BIGBANG Ticket Prices Spark Fan Fury and Boycott Calls
BIGBANG is facing backlash over ticket prices for their upcoming 2026 World Tour stop in Goyang. Fans are questioning the steep costs, especially for wheelchair-accessible seats.
The controversy began when ticket prices were revealed. Standing VIP tickets are priced at ₩275,000 KRW (about $181 USD). Floor R seats cost ₩253,000 KRW (about $166 USD), R seats are ₩242,000 KRW (about $159 USD), Floor S seats go for ₩231,000 KRW (about $152 USD), S seats at ₩198,000 KRW (about $130 USD), and A seats are ₩154,000 KRW (about $101 USD).
What really sparked outrage was the price of wheelchair seats. Listed under the R-tier, these seats are set at ₩242,000 KRW (about $159 USD), making them one of the most expensive options.
Fans quickly reacted online, especially on Korean community TheQoo, criticizing the pricing. Comments included:
“No one should go, please, I’m begging”
“They have no conscience”
“Why are wheelchair seats that expensive?”
“It’s expensive, but is that wheelchair seat price even appropriate? That looks the most shameless to me”
“Wow, that’s expensive”
“What’s going on with the wheelchair seat price”
As the situation unfolded, many fans expressed frustration given BIGBANG’s long hiatus and the high expectations for their return.
Whether this backlash will affect ticket sales remains unclear. BIGBANG still commands a huge fanbase, and demand is expected to stay strong. However, the debate over accessibility seat pricing is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
