How to get BTS World Tour 2026 tickets?

In order to get your hands on one ticket, since that is the limit in some cases, your best chance will be during the pre-sale.

However, the pre-sale will not be open to all — just those who have the ARMY membership. This membership will grant its holder exclusive access to events, gifts and even earlier access to tickets.

After you get the right type of membership, you must register for the pre-sale, verify your identity and link it to your membership which will give you access to the pre-sale.

How to apply for ARMY membership

Three types of membership are available. These are based on the region you are located in — not where you would wish to see them live.

The three types of membership are: US, Japan and Global. These memberships are available on Weverse, an official fan app for artists and fans to interact. Fans in the UAE should ideally purchase the global membership.

Purchasing them is notably easy, with it being available on the Weverse shop. When purchasing the membership it is imperative to ensure that the name you put in matches your name on your government ID.

After this, you must link your account to your Weverse account by pre-verifying your identity. You will be asked to scan a government ID. You must do so within the pre-verification period.
