BTS announced four concerts in Singapore scheduled for December 17, 19, 20, and 22, 2026, at the Singapore National Stadium [1, 2]. Ticket prices for the Singapore shows range from 148 SGD to 388 SGD for VIP packages [2].
To curb ticket scams, Carousell removed all BTS concert ticket resale listings until after the last concert date of December 22, 2026, despite no scams yet detected on its platform. A Carousell spokesperson said, "We will continue to cooperate closely with law enforcement agencies to protect our users' safety and ensure this temporary ban is only applied in rare cases" [1].
Singapore police warned that fake BTS tickets are commonly sold on Facebook, Telegram, X (Twitter), Carousell, and Xiaohongshu. Victims often contact sellers with ads on these platforms and receive fake tickets or receipts, discovering the scam only when no ticket arrives or sellers disappear, the force said [1]. The Singapore Consumers Association President Yang Yicai advised buyers to "exercise caution and never trust sellers or websites of unknown origin" when purchasing concert tickets [1].
Ticketmaster terms forbid transferring or reselling BTS tickets, with violators potentially denied entry and no refund [1, 2]. Facebook Marketplace and TikTok Shop also ban concert ticket listings and sales [1, 2].
In Taiwan, BTS will perform three concerts in Kaohsiung on November 19, 21, and 22, 2026, at the Kaohsiung National Stadium [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Tickets are sold exclusively on the Taiwanese platform tixCraft via a three-phase sale: official fan club presale on June 2, a Live Nation Taiwan presale on June 3, and a general sale on June 4 [4, 5, 8, 7].
The highest VIP ticket price for Kaohsiung is NT$9,380, which includes soundcheck access and exclusive merchandise [4, 5, 7]. Strict real-name registration and ID checks are in place, limiting purchases to two tickets per show per account, with credit card payments required [4, 5, 7].
Fans in Taiwan showed intense demand and frustration. Many experienced website delays during the presale, causing mixed success rates [8, 9, 10, 11]. Taiwanese baseball player Sun Yi-lei successfully bought tickets within four minutes during the official fan presale on June 2 and joked, "呃，是按一按就有了嗎？" ("Uh, was it just a matter of clicking?") [8, 12, 9, 10, 11].
Some fans sought blessings from the lunar deity Yuelao for luck in scoring tickets. One fan said, "BTS concert tickets are so hard to get, so everyone says praying to Yuelao is the most effective because it is another kind of fate. I hope he can help me tie the bond" [3, 6].
BTS' 2026 world tour started in October with concerts in Korea, then Japan, North America, and Europe before reaching Taiwan in November and Singapore in December [8].
Carousell’s suspension of ticket resales will remain until after the Singapore concerts end on December 22, 2026 [1].
