BTS continues to show strong ticket sales attraction when continuously setting records at major stadiums in the US within the framework of the "Arirang" world tour.
According to the Billboard 30 concerts at stadiums in the US National Football League (NFL) chart announced on September 9 (local time), BTS holds the highest revenue record at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
In May, BTS held 4 concerts at Allegiant Stadium, attracting about 246,000 spectators and achieving revenue of 49.5 million USD (about 664 billion VND). This is the highest revenue level in stadium history since opening.
Notably, BTS once held a concert at Allegiant Stadium in 2022 and also set a record at this location. With new achievements, the group's two tours currently hold the first and second positions respectively in terms of revenue in stadium history.
At Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, BTS achieved revenue of 40.7 million USD (about 546 billion VND). Meanwhile, the figure at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough was 28.7 million USD (about 385 billion VND), and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore recorded 27.6 million USD (about 370 billion VND). All three of BTS's concerts were top in revenue at these stadiums.
At MetLife Stadium in New York, the group earned 31.8 million USD (about 427 billion VND), ranking third in the list of highest-grossing concerts at this venue.
The influence of "Arirang" is not only reflected in the revenue at each stadium but also reflected in international concert charts. On LIVE75, BTS holds the No. 1 position with an average of 72,004 tickets sold per concert in the last 6 nights at M&T Bank Stadium, Gillette Stadium and MetLife Stadium. This chart evaluates tours based on the average number of tickets sold in a month.
Meanwhile, Global Concert Pulse recorded BTS at the top with an average revenue of 12.7 million USD (about 170 billion VND) per concert in 18 shows in the last 3 months. This achievement is about 1.6 times higher than the average ticket sales per concert of Noah Kahan, Karol G and the Chris Brown & Usher duo, ranked in the following positions respectively.
These figures put BTS in the group of artists with the most outstanding concert revenue at NFL stadiums in the US, alongside big names like Beyoncé, country music legend George Strait and many other leading artists.
“Arirang”'s journey continues. On October 2nd, BTS will begin the South American leg in Bogotá, Colombia. After that, the group will successively go to Lima (Peru), Santiago (Chile), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and São Paulo (Brazil). A total of 14 concerts will be held in 5 cities.
The tour is expected to last until the first half of 2027, with performance venues in Japan and the Middle East expected to be added.
