    BTS “ARIRANG” World Tour: What to Know About the SoFi Stadium Concerts

    BTS is bringing its highly anticipated “ARIRANG” world tour to Southern California this week, with four concerts scheduled at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Thousands of fans are expected to attend as the K-pop superstars return to the road.

    The group has been touring since April in its first tour since 2022, following a hiatus during which members completed mandatory military service in South Korea.

    Excitement was already building Monday, as BTS ARMY fans lined up outside the Inglewood stadium for a chance to buy merchandise before the first concert.

    Here is everything fans need to know about the BTS concerts at SoFi Stadium.

    When is BTS performing at SoFi Stadium?

    BTS is scheduled to perform at SoFi Stadium on Tuesday, Sept. 1; Wednesday, Sept. 2; Saturday, Sept. 5; and Sunday, Sept. 6.

    Stadium gates open at 6 p.m., and the concerts are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Parking lots open at 8 a.m. on each event day.

    Are BTS tickets still available?

    The four SoFi Stadium shows are sold out through Ticketmaster. However, fans may still find tickets on resale platforms including SeatGeek, StubHub and Vivid Seats.

    Where can fans buy BTS merchandise?

    Fans had an early opportunity to buy merchandise Monday, but additional shopping opportunities will be available on concert days.

    Four exterior merchandise locations will be open from 10 a.m. until one hour after each show ends:

    • Lake Park Trailer, adjacent to Lot N
    • Lot K
    • Palm Grove, adjacent to Lot A
    • On the Greens, across from YouTube Theater

    According to the SoFi Stadium website, any pre-purchased merchandise must be carried in an approved clear bag or checked at the bag valet.

    Parking and transportation for the BTS concerts

    SoFi Stadium recommends purchasing parking in advance because on-site parking prices increase on event days.

    The venue does not allow re-entry, in-and-out privileges or overnight parking. Fans can also use INGLEWOOD PARK & GO remote parking locations, rideshare services or taxis.

    What can fans bring to SoFi Stadium?

    Guests attending the BTS concerts must follow SoFi Stadium’s clear-bag policy.

    Clear bags, backpacks and fanny packs are permitted as long as they do not exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches. Bags cannot have tint, holograms, printed patterns or stickers, and their contents must remain visible.

    Fans may bring multiple clear bags, including Ziplock bags that meet the size requirements. Small clutches measuring no more than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches are also allowed.

    NFL Honors BTS Members With Personalized Footballs Featuring Their Names and Chicago Concert Dates

    BTS’ two-night return to Chicago may be over, but the group appears to have left Soldier Field with personalized souvenirs commemorating their ARIRANG World Tour concerts.

    All seven members were reportedly seen with NFL-style footballs featuring their names and the dates of BTS’ Chicago shows. The unusual keepsakes surfaced online after the group attended soundcheck before its second concert on August 28.

    Personalized footballs commemorate BTS’ Chicago concerts

    Photos shared by fans appear to show individual red-and-white footballs customized for each BTS member. The designs feature “BTS: WORLD TOUR” across the white section, with “AUGUST 27 & 28, 2026” printed underneath. Each football also includes the name of one member.

    Although fans have speculated about where the items came from, the images provide a clear view of the personalized designs. One photo shows a member holding a football inside Soldier Field, while another offers a closer look at the lettering and concert dates.

    BTS’ first Chicago concerts in seven years

    The footballs arrived during a significant moment for BTS and its fans. The group performed at Soldier Field on August 27 and 28, marking its first Chicago concerts in seven years.

    More than 60,000 members of ARMY gathered at Soldier Field for the opening concert, with fans traveling from across the United States. BTS-themed meetups, merchandise lines and other fan activities also took place throughout Chicago during the concert weekend.

    The shows gave many fans the opportunity to see all seven BTS members perform together again after the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the group’s planned 2020 world tour. BTS’ subsequent hiatus also included the members’ staggered mandatory military service in South Korea.

    Chicago’s concerts highlighted the enduring connection between BTS and ARMY. Fans have frequently credited the group’s music and message with helping them through difficult periods, while BTS has addressed themes such as self-acceptance, mental health and personal growth.

    Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker recognized the occasion by declaring August 27 and 28 “BTS Days” in honor of the group’s global influence and its performances at Soldier Field.

    Against that backdrop, the customized footballs serve as fitting mementos of BTS’ Chicago return. They combine the group’s concert experience with a distinctive piece of American sports culture, while the individual names give each souvenir a personal connection to one member.
