Um, was anyone expecting Suga from BTS to drop a surprise 2023 tour announcement? Because I sure wasn’t! The Agust D Tour is kicking off in the U.S. in April, and as you can imagine, fans are already chomping at the bit to get their hands on those coveted tickets. But if we know anything about dealing with Ticketmaster and prepping for concerts, it’s that the presale can change everything. With that said, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the Agust D Tour presales and how you can register for them to get the Suga tickets of your dreams.
There are two presales happening for the Agust D Tour: the ARMY Member presale and the General Verified Fan presale. All ticket sales for the U.S. tour stops are being done through Ticketmaster, so if you don’t have an account on there yet, you’ll want to get on that ASAP. The tour starts in Belmont Park, New York, on April 26, and you can buy tickets as soon as March 1, so get your wallet ready now. No information on specific pricing for tickets have been released yet, but with the high demand that BTS is known to have, it’s fair to assume you’ll have to fork over quite a bit of cash for this tour.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Agust D Tour presales, from when they’re happening to how to apply.
When do the presale applications for Suga’s Agust D Tour open?
Guess what? You can apply for the presales right now! That’s right: Soon after the tour announcement dropped on BigHit’s socials, they headed to Weverse to give fans more info about tickets for this surprise tour.
Applications for both the ARMY Member presale (saved for only those who have bought an ARMY Membership through the Weverse Shop) as well as the General Verified Fan Presale through Ticketmaster are open from 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 14 to 10 p.m. on Feb. 23 in EST. (Make sure to check your individual time zone so you don’t miss the window, besties!)
When is the Agust D Tour presale happening?
OK, so once you’ve applied for both presales, you’ll have to sit tight in anticipation for a bit. The first presale, the ARMY Member presale, opens on March 1 at 3 p.m. local time, depending on which show you’re hoping to snag tickets for. If you get a code (which you’ll find out through an email from Ticketmaster the night before), you’ll have from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time on March 1 to try for tickets.
If there are still tickets left after the ARMY Member Presale, they’ll be up for grabs for anyone who gets a presale code for the General Verified Fan presale. That one’s also taking place from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time, but on March 2. At 3 p.m. local time the following day, March 3, any remaining tickets will be left for the public onsale.
How do I apply for the ARMY Member presale?
In order to register for the ARMY Member presale, you need to, well, be an ARMY member. The ARMY membership is available for purchase in the Weverse Shop, and currently costs $22. If you’re cool taking a risk by shelling out a bit of extra money to hopefully get a better chance at the tickets you want, go for it! Your membership is valid for 365 days from the date of purchase, and also gives you some other member-only benefits like the ability to purchase a Membership Kit, presales on some BTS merch in the Weverse shop, and the chance to apply for ARMY Member presales for possible future tours (because if Suga’s going on tour, someone else could be next!).
Once you have the membership, though — and this is the important part — you have to apply for the presale through both Weverse and Ticketmaster. The links to both application forms are included in Weverse’s official notice on ticketing for the Agust D Tour, so make sure you read the fine print. If you fill out only the Weverse application or only the Ticketmaster one, you may miss your chance to get a code because they won’t be able to verify your membership.
How do I apply for the General Verified Fan presale?
This one’s a bit easier — and free, thankfully. All you need to do is fill out Ticketmaster’s form for the General Verified Fan presale, which is linked on their website page about the tour. Like I said earlier, this presale’s happening a day later on March 2, so if there are tickets left and you get a code, you’ll find that out the night before.
