Overview
- Presales that began Wednesday produced huge virtual waiting rooms on Ticketmaster with queue numbers reported in the tens to hundreds of thousands for specific December dates.
- Within about 90 minutes of the June 3 presale opening, resale listings surfaced on X and Carousell with asking prices up to roughly five times face value for VIP and premium seats.
- The Singapore Police Force and the Consumers Association of Singapore have issued consumer advisories describing common ticket scams and have asked Carousell to remove unauthorised listings.
- Ticketmaster’s terms prohibit transfers or resale, the platform warns it will not email tickets, and authorities say resold tickets may be voided and buyers denied entry without refund.
- Demand is driven by BTS’s full‑group Arirang comeback and a four‑night Singapore run in December, a dynamic that is pushing fans to seek tickets, spurring travel plans, and increasing the risk of fraud before the June 5 general sale.
