If you ended up with extra BTS tickets — whether you bought for multiple cities, your group plans changed, or friends and family helped you out during the presale — here’s what you need to know about reselling them.
Why you can’t resell on Ticketmaster
If you’ve tried to resell your tickets on Ticketmaster, you’ve probably noticed the “Sell” button is greyed out. That’s not a glitch, Ticketmaster turned off their resale marketplace for all BTS Arirang Tour dates. This applies to every TM-primary venue on the NorAm tour.
For the two SeatGeek-primary venues (M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore and AT&T Stadium in Dallas), SeatGeek also turned off resale for those specific shows.
So if you bought through the ARMY presale or the general sale, your primary platform won’t let you resell directly.
What about transferring to a friend?
Transferring tickets to someone you know still works through Ticketmaster, you can send a transfer to any email address. But that only helps if you already have a specific person lined up and you’ve worked out payment separately.
A lot of fans on Reddit and Discord have been trying to do peer-to-peer sales this way, but it comes with real headaches: figuring out payments, trusting a stranger, dealing with Reddit karma requirements in buy/sell threads, and having no protection if something goes wrong.
How to list your tickets on StubHub
If you want to reach actual buyers without the hassle of arranging everything yourself, you can list on a secondary marketplace. Here’s how it works on StubHub:
- Go to stubhub.com and sign in (or create an account)
- Click “Sell” in the top nav
- Find your event: Search for the specific BTS Arirang Tour date and venue.
- Enter your ticket details: Section, row, seat numbers, and how many tickets you’re selling. Be accurate here, buyers are counting on getting exactly what’s listed.
- Set your price: You choose the price per ticket. StubHub will show you what comparable tickets are listed for so you can price competitively. You’ll also see your estimated payout after fees.
- Select your delivery method: For most BTS NorAm dates, this will involve transferring the tickets to the buyer through Ticketmaster. When your tickets sell, you’ll get instructions on how to complete the transfer.
- You’re listed: Your tickets are now available to buyers. When they sell, you complete the transfer and get paid.
A few things to know:
- You set the price. There’s no requirement to list above or below face value. If you want to sell at what you paid, you can.
- Buyers are protected. Every order on StubHub comes with a buyer guarantee, which means buyers are more willing to purchase because they know they’re covered if something goes wrong. That’s good for you as a seller — it means more trust and more buyers.
- You can edit or remove your listing anytime before it sells. Plans change again? Just pull it down.
- Fees. StubHub charges a seller fee that comes out of your payout. You’ll see the exact amount before you confirm your listing, so there are no surprises.
Why sellers like it
The biggest thing fans tell us they didn’t expect: how little you have to do after listing.
Once your tickets sell, you transfer them through Ticketmaster… and that’s it. StubHub handles everything else. All communication with the buyer, any questions they have about accessing their tickets, delivery confirmation, the whole thing. You don’t exchange messages with the buyer, you don’t coordinate meetups, you don’t chase anyone for payment. You transfer, you get paid.
Even better – pre-upload your tickets now. If you already know you want to sell, you can transfer your tickets to StubHub ahead of time instead of waiting for a sale. That way, when a buyer purchases, delivery happens instantly and there’s no scrambling to complete a transfer on a deadline. It also means your listing shows faster delivery to buyers, which makes it more attractive. To pre-upload, select that option when creating your listing and follow the transfer instructions right away.
Compare that to selling on Reddit or Discord: back-and-forth DMs, figuring out payment (Venmo? PayPal? who sends first?), no protection if the other person ghosts, and karma requirements just to post. Pre-uploading to StubHub and walking away is a lot less stressful.
FAQ
Can I sell just some of my tickets? Yes. If you bought 4 and only need 2, you can list the other 2.
What if my tickets are mobile-only? Most BTS NorAm dates use Ticketmaster mobile tickets. You’ll transfer them to the buyer through TM’s transfer feature when the tickets sell. StubHub will walk you through the steps.
Will Ticketmaster cancel my tickets if I resell them? Ticketmaster has cancelled some resale tickets for BTS events. StubHub’s buyer guarantee means the buyer is protected regardless. As a seller, list tickets you’re confident you can deliver.
Can I sell tickets I bought through the ARMY presale? Yes. Presale tickets are transferable the same way as general tickets.
I’m not a professional ticket seller, is this for me? Absolutely. A huge portion of BTS tickets on resale marketplaces are from fans in exactly your situation: extra tickets from the presale, plans that changed, friends who bailed. You don’t need any special account or setup.
