K-Pop concert ticket prices have continued to rise over the years. Compared to before, ticket prices have risen drastically, with many major group tours starting around 150,000–200,000 KRW (~$110–$150 USD) for standard seats, and VIP tickets often exceeding 250,000 KRW (~$180+ USD).

Most recently, BTS faced significant backlash over their opening concert prices in Goyang. Prices were as follows: Soundcheck is 264,000 KRW (~$180 USD), General R is 220,000 KRW (~$150 USD), and General S is 198,000 KRW (~$135 USD).

Fan: I got Bruno Mars’ tickets!

Sohee: Give me a ticket, too!”

Fan: But, ticketing was way easier than RIIZE? And they were cheaper too!

Sohee: Oh my God…now that is a problem. That is a huge problem.

Seeing this, netizens truly hoped that SM was aware that this was indeed, a problem.
