The K-pop band quickly sold out each of its four shows set for Allegiant Stadium next month. (Image: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ticketmaster announced yesterday that the four BTS Las Vegas shows are sold out. Only members of BTS&#8217; &#8220;Global Official Fanclub Army&#8221; were allowed to purchase tickets for the April 8, 9, 15, and 16 shows during the presale.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Due to overwhelming demand during today\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bts_bighit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BTS_BigHit<\/a> BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB ARMY MEMBERSHIP Presale, all tickets for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AllegiantStadm?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AllegiantStadm<\/a> shows have been purchased. All shows are now sold out. There will not be a General Verified Fan Presale or General Public Onsale.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ticketmaster (@Ticketmaster) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ticketmaster\/status\/1499244478460137473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BTS has one of the largest fan clubs in the world. An annual basic membership to the &#8220;Army&#8221; costs 25,000 KRW (US$21). For BTS fans who weren&#8217;t fortunate enough to secure tickets for the Allegiant stadium concerts, the coveted seats are already relisted for resale on third-party exchanges like StubHub.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>As of this morning, the cheapest prices for the April 8 performance are $275 per ticket, plus taxes and fees. Field-level seats begin at $5,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Allegiant Stadium accommodates 65,000 people for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-super-bowl-expected-to-deliver-500m-economic-impact\/\">Las Vegas Raiders games<\/a>. The BTS setup with the stage at one end zone reduces the total capacity by around 25 percent, as seats behind the stage were never made available.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Regional Boom<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Few music acts could sell out four nights at Allegiant Stadium in such a swift manner. BTS&#8217; arrival next month will pay off for the Las Vegas economy as a whole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The roughly 200,000 seats sold by BTS represent only a fraction of the visitors who will arrive in Southern Nevada during the Friday-Saturday, back-to-back weekend engagements. Many BTS fans are underage, and will therefore be traveling with parents or chaperones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\">Las Vegas casino hotel room rates have soared for the BTS weekends. A two-night stay April 8-10 at Wynn is advertised for $1,919, inclusive of taxes and fees. The Venetian\/Palazzo runs $1,579, and Bellagio $1,574. Even the casino resorts that are typically a bit kinder to the wallet are demanding steep rates. Luxor is asking $1,450 all-in for the two nights, Excalibur $1,257, Treasure Island $900, Rio $792, and Circus Circus $675.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Southwest, the largest airliner at Harry Reid International, has greatly increased airfare for dates surrounding the BTS shows. The airline&#8217;s &#8220;Wanna Get Away&#8221; tickets have almost entirely been blacked out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A roundtrip direct flight from Baltimore to Las Vegas from April 8 to April 10 will cost more than $1,600.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Pre-Sales Selling Out<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">BTS fans grabbing up the entire allotment of tickets for the shows is the latest in a growing trend surrounding Ticketmaster presales. Adele fans for her since-canned Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/adele-caesars-rolling-in-the-dough-las-vegas-residency-begins\/\">sold out each of her 24 shows<\/a> prior to Ticketmaster opening up the general public sale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>For those solely focused on profiting from the in-demand concerts, joining an artist&#8217;s fan club like BTS is well worth the investment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Paying around $20 to become a BTS &#8220;Army&#8221; member and gain access to the Las Vegas tickets prior to the public is a no-brainer for scalpers. Ticketmaster limited each member to four presale tickets. But of course, scrupulous individuals can easily circumvent that supposed safeguard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Korean boy group BTS is coming to Las Vegas.
