Accordingly, Blackpink will open the tour with 2 concerts held at Goyang Sports Complex, Seoul, Korea on the evening of July 5-6, 2025.
Blackpink opens 7 ticket sales. The highest ticket class is Blink with a selling price of 275,000 won (about 4.8 million VND). The Black series costs 242,000 won (about 4.3 million VND). The Pink and R ranges cost the same amount of 209,000 won (about 3.7 million VND).

It is not yet known what benefits the 275,000 won Blink ticket will give to fans. Normally, Blackpink's highest-priced tickets will come with privileges such as participating in a sound check, receiving special items, and having the opportunity to meet Blackpink in person behind the scenes.
Blackpink concert ticket prices in Korea quickly became a hot topic. The post updated ticket price information on theqoo online community attracted 64,000 views and nearly 900 controversial comments on April 8.
Many opinions say that Blackpink's ticket prices are too expensive. This not only makes the group's fans spend more money, but can also become a factor that motivates other artists and companies to increase concert ticket prices to higher levels.
Korean audiences commented: "Why is it so expensive?", "I want to go but it's really too expensive", "Students and low-wage fans can't see their idols", "It's towards 300,000 won?", "If you go from rural areas, VIP seats will cost nearly 400,000-500,000 won"...
I was afraid that my favorite band would increase in price after seeing this, If they offered this price, other concerts would start following. Don't they know that everything has to be fair?...
Some comments mentioned Jennie's recent solo concert in Korea. Jennie also caused controversy for selling tickets ranging from 143,000 won to 220,000 won for a performance lasting only 75 minutes.
According to Topstar news, when considering the ticket prices of Korean artists who have held concerts at Goyang Stadium, Blackpink's ticket prices are clearly higher.
The most expensive ticket price for Seventeen's concert held last October was 198,000 won, the cheapest was 132,000 won. G-Dragon's concert that just took place at the end of March had ticket prices ranging from 154,000 won to 220,000 won.
However, there are also opinions defending Blackpink. They said that the group's ticket prices have not increased much compared to 3 years ago. In 2022, Born Pink concert sold the highest ticket price at 264,000 won.
On the other hand, Blackpink's return to a full lineup after 3 years is an important milestone that fans around the world are waiting for. Not only Korean fans, but Blackpink's global fan community will "hunt" for tickets to go to Korea to watch the concert. Therefore, even if ticket prices increase, the battle for tickets is still fierce.
Some other fans complained about Blackpink's performance time. According to the announcement, the concert on July 5 will start at 8:00 p.m., and on July 6 will start at 7:00 p.m.
Meanwhile, Goyang Stadium is near a residential area, so the events must end at 10pm. Therefore, the audience is concerned that the concert starting at 8pm is too late, and the concert may be shortened if there is an unexpected incident such as the postponement of the program.
Previously, many artists organizing concerts here usually started performing at 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.
