As BTS's concert in Los Angeles, United States is almost a month away from now, the ticket resale price for some VIP seats has increased to millions of won.
BTS 'LA Concert 2021' Ticket Resale Price for VIP Seats Increases to 18 Million Won, according to The Fact
On Oct. 18, the Korean media outlet The Fact reported that VIP tickets for BTS's LA concert are being resold at millions of won.
The Fact said that Ticketmaster revealed that the price of concert tickets for "BTS Permission to Dance on Stage - LA" soared by at least three to four times and up to several dozen times as interest in resale.

Some VIP seats have raised their maximum price to 18 million won (approximately 15,000 USD). The original price for BTS's "LA Concert 2021" ticket ranges from a minimum of 88,000 won (roughly 75 USD) to a maximum of 53,000 won (450 USD) based on the classification of floor levels.
The reason VIP tickets are being resold at high prices is that cancelation is not allowed on Ticketmaster. For some platforms, ticket refunds can be requested within 72 hours after payment, but Ticketmaster in the United States doesn't work like this.
Instead of canceling tickets, there is a separate window for reselling the tickets on the platform.
In the case of BTS's LA Concert 2021, most tickets, especially for the VIP seats, would be resold for more than the original cost as it is an event of a global artist and it is the boy group's first offline concert in two years.
