In addition, the sales of merchandise from the concert would make BTS' earnings even higher. This is if every visitor purchased one purple "PTD On Stage - L.A." concert t-shirt, which is 34 dollars each. It can also be seen that ARMYs were holding BTS photo cards, ARMY balm, stationery, masks, hats, and lightsticks. The grand total of the sales from BTS' merchandise would be over six million dollars.
So, how much did BTS earn during the four-day concert in L.A.? It would approximately be 67.6 million dollars, adding the tickets of both face-to-face and online streaming and the merchandise.
BTS Ranks Second For Having the Biggest Box Office Concert in North America
With BTS' record of $33 million in ticket sales, the group ranks second in the history of concerts in North America. It is so far the biggest box office hit in 18 years since Bruce Springsteen performed at the Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 2003. Moreover, it is also the biggest ticket sales for a single venue in nine years since Pink Floyd's Roger Waters' concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2012.
Because of this, BTS ranked sixth on the global box score box office chart.
In total, BTS sold 2 million tickets for their 60 concerts and earned $256.9 million in revenue. Out of these, 751,864 tickets were sold for 31 performances in the US market alone, earning $113.6 million in revenue.
