BTS Goyang Opening-Night Resale Tickets Hit 40× Face Value on Secondary Market

With the Arirang World Tour opening day one day away, resale prices for BTS's Goyang Stadium shows (April 9–12) reached as high as $7,000+ on StubHub — approximately 40 times face value — according to Outlook India Respawn and Dojeon Media. The extraordinary secondary market prices reflected global demand from ARMY who missed out in official presales. Fan advocacy groups called on HYBE to implement stronger anti-scalping measures, including verified fan transferability and ID matching. The situation drew comparisons to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour resale prices in 2023, when some tickets also reached 10–30× face value.
