BTS Sold Out Chicago Months Ago. Here's How to Still Get In.
BTS brings the Arirang World Tour to Soldier Field on Aug. 27 and 28, marking the group's first Chicago shows since 2019 and the only Midwest stop on the North American leg. Both nights sold out at face value within hours of the general on-sale in January, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has declared both dates "BTS Day" across the state.
Show details:
- Aug. 27 (Thu) and Aug. 28 (Fri) - Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
- Doors and showtime: 8 p.m. both nights
- Stage: a 360-degree in-the-round setup used across the tour, designed to give every section of the stadium an unobstructed view of all seven members
- Lineup: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, performing together as a full act following the completion of mandatory military service
Tickets:
Primary tickets are gone through Ticketmaster, but two verified resale channels remain open for both dates:
- Ticketmaster Verified Resale - authenticates resale inventory before listing, tickets valid for entry
- StubHub - covered under StubHub's FanProtect guarantee
Resale floor prices have been running above $400 per ticket for both nights. Avoid peer-to-peer trades through social media; neither Ticketmaster nor Big Hit Music can recover funds lost to unverified sellers, and Soldier Field's entry system is built to reject invalid or duplicated tickets.
There is no other Midwest date on the current North American schedule, which is part of why Chicago has held some of the highest resale prices on the tour - fans from Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota and Missouri have treated this stop as their regional option by default.
Soldier Field runs a clear-bag policy and operates as a cashless venue.
From Chicago, the Arirang World Tour continues to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, for four shows - Sept. 1, 2, 5 and 6 - before the tour moves on to South America, Southeast Asia and Australia through early 2027.
