KoreaTravelEasy 🎟 Tips for Buying K-POP Concert Tickets in Korea (Especially BTS!)
Ticketing in Korea can be overwhelming — here’s how to prepare:
1. Join the Official BTS Global Fanclub
Sign up for the BTS ARMY Membership on Weverse Shop. You’ll need this to access presale tickets for concerts and fan meetings.
2. Verify Your Membership on NOL WORLD (Formerly Interpark Global)
Yes, Interpark Global has rebranded as NOL WORLD! Make sure you verify your ARMY membership here before ticketing opens. The verification period usually starts weeks before general sales — don’t miss it.
3. Ticketing Method: Mobile vs. PC Bang
Korean fans often go to PC bangs (internet cafes) because they have faster connections and stable setups — but using your own laptop or phone is fine too. What matters most is:
- Fast & stable Wi-Fi
- Knowing your ticketing account login info in advance
💡 Pro tip: Log in 1 hour early and don’t refresh the page during countdown!
4. Can I Use the Korean Interpark/NOL WORLD?
To use the Korean site, you’ll need an ARC (Alien Registration Card). Foreign visitors should stick with the global site unless you’re a resident in Korea.
