Registration, memberships, Weverse shop – BTS ticket presales are confusing. Experienced fans share their expertise in videos so that no one goes away empty-handed.
The seven-member K-pop group BTS is back. After a four-year break, it is now clear: the new album ARIRANG will be released on March 20, 2026 and from April they will go on a world tour for almost a year. A total of 79 concerts are planned for the “BTS World Tour” – two of them in Germany. On July 11th and 12th, 2026, the band will perform in Munich’s Allianz Arena in front of up to 75,000 fans.
The announcement came as a surprise to the fan base – the so-called Army. Since then, they have been in a state of emergency, the joy about new music and the possibility of being able to see the K-pop stars live is huge, but so is the confusion about buying tickets. Tickets for both Germany concerts are limited and difficult to get hold of. Some fans now posted explanatory videos on social media to ensure equal opportunities among Army members.
The most important information about pre-sales, registration and membership
Ticketmaster presales take place in two phases: the regular presale and the ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE. The latter offers fans with membership crucial advantages. The ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE starts on January 22nd, 2026 at 1:00 p.m., two days before the regular presale. For everyone without a membership, this begins on January 24, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.
If you don’t want to miss the seven guys’ gigs, you have to register for the upcoming ticket sales. Membership can only be taken out via the Weverse shop – it is important to make sure that it is the GLOBAL MEMBERSHIP, where you can then prioritize three locations. Fans can choose from two memberships: one is the “regular membership” for 18.88 euros and the other is the “merch package membership” for an impressive 128.68 euros.
To participate in the presale, registration as an ARMY MEMBER must be completed by January 19, 2026, 12:00 a.m. The organizer points out that “a 9-digit ARMY MEMBERSHIP number (starting with BA) is required to activate ticket access”.
Editorial recommendations
Fans help fans
Despite the announced 360-degree stage, which allows a larger number of fans to get a ticket than other stage productions due to its constellation, tickets are limited. The requirements and rules for getting a ticket are more difficult than ever before – so help from fans with experience in the “ticket war” comes in handy:
The fan base seems to be relieved about the help in video format. In the comments section of the three clips you can read grateful answers such as “You’re a lifesaver, thank you! I was already panicking” or “I’m so grateful to you for all the videos, they help you so much.”
Other Army members express their frustration with the provider’s concept: “It’s pretty complicated that you can’t just buy normally. It’s making me upset again.” Some asked further questions about the process in their comments, which were answered by the creators of the video or other fans.
Another secret has been revealed – these details are now known about the new album
Their fifth studio album is titled ARIRANG, Weverse announced via a press release at 4 p.m. on January 15th. As a reminder: So far only the release date has been revealed, which is set for March 20, 2026. From Friday, January 16th, the record can be pre-ordered in many different versions.
