3. Venue & Transportation: How to get to Goyang Sports Complex

Goyang Sports Complex, where this concert will be held, is an outdoor stadium capable of accommodating a large number of people. Extreme traffic congestion is expected on the day of the concert, so it is highly recommended to use public transportation.

• Address: 1601 Jungang-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
• Subway: Line 3 Daehwa Station, then walk (approx. 10–15 mins)
• Bus: Get off at Daehwa Station or Goyang Sports Complex stop

🚗 Parking Information

There is parking space inside the Goyang Sports Complex, but due to the nature of BTS concerts attracting tens of thousands of spectators, it is 99% likely to be full in the morning. If you must drive, we recommend looking for nearby parking lots such as KINTEX, but exiting after the concert can take 1–2 hours, so using the subway is strongly recommended.

4. Important Note for International Fans

Since BTS are global superstars, many international ARMYs are expected to visit.

• Ticketing Platform: Tickets are sold exclusively via ‘NOL Ticket’. Please ensure your account supports international payments if you are purchasing from abroad.
• No Streaming: As mentioned, there is no online live streaming for this specific leg of the tour.
• ID Check: Strict ID checks are conducted at the venue in Korea. Please bring your Passport or Alien Registration Card that matches the name on the ticket.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Is there absolutely no online streaming (Delayed View, etc.) for this concert?

A1. Yes, according to current announcements, the ‘ARIRANG’ Goyang concert will proceed offline only. There are no plans announced for online live streaming via Weverse, etc. This decision seems to be made to focus more on the on-site audience and increase the rarity of the performance. Therefore, if you want to see the show, you must succeed in ticketing.

Q2. Can children under 9 years old enter if accompanied by a guardian?

A2. No, it is not possible. The age limit for this concert is 9 years and older. Children under 9 cannot enter the venue even if a guardian holds a ticket and accompanies them. Strict ID checks (Passport, Student ID, etc.) to verify date of birth may be conducted at the entrance, so please check the age requirements carefully.

Q3. I’ve never heard of ‘NOL Ticket’. Are there any precautions when booking?

A3. Since NOL Ticket is the exclusive seller, server traffic may be high.

• Pre-registration & Verification: Be sure to complete membership sign-up and mobile phone/identity verification before the ticket opening time.
• Disable Pop-up Blocker: You must disable your browser’s pop-up blocker in advance for the booking window to open properly.
• Payment Preparation: Setting up an app card or easy payment method in advance can save time. Please check if international credit cards are accepted on the global page.

Q4. What time should Sound Check ticket holders arrive?

A4. The Sound Check event usually takes place 3–4 hours before the main show starts. Therefore, Sound Check ticket holders need to arrive at the venue much earlier than general audience members. Exact gathering and entry times will be announced a few days before the concert, but ID checks and entry often start around 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM, so it is recommended to keep your schedule open for the whole day.

Q5. When are cancelled tickets released?

A5. It depends on the platform’s policy, but typically, cancelled tickets are released in bulk early in the morning the day after the bank transfer deadline passes. However, recently, to prevent fraudulent bookings, bank transfers may be restricted, or cancelled tickets may be released in real-time immediately. You must check NOL Ticket’s detailed regulations and, even if you fail initially, have the persistence to check the site frequently.
