The pre-sale for BTS concerts at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros sold out quickly on January 23, 2026, but not without issues: thousands of ARMY fans reported difficulties accessing Ticketmaster, with virtual queues up to 200,000 people and accusations of variable pricing. Confirmed dates are May 7, 9, and 10, with tickets ranging from 1,767 to 13,330 Mexican pesos. Big Hit Music warned about fraudulent resale sites.
The ARMY pre-sale for BTS concerts in Mexico, part of their 'ARIRANG' world tour, started at 9:00 a.m. on January 23, 2026, on Ticketmaster, exclusive to Weverse-registered members. However, from 8:30, fans reported issues joining the virtual queue, with error messages like 'This sale is for fans who registered in advance.' Ticketmaster granted access at 8:55, but queues hit 165,000 to 200,000 users for the May 7 and 9 dates, selling out in an hour.
The 12:00 p.m. second pre-sale faced even longer lines, and the third for May 10 also sold out quickly. Some ARMY reported charges above Ocesa's announced fixed prices of 1,767, 2,840, 4,476, 4,948, 8,010, 8,482, 8,953, and 13,330 pesos (including fees), plus 50 pesos for processing. VIP packages cost up to 17,782 pesos. Ocesa changed 'price levels' to 'price ranges' in its post, causing confusion, though it denied dynamic pricing.
Social media reactions included memes, celebrations like 'VOY A VER A BTS,' and complaints: 'Today I felt FEAR, ADRENALINE, EMOTION AND NAUSEA (…) It glitched a lot but we did it.' Ticketmaster blamed internet connections. Big Hit Music warned on Weverse: 'These unauthorized websites are not affiliated with Weverse's official services or sites.' Sites like Viagogo already offer resales up to 190,675 pesos.
General sale starts January 24 at 9:00 a.m., with a limit of four tickets per person. BTS returns after military service, with three shows in a 360-degree stadium for better visibility.
