. The flock of dedicated BTS fans waiting to buy tickets will certainly overwhelm the online ticketing platforms.
Tips for buying BTS tickets
When tickets do go on sale, having a strategy will be key to scoring seats for Suga and the rest of BTS. Here are some tips for ARMY:
– Be ready on your computer and phone at least 15 minutes before tickets go on sale. Keep refreshing and don’t give up!
– Have an account already set up with the ticketing platform and payment information saved so you can check out faster.
– Join official BTS fan clubs like ARMY Membership to get presale ticket access before the general public.
– Team up with other ARMY to try for tickets and share info instantly on where there is availability.
– Be flexible on which shows you want to attend. Have back-up dates and cities in mind.
– Once in the ticket portal, don’t stop to think about seat options – just click fast and checkout!
– Have a back-up payment method or two ready in case your first credit card is declined.
– If you can’t buy tickets, don’t panic! More tour dates are usually added and resale tickets will pop up, at higher prices though.
How much will BTS tickets cost?
Ticket prices for BTS concerts vary based on:
– Venue size + location
– Seat location (floor, lower bowl, upper deck)
– Limited VIP packages
Here are some average ticket prices for previous BTS tours:
Section | Average Price Range |
Floor/Pit | $250 – $600+ |
Lower Bowl | $150 – $300 |
Upper Bowl | $80 – $250 |
VIP Packages | $500 – $1,000+ |
Of course with BTS reaching newer heights since those last tours, demand and prices will likely be higher in 2023. Fans should be prepared to pay a premium for the chance to see Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and the rest of BTS live in concert.
How fast will resell tickets come up for sale?
Tickets being resold at marked up prices will start popping up minutes after the initial on-sale. BTS concert tickets are always in incredibly high demand, with people willing to pay double or triple face value.
StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and other reseller platforms will quickly see thousands of tickets uploaded by those looking to cash in on the BTS hype.
However, BigHit and ticket vendors are getting stricter about reselling practices. There will be limits, cancellations, and bans for those caught reselling tickets at inflated prices. But despite deterrents, a vibrant secondary market for BTS tickets will appear soon as the tour goes on sale.
Desperate ARMY who missed out on tickets may reluctantly pay the higher secondary market prices. But there is no guarantee resell tickets won’t get cancelled or revoked after purchase. It’s definitely buyer beware when getting tickets from unauthorized resellers.
How fast will tour dates sell out?
Given BTS’ massive popularity, most tour dates will likely sell out within hours, if not minutes. Even huge stadiums with 50,000+ capacity will instantly sell out for the chance to see Suga, J-Hope and the rest of the band.
Some factors that come into play for which shows sell out fastest:
– Cities with biggest ARMY fanbases like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas etc
– Weekend dates vs weekday dates
– Cities/venues BTS has never toured before
– Opening and closing tour dates
– Limited tour dates in a geographic region
– Arena vs stadium venues
Typically the first 1-2 shows in each region will be the hottest tickets and hardest to buy. But virtually every date on BTS’ tour will sell out in lightning speed. Trying to get tickets will be extremely competitive and challenging.
Is there a way to get tickets guaranteed?
Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed when it comes to buying BTS tickets given the sheer demand. But there are a few options to help improve your odds:
– Join BTS’ official fan club, ARMY Membership. Current members get first access to presale ticket links before the general public.
– Follow BTS’ tour promoter and all the venue pages on social media for presale codes and links. Sign up for their email/text lists.
– Partner with other ARMY to coordinate buying group tickets to raise your chances.
– Arrange backup transportation/lodging in multiple cities so you can be flexible on which shows to target.
– Be ready on multiple devices at once when tickets initially go on sale. The more devices hitting the websites, the better.
– Buy a VIP package like a Soundcheck bundle – less competition for the premium priced packages.
– Consider postponing your life around tour dates – take time off work/school to focus just on getting tickets.
– Purchase plum tickets on secondary market as soon as they appear, before prices skyrocket higher.
Even with these steps, there are no guarantees given the extreme challenge of buying BTS tickets. But using these strategies will help the odds shift in your favor. Persistence and dedication will be necessary to secure seats to finally see Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and the rest of BTS live in concert.
Conclusion
