In front of the Los Angeles Staples Center where the performance was held, fans hit the tent and spent a few nights. Fans who have not been able to get tickets are not able to leave the venue to see the members at a distance.
"I've been waiting here for four days - my friends have been around for quite a while," one fan told Billboard in an exhilarating voice.
"I flew from Nicaragua to California to see BTS, I planned for months," another fan said.
Asked by reporters which stage of the BTS songs was most expected, one fan immediately danced 'burning', drawing cheers from other fans.
The price of the ticket soared to the ceiling.
United States of America CNBC reported on the 5th (local time) that a Massachusetts fan bought a ticket for a Chicago performance of BTS for $ 3,849.38, citing the United States of America online booking site Ticket City.
In the ticket market, BTS Concert tickets sell for an average of $ 823 per ticket, which is twice as expensive as the United States of America superstar James Taylor Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Tele's '2018 My Reputation Tour' ticket.
CNBC said, "James Taylor Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Tel is not so famous as BTS." Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Tel opens Concert in a lot of cities and large venues, but BTS has fewer performances and smaller venues. Demand - It can be interpreted in terms of supply. "
In fact, there are many requests among BTS fan club ARMY to increase the number of performances.
Most of the tickets in Los Angeles are over $300, but they sold out in 10 minutes of online release. The 40,000 Concert tickets at the United States of America New York City City Field on October 6 were also sold at the same time as the booking began. City Field is the United States of America Major League New York City Mets home stadium with top stars such as Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
As the World Tour of BTS has attracted attention as a 'social phenomenon' in United States of America, competition for United States of America has become fierce. However, BTS is said to have decided to sell out to performances rather than media interviews during his stay in LA.
James Corden, a talk show host, actor and producer on the United States of America CBS, said on his Twitter account on the 29th of last month, "I hope BTS will come to our show and call Serendipity," he said, "Can we call it from 'Carpool Karaoke (a corner name in the program)? "
But on the same day, ABC7 entertainment reporter George FeNacho tweeted, "I'm sorry to announce this news, but today I learned that BTS decided to refuse all interview requests while in LA." FeNacho said: "BTS wants to focus on their show, and I'm told they're not doing anything other than Concert. I will still cover Concert for you. "
BTS will perform 33 times in 16 cities around the world, starting with the Staples Center in Los Angeles on the 5th and 6th and 8th and 9th. On the 11th, we will hold 'A Conversation with BTS' (A Conversation with BTS) to meet with United States of America fans in LA at the invitation of Grammy Museum.
All local interviews are rejected to focus fans' Jang Sa-jin performances at the Los Angeles Staples Center.
