It is a dream of many people to experience a K-pop concert at least once in their life. Whether it is BTS or Blackpink, K-pop artists and bands have amusing concerts. International fans must wait years for their favourite idols to visit their country. Are you planning to go to a K-pop concert? Chances are you must worry about getting a ticket, knowing the schedule, and planning the big day. This article is curated to help you plan the K-pop concert right from ticketing to reaching the venue.
Here Is The Complete Guide To K-pop Concerts:
-
Booking Your Tickets
K-pop concerts are in very high demand, and people wait for months to book their tickets. You need to prepare yourself for ticketing fully. Firstly, keep yourself updated about the booking process. If you book tickets for another country, search if the website has English or your native language. Start saving money several months before the concert so you can pre-register for the tickets, especially if you dream of VIP seats. Go through the information provided on the website beforehand. Check if the website accepts the mode of payment and your card. Also, don’t forget the daily limit on transactions for your card. Trust me, you don’t want to go through the chaos of daily limits when booking tickets.

Plan Ahead Of Your Day
It may not be that the concert you are going to is in your city. If that is the case, research about the city you are going to. Look for the public transportation used there to find out how you will reach the venue. Search for roads that may experience high traffic and if there are any routes to reach the place. Also, book your tickets for that city according to the schedule of the concert.
There can be train or flight delays, and you don’t want to miss the K-pop concert (when you have already put half of your savings into it). Also, decide beforehand how you are going to come back once the concert ends. The city might be new for you, so consider your security.
-
Search About The Venue
One thing you definitely want to do is search more about the venue of the concert. Every venue or concert hall has a different policy. Know what you can take inside the hall and the prohibited items. Concert halls may share a map with you with detailed information about the venue and the security installed. If you are confused about anything, contact customer care or the venue staff and clear out your query. Fans may also carry banners inside the venue, and if you are planning to do that as well, check out if there are any restrictions on the size of the banner.
-
Memorise The Fanchants
Now we come to the experience of K-pop concerts. You must have seen videos of fans chanting the names of the members of K-pop bands. If you want to have a truly mesmerising experience, make an effort to learn the fan chants. You can find these easily on Instagram reels or YouTube. Who wouldn’t want to share these chants with fellow fans of your favourite band?
-
Take Some Money For The Merchandise
Yes, you have already spent a lot on the ticket and transportation. But trust me, you will automatically want to buy something once you reach the venue and see the merch. Maybe the tote bag that would go with your so-and-so outfit, or the shirt that you saw your favourite artist wearing, or other cute merch you cannot resist. So, it is always better to carry extra money.
Keep in mind that there is a huge line at the merch stores, and if you want to buy something, you should try to reach the venue in time to get your hands on it. Even if that is not the case, you will find something for yourself once you reach there.
-
Be Ready To Stand In Line
You must stand in line for a long time if you have bought standing tickets. It can be exhausting, so we would advise you to eat something before coming, wear comfortable shoes and outfit, and keep a water bottle with you. Trust me, you don’t want to stand in that queue in heels or uncomfortable clothing.
-
Look Out For Fan Projects
Before any K-pop concert, fans usually hold projects where they vote on the banners to take and other ideas to have a wonderful experience at the concert. Search on Instagram and other social media platforms to take part in these.
Conclusion-
Lastly, do not forget to have an exciting experience at the concert. It is your day; live and sing to the fullest. Take pictures, shout your heart out, but also be mindful of others in the concert. K-pop concerts can be crowded, so do not forget to be kind and help people!
