BTS is coming back to the Philippines. Two nights at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan – March 13 and 14, 2027 – as part of the ARIRANG World Tour. If you’ve been waiting for them to perform as a complete group since 2017, the wait is finally over.
The last time all seven members performed together in the Philippines was during The Wings Tour in Manila in May 2017. That was nearly a decade ago. What followed was a long hiatus while each member completed South Korea’s mandatory military service, and for years the fanbase didn’t know what a full-group comeback would look like.
The answer came in March 2026 in the form of ARIRANG, their sixth studio album, and their first as a complete unit in more than six years. The lead single “SWIM” skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 in April, which tells you how much the local fanbase has stayed strong and focused despite the hiatus. The ARIRANG World Tour kicked off on April 9, 2026, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea and has been making its way around the world since.
This is a complete guide for Philippine ARMY: what tickets cost, which presale you can still enter, how the new SM Ticketmaster platform works, and what to do when (not if) the site gets slow. General Onsale is June 11 at 11 AM.
When and Where is BTS ARIRANG in Bulacan?
The BTS World Tour ARIRANG concert will be held at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bocaue, Bulacan on March 13 (Saturday) and March 14 (Sunday), 2027. The venue is right next to the Philippine Arena.

BTS ARIRANG Ticket Prices in the Philippines
Four ticket tiers are available for both nights:
- VIP Soundcheck (Standing) = ₱25,000
- Floor Standing = ₱20,000
- Bleachers 1 = ₱13,500
- Bleachers 2 = ₱7,500
Bleachers 2 at ₱7,500 is the entry point – not cheap, but the most achievable for fans who can’t stretch to floor. Bleachers 1 at ₱13,500 gets you a better view while keeping the damage below ₱15,000. Floor Standing at ₱20,000 puts you closest to the stage, but you’re standing the entire show. Worth it for some people but exhausting for others, so better know your limits.
What’s Inside the VIP Soundcheck Package?
The ₱25,000 VIP Soundcheck isn’t just a seat upgrade. Here’s the full breakdown of what comes with it:
- One floor-standing ticket
- Access to the pre-show soundcheck party
- VIP laminate and lanyard
- Early entry into the venue
- Early access to the merchandise booth
- Exclusive VIP gift item
Early merch access is the practical win here. BTS concert merchandise sells out within the first hour at every major venue. Getting in before the general crowd is the difference between buying the item you wanted and spending the rest of the concert annoyed about missing it.
BTS ARIRANG Ticket Sale Schedule
The BTS ARIRANG ticket sale comes in three waves. Which one you can access depends on your membership status:
| Sale Type | Date | Time | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| ARMY Membership Presale | June 9, 2026 (Tuesday) | 11:00 AM | ticketmaster.ph |
| LNPH Presale | June 10, 2026 (Wednesday) | 11:00 AM | livenation.ph |
| General Onsale | June 11, 2026 (Thursday) | 11:00 AM | ticketmaster.ph |
Waiting rooms open at 10:30 AM for all three waves – thirty minutes before the actual sale begins. Be in there early. Your queue position isn’t held from the previous day; it’s assigned when the sale goes live.
One thing to flag: this is the first Philippine concert running through the new SM Prime and Ticketmaster joint platform. General Onsale goes through ticketmaster.ph, not SM Tickets. If you have an account on the old platform, create a new one on ticketmaster.ph now.
How to Buy BTS ARIRANG Tickets: Step-by-Step Guide
Method 1: ARMY Membership Presale (Earliest Access)
The Weverse registration window for this presale ran from May 22 to May 27, 2026. That window is closed, so this section is for those who registered in time.
- Open ticketmaster.ph on June 9, 2026 before 10:30 AM.
- Log into your Ticketmaster account – the one you linked during Weverse registration. Don’t try to log in at 10:59 AM; do it now.
- When the waiting room opens at 10:30 AM, enter it. The queue starts at 11:00 AM sharp.
- Search for BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN BULACAN and pick your date: March 13 or March 14.
- Select your ticket tier and the number of tickets. There’s a per-transaction maximum; you won’t be able to bulk-buy.
- Complete your payment. Save your card details to your Ticketmaster profile beforehand so that the checkout takes seconds.
- Check your email for the booking confirmation. Tickets are delivered digitally.
If you missed the Weverse registration window, proceed to Method 2 or Method 3.
Method 2: Live Nation PH Presale (June 10)
Open to anyone with a Live Nation PH account. Feel free to create an account at livenation.ph/register.
- Log into livenation.ph before 10:30 AM on June 10.
- Enter the waiting room at 10:30 AM.
- When the sale opens at 11:00 AM, search for BTS ARIRANG and select your preferred night.
- Choose your ticket tier and proceed to checkout.
- Complete your payment. Save your payment details ahead of time.
- Keep the confirmation email.
Method 3: General Onsale via SM Ticketmaster (June 11 – Open to Everyone)
No membership required. This is the wave most people will be going through.
- Go to ticketmaster.ph on June 11 and enter the waiting room at 10:30 AM.
- Make sure you’re already logged in. If you don’t have an account, create one before June 11.
- At 11:00 AM, the queue begins. When you reach the front, search for BTS ARIRANG and select your date.
- Pick your section and add to cart. Don’t walk away from the screen after this – tickets in your cart have a timer, and if it expires, they go back to the queue.
- Pay immediately. Use a saved card to minimize the time between cart and confirmation.
- Screenshot and save your confirmation. Tickets are delivered digitally.
My honest recommendation: use a desktop or laptop, not a phone. Ticketmaster’s queue works better on a stable browser, and the checkout flow is faster when you’re not squinting at a small screen. Have your payment method saved and have a backup payment method ready in case the first one declines. And if your bank has a daily online limit, call them before June 11 to raise it – ₱20,000 can trip a fraud flag on some accounts.
Common Issues When Buying BTS Tickets in the Philippines
The site slows down or errors out during the sale
Every major Philippine concert goes through this. Ticketmaster’s queue system is built for high-demand launches, but your browser and Internet connection still matter. Use a laptop over desktop, wired internet over WiFi if possible, and avoid opening multiple tabs or hitting the refresh button repeatedly. Refreshing doesn’t move you up – it can actually cost you your spot.
Payment fails at checkout
This is one of the worst things that can happen after a long queue wait. Do this before June 11: save your card on ticketmaster.ph, make sure that your billing details are correct, and check with your bank that your online transaction limit is high enough. Some Philippine banks have conservative daily limits on e-commerce purchases that will block a ₱20,000 charge without warning. A quick message to your bank’s app or hotline before the sale can prevent this.
Getting kicked out of the queue
If your Internet drops mid-queue, you lose your position. Mobile data as a backup connection is worth having ready, but don’t switch to it during the queue. Do it as a fallback only if your main Internet connection drops.
Unofficial resellers and inflated ticket prices
It will happen. Scalpers will list tickets above face value on social media and secondary markets within hours of the sale. Buying scalped tickets is risky because the organizer’s terms indicate that tickets resold for commercial purposes can be cancelled with no refund. Buy only through ticketmaster.ph or livenation.ph to prevent the possibility of being turned away at the gates.
