BTS is back. A 2026 comeback. A world tour. My bank account is crying. However, here are my tips on how to get BTS concert tickets, based on my experience with PTD in Las Vegas.
So I got tickets to BTS’ concert. It took a lot of work. I spent a week preparing. A few months of saving money. I also did a lot of deep breathing, sweating, and practicing how to click seats in Ticketmaster’s venue maps. But I got tickets.
This blog post will give tips on how to get BTS concert tickets.
Disclaimer: These are the methods I used to get my BTS concert tickets. I can NOT guarantee that you will get tickets. These methods are just tips to help ARMY, friends of ARMY, or fans of BTS get tickets.
P.S. Also, my main objective was to get BTS tickets. The end. I got amazing seats close enough to the stage, but I wasn’t aiming for VIP, soundcheck, floor, etc. So if you want specifics on how to get them, I recommend going to one of the BTS ARMY YouTubers.
Jan 2026 Update: BTS’s World Tour is happening! The WeVerse announcement.
All My Tips On How To Get BTS Concert Tickets
Step 1: Have money saved up or a credit card ready.
One of the first steps to getting BTS concert tickets is knowing how you’re going to pay for them. This is my first step because you have to pay for the tickets before anything else. It was also the hardest part (second behind the queue, but that’s for later) about getting tickets. HYBE/BigHit just randomly announces when concerts are happening nowadays. My friends and I were scrambling for Permission To Dance Las Vegas tickets. Be prepared by having money set aside for concert tickets. I personally kind of have a savings account just for concerts because artists drop dates when you least expect them.
Ticket prices vary for each concert and venue, but BTS concert tickets typically range from $60 to $500. Then Ticketmaster adds a BUNCH of unnecessary fees, so save for that. Then there is dynamic pricing, which is why Ticketmaster just hikes the prices due to demand. 😐 (Please don’t get started on this.)
If you plan to travel, have money for that as well. I also want to add that even if a concert is local, you’ll need to think about parking, food, etc. I discussed this in my K-pop concert essentials article.
Then, there is also the option of buying tickets later, which will likely be a bit more due to resellers and the horrible scalpers overpricing tickets.
I recommend having money or even a credit card (or two) already saved in your Ticketmaster account. This is probably going to save you time when you’re in the queue. I’ve watched too many YouTube videos of fans getting into the queue, but they are taking forever to type their credit card number in!! Have it in there beforehand! (But I’ll explain the queue later).
Overall, for the first step, have your money and credit cards ready and in your Ticketmaster account.
Step 2: Get the OFFICIAL BTS membership from WeVerse.
The next step to increasing your chance of getting BTS tickets is buying the official BTS Membership. One of the perks of having the official BTS Global Official Fanclub ARMY Membership is having the opportunity to pre-book BTS concerts.
With Permission to Dance – Las Vegas, the very first presale was just for official members. It took a ton of steps to get it through, but it’s VITAL. I must emphasize THAT YOU MUST GET THE MEMBERSHIP. Official members get early access to concert tickets. Go to WeVerse Shop Membership Tab or download the WeShop/WeVerse App on your phone and get the membership. Membership costs range from $19-$22 (I keep seeing different numbers on my laptop and in the WeVerse App.) There are also memberships based on country, so make sure you pick the one for your country.
I knew too many people who were hesitant to get the membership and didn’t even have a chance to get into the queue because tickets sold out within 3-4 hours. I was literally watching tickets disappear in the queue as I was giving people updates.
Simply, get the membership. Do yourself a favor, and just get it. Also have their announcement notifications on.
Step 3: Create a Ticketmaster account.
Okay, next step. Create a Ticketmaster account. Login in here or sign up here. Ticketmaster is the most annoying website on the planet, but it’s the cheapest (pretty much the only way to get tickets without the possibility of getting scammed in the US) way to get tickets.
Some people have multiple accounts. I heard that you have to have separate cards for each one. I personally didn’t risk it or try to experiment when it came down to the wire. One account should be good.
I find that when people do more to get tickets, the harder it is. One Ticketmaster account should be enough.
Update ’23: I know one friend who had each family member try to get tickets on separate, individual accounts, and she got tickets through her brother (but this was for Harry Styles.) For BTS, my friend and I both had our accounts ready. Basically, the more people, the easier it may be.
Update ’26: Ticketmaster has changed so much. Each concert I’ve tried to get tickets for has had different rules, especially with this queue and codes situation. I just recommend staying up to date and keeping up with their changes.
Step 4: Sign up for any presale, especially WeVerse’s and/or Ticketmaster’s.
The biggest thing you’ll have to worry about is honestly being selected for the presale. This time in 2026, WeVerse has a presale application on the tour announcement page. SIGN UP ASAP.
For PTD, my friend and I signed up the day Ticketmaster or BigHit/HYBE said BTS was going to be performing in Vegas. No thoughts; just signing up for BTS membership and its presale. Also, make sure to follow directions! Read the directions and understand everything. My friend and I spent a good 30 minutes making sure we were doing things correctly.
’25 and ’26 Update: Again, Ticketmaster has changed so much over the last year. I recommend just signing up for any related to BTS updates and being on the watch for anything related to a BTS tour in 2026. Every concert I’ve tried or have gotten tickets for this year has been completely different. For example, Ariana Grande’s queue, I didn’t need a code, and I got in, but didn’t get tickets 😭. I got Halsey’s Back to Bandlands tickets through LiveNation Access or a presale code. For Olivia Dean, I got emailed a code, and I was one of the lucky ones who got tickets easily.
Step 5: Know when things go on sale and have the times correct.
If it weren’t for my friends updating my late ass, I wouldn’t have gotten tickets. Ngl. Make sure you know EXACTLY when tickets go on sale. You need to be prepared and ready. Triple-check every date and time HYBE/Bighit tells you AND Ticketmaster. Set alarms. Block out time in your calendar. Hide in a closet at work (My friend did that once for tickets.)
Also, get familiar with different time zones, especially Korea Standard Time. You might also want to get familiar with 24-hour time or military time. Again, just make sure you have the correct times, especially if the venue is not in your time zone! It has happened to me when I missed a presale for a concert because I thought it was in my time zone. Make sure you triple-check when tickets go on sale!
Step 6: Follow every single official BTS account & have WeVerse notifications on!
HYBE/Bighit will announce something with little warning. ARMY moves quickly. So, make sure that you are up to date with anything related to BTS or BTS tour dates. I know WeVerse is the main source for concert dates, follow official BTS accounts online, and fan update pages. If you’re like me, where I’m offline some days, have some friends or family members remind you or update you.
You must be ready to sign up for any presale, early code access, or whatever. That brings me up to my next step.
Step 7: Write down all important information.
Get yourself a stack of sticky notes and start writing down your official BTS membership number, any presale code, or whatever you need. Have your credit/debit cards ready next to you for their information. I had everything written down on paper and on a sticky note app on my laptop to be ready for the time I got out of the queue. You honestly don’t know how long you’ll be in the queue for tickets, and it’s hectic once you get out of it and are trying to find seats.
You don’t have time to run around to look for your credit card. Have that in your Ticketmaster account already. Do the simplest things before getting in line for tickets.
Step 8: Figure out where you want to sit on what day (because you don’t have time to be picky!)
If you know where the venue is, start picking your seats ASAP. Have at least 4 backups. My friend and I knew which area we wanted to sit in, and both planned to divide the stadium. One of us takes one side, and the other side takes the other. I wrote down 4 sections on my sticky note and knew where to click.
Now, don’t be sitting there looking for the best section when you are buying tickets, because that’s one mistake I noticed every other person trying to buy BTS tickets was making on YouTube. It was stressing me out watching that. Have backup seats for sure.
I will also add that the very front rows of the 100s are also going to go quickly (like the floor seats) because usually, the boys ride around, and the first rows of the 100s are the closest to them. These rows are the ones where people may even get to interact with them, or one of the guys will touch their hands. I didn’t know, and eventually, I put 2 and 2 together from concert videos later. I wish I had tried harder to get those first-row seats.
’26 Update: I will also add that the first few rows of the 100s and certain seats on the floor are sometimes the seats Ticketmaster puts under Platinum Seat or dynamic pricing, so they’re going to maybe be overpriced. I’m not sure, but I have had that happen when I tried for other BTS solo concerts.
Step 9: Practice clicking.
I know this sounds so dumb, but practice clicking seats. I was lucky enough to find out that Bad Bunny was going to be at the same venue and had a similar stage setup as BTS. So I would practice clicking seats in my free time at work…
But I got tickets…and that’s all that matters. LOL.
Okay, you don’t have to be as dedicated as me with the clicking every day. But know how to use your mouse/touchpad and make sure it’s working right. I know when I got back in the queue after getting my first tickets, I went back to see what was available for another concert, and tickets were disappearing as I was thinking about where to sit in the 300s.
Just be ready to click fast, okay?
Step 10: Mentally prepare yourself for the queue.
This is probably the most nerve-wracking part because, honestly, you have no control over where you’ll end up in the queue. Sitting in the queue seemed like forever. I was lucky to only be in there for 30 minutes. My friend got in after 45 minutes to an hour of waiting, AND we both got in line at the same time.
Just waiting is the most annoying part. Because it’s all random.
Have your presale code ready. Copy and paste it if you can. Have it on a sticky note on your computer. My hands were trembling as I was typing and checking if it was right.
’23 Update: I’m getting flashbacks reading this.
’26 Update: Honestly, getting PTD – Las Vegas tickets mentally prepared me for Ariana Grande tickets. I spent an hour on two different days trying to get a ticket. (I still don’t have a ticket 😭.)
Step 11: Be early to the queue opening.
I’m going to be so honest. An hour before the queue opened, I was sweating my butt off. I heard about how the queue booted people out, or people were in there for HOURS. I just couldn’t handle that.
Be early. Follow the directions on the screen. Ticketmaster automatically refreshes the page when it’s time to get in line. Just sit back and watch. Also, read everything and prepare to know what seats you want.
’23 Update: I know that Ticketmaster recommends that you get there 30 minutes. IDK if they have gotten better since MOTS:7 tickets/PTD- Los Angeles (IDK because Swifties were going through it), but DO NOT BE LATE. I can’t emphasize enough to be early or on time. I showed up a few minutes late for another concert (I think Stray Kids’ first time in April of 2022) and was scrambling for a seat. I will also add to follow any direction that Ticketmaster gives you when you arrive at the website for tickets.
’26 Update: Again, Ticketmaster is always changing things. Just follow directions and be on time. I still recommend that.
Final F.A.Q
What happens in the Ticketmaster queue for BTS Tickets?
So from my personal experience, I didn’t have any issues getting into the queue. I had my presale code, and I had all my info together. I got in, and I got out. I didn’t hesitate.
Basically, you have to be on time for when the queue opens. I had my screen open an hour before the queue opened and only had to refresh my page when it didn’t auto-refresh 30 minutes before. After you get into the queue, DO NOT REFRESH. If you see a number, don’t refresh. Wait until the number goes down.
How long did you wait in the queue?
I waited only 30 minutes in the queue for tickets (aka the screen that shows the venue and you pick the seats). HOWEVER, my friend and I got on at the exact same time. We were on as early as Ticketmaster allowed us. I don’t remember the time exactly, but we got in the queue. We both started at 2000+, and it was a slow process. No refreshing or going back. Just let the line move.
My number started going down quicker than my friend’s. I stopped everything and dropped my phone while on FaceTime with my friend. (She was confused af and I didn’t say anything until I got those tickets.)
I had my code, card info, and even my BTS card membership number ready. By the time I got in, I only paid attention to the seats I wanted, which were the C100s (which were amazing. We also had access to the stadium’s bars and snacks.) I didn’t see any floor seats and just went straight for what I wanted. I didn’t spend any time thinking about the seats. I just got them, hoped that they were going through, and paid. Then, I waited for the confirmation email before I could calm down.
Is it really this intense?
Probably not, but I wanted BTS tickets and KNEW that PTD Las Vegas was going to sell out. But I got tickets. It sold out within 3-4 hours. There was no time to come back for the next day unless you wanted to buy from scalpers or people who happened to sell because they wanted a different day. It’s not as intense as I thought it was going to be, but it had me sweating.
UPDATE ’23: Okay…this wasn’t as intense as Harry Styles tickets. I cried. I kept clicking seats and got errors. Luckily, my friend got tickets, but we also pulled up to the stadium the next day and got GA seats way cheaper than on Ticketmaster.
I would also mention that it’s a possibility to just go to the venue, but I don’t always recommend it. I saw people on TikTok say that they did it for BTS’s PTD, but I didn’t live near Allegiant Stadium. I wasn’t going to risk it. I did it for Harry because he was in Austin, and I learned from BTS’s PTD what to do. If you call the venue about last-minute tickets, then it may happen that you can get some. I personally would get BTS tickets ASAP and would not play around because BTS always sells out. This option is for the very last minute aka the day off which is risky af for some concerts.
’26 Update: You wanna know the most intense concert tickets I tried to get? Ariana Grande 😭 Y’all I didn’t even get a ticket 🥲
That’s it for all my advice on how to get BTS Concert tickets. I’ve attended several concerts since PTD – Las Vegas (it was my first concert BTW), and it was so much fun. I feel like BTS, out of all the concerts I’ve attended, had the smoothest buying process, in my opinion. I hope HYBE/BigHit repeats the process they had whenever the next tour happens because Ticketmaster and its scalper/resellers’ issue has gotten worse.
Now, look at this amazing photo from PTD – Las Vegas on the last day. 🥹
I have a blog post regarding everything that happens at the concert and even the BTS Pop-Up Event eventually…I took a lot of photos.
This blog post gave all my advice on how to get BTS concert tickets. I wish you the best in getting yours for the next time BTS is on tour!
