BTS is officially about to change the course of Kpop history! They are getting ready to embark on what is already being described as the biggest Kpop act tour ever, and the numbers are just astounding. Last week, tickets for BTS's upcoming ARIRANG World Tour went on sale. Within hours, every performance in North America and Europe was fully booked.
The BTS ARIRANG World Tour craze began immediately, with fans overloading ticketing websites and driving demand to all-time highs. With an incredible 2.4 million tickets sold across just 41 stadiums, BTS has become the first non-English-speaking, Asian artist to sell more than 2 million tickets.
