38 shows, $465.8M, and a record that wasn't supposed to fall yet
$465.8 million in ticket sales. That's what BTS pulled in across 38 ARIRANG performances—enough to overtake Beyoncé's full-year world tour revenue record from last year. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour had set the previous benchmark at $407.6 million over 32 shows. BTS now sits at No. 1 in global tour ticket sales, with 2,314,140 audience members across all dates. Bad Bunny landed at No. 2 with $438.6 million from 3.1 million tickets sold. The figures come from Polstar's cumulative count through August 12, 2026.
Las Vegas alone: $66.6M in four nights
Four nights at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas tell their own story. May 23, 24, 27, and 28 brought in 245,691 attendees and $66.6 million in ticket sales. From there, the North America run moved through Arlington, Toronto, and Chicago before closing at Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium.
TWICE also made the Polstar ranking, landing at No. 6 globally with $157.3 million in tour ticket sales. Two K-pop acts in the world top 10 at the same time.
