As BLACKPINK’s 2025 world tour dates were announced, online reaction has been heated over ticket prices surpassing 270,000 KRW.

On April 8, YG Entertainment revealed BLACKPINK’s upcoming tour schedule, beginning with concerts on July 5 and 6 at Goyang Stadium. Pre-sales will run from May 8 to 11 exclusively for members of the official fan club, “BLINK Membership,” while general ticket sales will open on May 15.

The top-tier “BLINK” seats are priced at 275,000 KRW, placing them among the most expensive tickets in K-pop history. Other ticket tiers include “Black” at 242,000 KRW, “Pink” and “R” at 209,000 KRW, “S” at 176,000 KRW, “A” at 154,000 KRW, and “B” at 132,000 KRW. While the exact seating layout has not been released, the pricing appears to be based on section proximity.

To access the pre-sale, fans must pay an additional 25,000 KRW for fan club membership via the designated platform. As a result, some fans have expressed frustration over the growing financial burden of attending concerts.

During Jennie’s solo concert at Inspire Arena in Incheon last month, the most expensive “Ruby” seats were priced at 220,000 KRW. Despite the inclusion of various benefits, there were complaints about the stage setup and concert delays.
