Alleged Drop In Price Of BTS’s Tour Tickets Sparks Major Controversy

Netizens’ posts about an alleged drop in BTS ticket prices ahead of the US shows has sparked major controversy.

BTS are in the midst of their ARIRANG world tour.

In the midst of the group’s US shows, netizens have been sharing proof that the initially deemed expensive tickets for the shows have dropped in price, with some allegedly selling for as low as $4. Some used it as “proof” of the show not actually selling out and claiming that the demand was not as huge as expected.

Yet, fans were quick to share that the ticket prices had gone down when the show started, a common occurrence when seats are still available due to high prices. It is also often known that scalper or resale tickets become available when the show starts or production seats, which wouldn’t impact the demand for the tickets.

This is so funny to me…at 8 when the concerts starting this is what the prices go down to😂 pic.twitter.com/ifqcy5UMyU
