BLACKPINK's World Tour Announcement

BLACKPINK has recently unveiled its much-anticipated world tour schedule for 2025, igniting excitement among fans, also known as BLINKs. However, the euphoria quickly turned into disappointment as ticket prices for their Goyang concert hit shocking levels, leaving many fans questioning their financial commitment.

Ticket Prices Breakdown

The ticket prices have been laid out as follows:

- BLINK: ₩275,000 KRW (approximately $187 USD) - BLACK: ₩242,000 KRW (around $165 USD) - PINK: ₩209,000 KRW (close to $142 USD) - R: ₩209,000 KRW (around $142 USD) - S: ₩176,000 KRW (approximately $120 USD) - A: ₩154,000 KRW (about $105 USD) - B: ₩132,000 KRW (roughly $89.70 USD)

Fan Reactions

The sudden increase in ticket prices has sent shockwaves through the fan community, many of whom are now expressing grave concerns about the implications this might have on the industry as a whole.

One fan shared their apprehension on social media, stating, “I’m worried that my favorite groups will jack up their prices after seeing this.” Another frustrated fan chimed in, “This is just ridiculous. I was planning to go, but this isn't happening anymore.”

Interestingly, some fans noted that the price difference wasn’t as steep as they initially thought. “I remember paying ₩260,000 KRW (approximately $177 USD) back in 2022, so while it’s a bit higher now, it’s not a huge jump—which is surprising,” remarked one fan.

However, the potential cascading effect of these prices is a concern for many. “If this becomes the standard, it’s going to influence other concerts to increase their ticket prices too… don’t they understand the concept of moderation?” questioned another fan.

Concerns About Concert Experience

Moreover, some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the prospect of a shorter concert duration, with typical performances lasting around an hour and a half. One concerned attendee pointed out, “If the show is delayed, how can they justify these ticket prices?”
