The June 13 show will be broadcast live to select cinemas worldwide. Tickets are available via Fandango and participating theater chains in North America, Europe, and Asia. Check local listings for screening times in your city.

Getting to Busan Asiad Main Stadium

The stadium is well-connected by public transit:

• Subway (Metro): Busan Line 3 — Sports Complex Station (Exit 12), Sajik Station (Exit 1), or Donghae/Geoje Station
• KTX from Seoul: Seoul Station → Busan Station (~2h 15m). Then subway or bus to the stadium.
• Bus: Multiple city bus routes stop directly at the stadium entrance.

Expect large crowds on concert days. Arrive at least 2 hours early and plan your return transit in advance — trains and buses fill up fast after shows.

What to Expect

The Arirang tour takes its name from Korea’s most beloved folk song, and the setlist is expected to blend BTS’s global hits with tributes to traditional Korean music and culture. The 360° stage setup means the production — lights, screens, effects — is designed to immerse the entire stadium rather than direct attention to a single front.

Practical Tips for Visitors

• Check-in and bag inspection queues can take 30–45 minutes — join early.
• Large bags, outside food, and professional camera equipment are not allowed inside.
• Busan gets warm and humid in June — bring water and light clothing.
• Book accommodation in Busan at least 2 weeks in advance if you haven’t already; hotels near Haeundae and downtown Busan fill up fast on concert weekends.
• Age limit: 9 years and older.
