Overview
- BTS, which met President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday, greeted about 50,000 fans from the National Palace balcony in Mexico City.
- Three concerts at Estadio GNP Seguros on May 7, 9 and 10 are sold out, with more than 135,000 tickets sold and an estimated $107.5 million boost to the local economy.
- Mexico’s leader asked South Korea’s president to help add more dates in the country, and officials said the request was forwarded to HYBE, BTS’s management company.
- Ticket shortages drove steep resales, with StubHub listings near $13,000, and complaints led consumer authorities to press Ocesa and Ticketmaster Mexico for more transparency.
- Sheinbaum later teased a possible 2027 return for the group, which resumed touring in March after nearly four years off while members completed mandatory military service.
