BTS ARMY fans, take a deep breath. Parents of BTS ARMY fans, brace yourself for war because the moment we’ve been waiting for is officially here! BTS is bringing their World Tour to El Paso’s Sun Bowl Stadium and tickets go on sale TODAY!! Or at least for ARMY membership holders.
BTS will be making their way to El Paso’s Sun Bowl Stadium May 2nd and 3rd, and if you’re trying to secure your tickets you need to move fast because these tickets are for sure going to sell out within minutes, seconds even!
The ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE kicks off today, January 22nd, at 3 PM MST sharp. Now, if you try and get your ARMY membership today, you won’t be able to get tickets today unfortunately. And unfortunately, if you DIDN’T sign up for the presale AFTER you got your membership, you won’t be able to get presale tickets either. *CRIES IN SPANISH*

Your BTS World Tour Presale Survival Checklist
This presale is strictly for those who registered on Weverse by the Jan 18th deadline. Your 9-digit ARMY Membership Number (the one starting with “BA”) is your golden ticket. It acts as your access code, so copy-paste it into your notes now.
Ticketmaster was getting so many questions from fans regarding ticket sales so they decided to do a Q&A and shared the responses on their instagram page, but I’ll break it down for you on this Presale survival checklist.
The Essentials (Do These NOW)Copy your 9-digit Membership Number: It starts with “BA”. Keep it on your clipboard or a sticky note on your monitor.Verify your email sync: Does your Ticketmaster email match your Weverse email exactly? If not, the queue won’t let you in.Update Payment Info: Log in to Ticketmaster and make sure your credit card isn’t expired. You do not want to be typing in 16 digits while the timer is ticking.Check the Map: Familiarize yourself with the Sun Bowl Stadium seating chart. Have a “Plan B” and “Plan C” section in mind in case your first choice disappears.30 Minutes Before (2:30 PM MST)Sign In: Get logged into your Ticketmaster account on one device (using multiple devices on the same account can sometimes get you flagged as a bot!).Clear the distractions: Tell your boss, your mom, and your cat that you are unavailable for the next hour.Check your Wi-Fi: Ensure you have a stable connection. If you’re on a phone, make sure you’re not about to hit a “dead zone.”The Waiting Room (Starts ~2:50 PM MST)Join the Waiting Room: This usually opens 10–15 minutes before 3 PM.The Golden Rule: Once the clock hits zero and you’re in the queue, DO NOT REFRESH. The page will update on its own.During the SaleTicket Limit: Remember, there is a 4-ticket limit per show.Be Quick: Tickets aren’t yours until the “Thank You for Your Purchase” screen appears. Move through the checkout like your life depends on it.
