Can any K-Pop fan afford these TXT tickets?
May 6th, 2024 K-Pop fans were left in disbelief when ticket prices for TXT's ongoing world tour were spotted on resale platforms with astonishingly high price tags, reaching upwards of $1 million each. TOMORROW X TOGETHER, commonly known as TXT, launched their third world tour, ACT: PROMISE, in Seoul on May 3. The tour has scheduled performances across various major cities in the United States and Japan, with one of the key stops being Washington's Capital One Arena on June 8. Originally, tickets were sold for up to a few hundred dollars — which is typical for high-demand K-Pop concerts.

Adding in taxes and service charges, the total cost for these two tickets would exceed $2.6 million. The exorbitant listing, while likely unattainable, is just another example of a severe escalation in ticket scalping practices, particularly in the US market. ticketmaster adding £100+ onto the price of tickets when they're resale is so stupid, they're saying they're battling scalpers when they're literally scamming people theirselves? if ur not gonna allow us to directly transfer to each other then make it face value @Ticketmaster pic.twitter.com/eToa3xjOrM — rach (@tayillie) May 3, 2024 Following the initial shock, the reaction among TXT's fanbase and beyond has largely been a mix of humor and frustration. Fans have used social media to express their dismay and crack jokes about the ludicrous prices. However, the underlying dissatisfaction with the current state of ticket resales is hard to miss. anybody wanna see txt with me 🤭 going by myself and dont want to buy both 😩 pic.twitter.com/aXzLujnPM2 — 🪷 sangwoo's gf ♡⁺¹ SEEING PIWON (@lovelyyungi) May 5, 2024 My friend sent this to our gc and what do you MEAN a Section 200 TXT ticket is 1 million DOLLARS 🧍🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/YElD52dOP1 — kit 🍒🐻 | #1 Couprang and #1 Ribo (@cherryhaebear) May 5, 2024 The "million-dollar" incident is not the first time K-Pop fans have voiced their discontent over inflated concert prices, which often put live events out of reach for many genuine fans. The problem of ticket scalping has been a recurring issue in the entertainment industry (including the K-Pop scene), and it often results in legislative attempts to curb these practices. Yet, as demonstrated by the recent absurd TXT ticket prices, effective solutions are still needed to protect fans from predatory pricing and ensure that live entertainment remains accessible to all. why are people only talking about how expensive ateez tickets are and not txt or enhypen … like this is not a one group only thing, it's a kpop trend in general (not a good one) — ✶⋆.˚꩜ .ᐟ˙⋆✶ (@bythe9th) May 2, 2024 Meanwhile, the $1,030,000 USD tickets for TXT's show in Washington are still available on Ticketmaster, in case any "lucky" fans are looking to buy!
