A Legacy of Global Dominance
BTS debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Music with seven members: RM, Jin, Suga, J‑Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. The group quickly rose to international prominence with a blend of hip‑hop, pop, R&B, EDM, deeply personal lyrics, and energetic choreography.
They shattered global records with hits like Dynamite, Butter, and Boy With Luv, and became known for their positive messages around self‑love and mental health. Their devoted fan base, known as ARMY, has helped BTS become one of the highest‑earning and most‑streamed artists worldwide.
The 2026 tour represents a monumental return to the stage for the group, bringing together their massive global audience for what is expected to be an unforgettable series of performances. The scale of the tour reflects the group's enduring popularity and cultural impact.

For fans who miss out on primary sales, resale platforms like StubHub and Vivid Seats will offer additional options, though at higher price points.
Ticket Pricing & Resale Market
If you're eyeing resale tickets for BTS' 2026 and 2027 World Tour, StubHub and Vivid Seats are two of the most popular places fans turn when primary sales sell out. On Vivid Seats, current listings for BTS concerts show a wide pricing spectrum.
More affordable seats often start in the $600‑plus range for upper‑level sections at stadium shows, while premium floor or VIP packages can climb significantly higher depending on demand and location. These prices reflect both the immense global popularity of BTS and the fierce competition among buyers looking for seats to the World Tour.
StubHub similarly offers a range of resale options and, very importantly, provides a FanProtect Guarantee that helps ensure tickets are legitimate and will be delivered in time for the event or replaced if problems arise. While resale costs can run well above face value (sometimes into the thousands for premium listings), StubHub's buyer protections make it one of the more trusted resale platforms among concertgoers.
Looking Ahead
The 2026-2027 world tour represents a historic moment for BTS and their global fan base. After nearly four years of anticipation, the group is poised to reclaim their position as the world's premier live performance act with a tour that spans five continents and features over 70 shows.
With the release of their new album in March 2026 coinciding with the tour's launch, fans can expect an electrifying combination of new material and classic hits. The scale of the production and the number of shows indicate that this will be a truly monumental event in music history.
As ticket sales approach, fans are advised to prepare early, register on Weverse for presale access, and be ready for intense competition for seats. Whether attending in Goyang, Los Angeles, London, or any other major city, ARMY members worldwide are preparing for what promises to be an unforgettable return for their favorite group.
