On the 24th of last month, YG Entertainment announced that the concert ‘BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK] FINALE IN SEOUL’ would be held on September 16th and 17th for two days at the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium (SKY DOME).
On this day, the official Weverse for BLACKPINK revealed the prices for both offline and online tickets.
BLACKPINK, Gochek Dome Concert Ticket Prices Revealed… “VIP Seat KRW 220,000”
The VIP seat is priced at KRW 220,000, R seat at KRW 187,000. S seat at KRW 154,000, and finally, A seat at KRW 121,000.
Furthermore, the online live streaming viewing ticket is priced at KRW 55,000.
On the 28th, the seating arrangement was unveiled through Interpark Ticket, revealing that VIP seats are some of the closest floor seats to the stage, while R seats are close to the stage but are side floor seats and some 1st-floor seats.
S grade includes side seats on the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as all seats on the 3rd floor, and A seats are all seats on the 4th floor.
With the revelation of the concert prices for BLACKPINK’s world tour finale in Seoul, many fans expressed mixed reactions, saying “There will be many student fans,” “The prices are burdensome,” and more.
Not only BLACKPINK but also popular idol groups like BTS and SEVENTEEN have seen an increase in their concert ticket prices.
Last year, the price for BTS’s concert held at Seoul Jamsil Main Stadium was KRW 220,000 for VIP seats and KRW 165,000 for general seats.
Also, SEVENTEEN’s concert held at Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in July this year had prices of KRW 198,000 for VIP seats and KRW 154,000 for general seats.
To apply for pre-booking, fans need to separately join the paid fan club. Fans coming from locations other than Seoul to attend the concert have to bear accommodation, transportation, and meal expenses on top of the ticket price. As a result, concerns among idol fans are growing due to the rising concert ticket prices.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK, who are approaching a re-contract with YG Entertainment, have garnered much attention by becoming the first girl group in Korea to enter Gochek Sky Dome.
Pre-booking for offline concert tickets, targeting paid fan club members, will open at 8 PM on the 29th through Interpark Ticket, and general booking will start from 7 PM on September 1st.
Online live streaming passes, which include options like delayed streaming, will be available for purchase starting from 8 PM on the 29th after joining Weverse Shop.
