Where to Find Tickets
If you’ve not yet bought tickets to see your favorite K-pop artists and all the original tickets have sold out, try resale sites such as Ticketmaster, StubHub and TickPick. Otherwise, look on Facebook Marketplace or fan forums to find private sellers.
If you’re looking for tickets closer to the concert date, you might enjoy cheaper prices since sellers will be looking to get rid of them last minute. You can sometimes find K-pop concert 2023 tickets sold outside the concert venue, too, but this is a risky technique if you show up and nobody is there.
It’s worth asking around on social media, too. You never know—your old friends from high school might be looking to get rid of a couple of tickets for a concert they can no longer attend. Good luck!
