Tickets for the Citi Field stadium stop in New York City for BTS’ Love Yourself tour have officially sold out.
Similar to their previous arena dates, tickets for the Kpop group’s New York City stadium show had sold out within a matter of minutes of going on sale.

It was recently reported that the Kpop group would become the first Korean act to perform a solo concert at a U.S. stadium with the addition of New York’s Citi Field to the Love Yourself tour for October 6, making the venue the final stop in the group’s North American leg.
The group joins the likes of Citi Field’s previous performers such as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and Paul McCartney. The U.S. stop marks a first for any Kpop group with the venue holding a capacity of an approximate 40,000 seats with selling out tickets within a matter of minutes being a feat a number of established U.S. artists struggle with.
Is this the fastest anyone has sold out @CitiField? I can’t even think of an American artist who can do this. K-Pop? No. @BTS_twt are the future of pop, period. #BTSCitifield
