However, the biggest news that seems to be dividing fans is BigHit’s plan to implement a lottery system for BTS concerts, including ones overseas. In their past tours, BTS fans were able to just buy tickets from Ticketmaster without having to sign up for a lottery. Now fans will have to be a member of the BTS official fan club, which is currently $30 plus shipping and comes with all kinds of goodies and exclusive content!

Soompi reports that BigHit’s co-CEO, Yoon Seok Jun confirmed the news saying, “The ticketing lottery system will gradually be used for overseas tours to improve fans’ experiences.” It was previously used in BTS’s recent events in Korea”.
According to fans on Twitter, the current lottery system only affects early access seats and floor seating. Even though they are implementing the system as a way to combat scalpers but some fans aren’t happy with the news:
