BTS recorded huge earnings thanks to their four-night US concert.
According to Billboard on Dec 3rd (local time), BTS’ four Los Angeles-area concerts grossed a mammoth $33.3 million (about 39.4 billion won) and sold 214,000 tickets. Overall, BTS lands the sixth best-grossing engagement in Billboard Boxscore history.
Billboard analyzed, “It’s the largest gross for run of shows at a single venue since 2012, when Roger Waters earned $38 million over nine shows at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina.” Remarkably, the five engagements that have out-grossed BTS throughout Boxscore history were each at least twice as long as BTS’ four-show sweep. If sales of goods and online broadcasting earnings are included, BTS‘ profits are expected to surpass expectations.
BTS held “BTS Permission to Dance on Stage-LA” at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Nov 27th~28th and Dec 1st~2nd. As it was BTS’ first offline concert in 2 years, tens of thousands of people gathered around the concert hall to create a purple wave.
As the gap between face-to-face performances was long, BTS impressed ARMYs with a composition that could enjoy both popularity and musicality at the same time. After the successful concert, BTS will participate in the “Jingle Ball Tour” – the largest year-end event in America which has been held since Dec 3rd.
Besides, BTS is also scheduled to hold a concert in Seoul next March to meet domestic fans.
