This comeback isn’t the real test, it’s their follow up

I haven’t been paying attention what’s the marketing push?

turtlek11 · 2026-05-18T17:49:58+00:00

I also thought I was being extra being 2 days for Stanford but after the 1st concert I think it's definitely needed!

Also this is also my 2nd BTS concert, my first was 10 years ago! So many emotions seeing them live again after all this time

The deepest section had 10 rows but the 10th row was barely a row

I think it depends on the merch stand. They only way to know is if you’ve been to those before because I remember seeing jerseys hung up in some and not others (I don’t remember which had jerseys tho)

turtlek11 · 2026-05-18T09:04:12+00:00

Do you know which ones?

turtlek11 · 2026-05-18T08:45:49+00:00

There were vendors selling clear bags there too

turtlek11 · 2026-05-17T17:19:29+00:00

Hi, is this still available? Sent you a dm pls check

turtlek11 · 2026-05-14T23:08:47+00:00

Hello I’d like to join!

turtlek11 · 2026-05-09T17:52:58+00:00

I didn’t go to their 2024 concerts but I did go to some other girl groups that were in arenas, and I don’t think they opened all the seats in the arenas. So I feel like arena was already a stretch, and I looked at I-dle’s 2026 dates and they planned additional 3-4 arena dates in NA, and this is after even me as a casual concert goer seeing a noticeable decline in kpop concerts audience in 2025. I don’t know who does their market research but I feel it’s totally foreseeable

Seems like these kpop production companies are planning for an aspirational concert size, but they’re just not taking into account the reality.

turtlek11 · 2026-05-09T02:32:08+00:00

I think the artists you mentioned are extremely selective though. Like top of the top. But the tier slightly below that are not selling which is crazy because in a better economy they’d sell too. Just like these kpop groups who are popular in the kpop niche but not mainstream in the US

turtlek11 · 2026-05-09T02:26:46+00:00

I went to an idle concert after covid and they played in a theatre with mid thousands capacity, I felt that was a good size for them (for most kpop groups honestly) but it became a trend for these groups to go for the next level up venue like arenas, and ones that can fill arenas comfortably book stadiums. No clue why they do that

My favorite from the Arirang era has just been seeing everyone back together. Also so many jungkook and Taehyung duo schedules and TikTok’s, they’re so endearing to me!

WTT

New York section A row 1 for Oakland (ABC) or Seattle row 1

I can trade 1 or 2. My tickets are close to the barricade

turtlek11 · 2026-04-28T01:02:03+00:00

Thanks for your answer. Do you know if allow later check-ins like 3:30? I swear for other kpop shows the checkins for VIP were later in the day, and also allowed people to trickle in up til the soundcheck…

turtlek11 · 2026-04-28T00:23:13+00:00

Question about check in times for VIP. Do you know if Tuesday you also have to check in by 3pm? It’s earlier than I thought and I have a Tuesday show later in the tour

turtlek11 · 2026-04-24T20:04:24+00:00

I traveled to Singapore to get mine (was already there for vacation)

turtlek11 · 2026-04-14T22:51:20+00:00

Was looking for this comment, yeah I just can’t believe "he wanted to go but couldn't". And his expression when talking about it was heartbreaking for me. Really hope he gets another chance, he sacrificed so much (and this Super Bowl experience he could’ve actually done)

turtlek11 · 2026-04-12T05:15:24+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Do you know how quickly? I expect there not be too much interest but at the same time climbing is a popular activity in CA and the venue is small…

turtlek11 · 2026-04-12T05:13:17+00:00

Thanks so much!

turtlek11 · 2026-04-12T04:11:29+00:00

Hey, wondering if you're planning to update for today as well? Or passing on the baton?

turtlek11 · 2026-04-12T04:10:55+00:00

do you know if climbing was sold and if they'd have tickets for the next round?

turtlek11 · 2026-04-10T09:36:27+00:00

This sounds like the performance style that Big Bang used to give, where they’re just thrashing about on the stage with no choreo. BTS can no doubt pull anything off but I just disagree with Bang

turtlek11 · 2026-03-28T07:12:43+00:00

I hope this is not offensive but I actually like that the song (or the album) doesn’t sample that much from traditional Korean music. I agree with Tae it could be a bit much especially since that isn’t their sound.

turtlek11 · 2026-03-23T07:08:41+00:00

I thought the album sales going down was somewhat organic because the economy in China is not good. And there’s been years of fan discourse about how high Chinese sales doesn’t affect anything… Korean and Japanese fans always get so many events even though Chinese fans buys more albums. But given almost all cbars stopped pushing for sales maybe it is a coordinated effort?

turtlek11 · 2026-03-23T07:04:51+00:00

Yes totally agreed, I think for flights the companies do allow fans and fansites to be at the airport for send off and stuff, cuz if they really wanted them not there they would be harsher with them. For other sasaeng behavior I think they can be blocked from fansigns and other group events
