Lower Level / Floor Seating

For a better seat and a chance to perhaps get a smile from one of your favourite BTS crushes, then the lower level or floor seating is one of your best options, however tickets are much more expensive! These tickets range from $375 - $600 USD.

ARMY's Reaction

ARMY is currently in a state of "organized chaos" following physical handwritten letters from the members and Jungkook’s surprise return to social media, both of which have fuelled even more excitement about the ticket release and tour dates! This time round, though, ARMY are eagerly anticipating a more powerful, mature stage presence following their discharge.

Not only, did Weverse crash, but it also created an emotional wave across the global fandom! The Dojeon team knew that the 'presale bloodbath' would be fierce, but this was something else entirely!

The New Album

Following the ticket sales, a new album will also be released! Talk about perfect timing or a coincidence! This will be their first full-length group album since 2020’s Map of the Soul: 7. It features 14 tracks described as "honest stories" reflecting the members' growth and military journey, which ARMY followed closely. The BTS boys reportedly worked on this throughout the second half of 2025 in the U.S. and Korea. Did ARMY know, or is this a surprise?
