Frequently Asked Questions
When is the BTS concert in Chicago at Soldier Field in 2026?
BTS will bring their WORLD TOUR “ARIRANG” to Soldier Field in Chicago for two nights on August 27 and August 28, 2026. These shows are part of the second North American leg of the 2026–2027 world tour and mark BTS’s long-awaited return to Chicago after their last full-group stadium shows in 2019.
What time do the BTS concerts start at Soldier Field?
Both Chicago shows at Soldier Field on August 27 and 28, 2026, are scheduled to start at 8:00 PM local time. It is a good idea to arrive 60–90 minutes early so you can navigate traffic, parking or transit, security screening, and merch lines before the stadium fills and the pre-show visuals begin.
Where is Soldier Field located and how do I get there for the BTS concert?
Soldier Field is located on Chicago’s Museum Campus along the lakefront, just south of downtown, making it accessible from multiple directions by car and public transit. You can reach the venue via Metra or CTA trains and buses that serve the downtown/Lakefront area, or by parking in garages such as the Millennium Park and East Monroe garages and using shuttle services that operate directly to the stadium area on major event days.
How many BTS shows are there in Chicago during August 2026?
There are two BTS WORLD TOUR “ARIRANG” shows scheduled in Chicago, with concerts on Thursday, August 27, and Friday, August 28, 2026, at Soldier Field. This pair of lakefront nights gives fans a choice between a weekday or Friday experience and makes Chicago one of the key multi-night stadium stops on the North American leg.
How much do BTS Chicago 2026 tickets cost?
Ticket prices for BTS at Soldier Field vary widely by section, with some secondary marketplaces showing upper-level seats for the August 28 show starting around $1,249 including fees for select rows. Other listings and guides note that average prices for many sections sit in the mid-hundreds or higher, especially for lower-bowl, club, and floor seats, reflecting exceptionally high demand in the Chicago market.
What is the best way to get cheap BTS tickets for the Soldier Field shows?
To find more affordable tickets, compare prices for both Chicago dates and look for the night with the lower starting cost, as Thursday or Friday may end up slightly cheaper depending on demand. Use several ticket platforms, sort by lowest price and best value, and consider upper-level or corner sections that are often hundreds of dollars less than floor or central lower-bowl seats while still giving you a full view of the 360-degree stage.
Are there presales or ARMY MEMBERSHIP benefits for BTS in Chicago?
Yes, Chicago is included in the ARIRANG tour’s presale schedule, with ARMY MEMBERSHIP and other verified fan presales taking place before the general onsale date. Fans who register their membership and follow Ticketmaster’s verified fan process have the best chance of securing face-value tickets in the initial sale, which are usually cheaper than later resale prices.
How can I use presales and ticket strategies to save money on BTS Chicago tickets?
Joining ARMY MEMBERSHIP or verified fan presales and being online right when the queue opens greatly improves your chances of grabbing seats at the original price, especially in mid-range sections that balance cost and view. If you are buying later, keep checking prices in the weeks and days before the show, use deal-score tools to spot underpriced seats, and be flexible about section and date so you can pounce when a better deal appears.
What should I know about the stage and seating layout for BTS at Soldier Field?
The ARIRANG World Tour features a 360-degree, in-the-round stage, which Soldier Field’s event details highlight as a central part of the experience, placing BTS in the middle of the stadium and surrounding them with fans on all sides. This design means that many side and upper sections can still feel close to the action as the members move around the circular stage and extended runways, so you can often choose a more budget-friendly seat without losing much of the spectacle.
What should I know about parking, arrivals, and stadium policies for the BTS concert?
Soldier Field’s on-site parking lots are heavily used and some may be pre-sold or reserved, so many event guides recommend using remote garages like the Millennium Park or East Monroe garages and then taking dedicated shuttle buses to the stadium. You should also plan for typical stadium policies such as security screening, bag size limits, and mobile ticketing, and arrive early to leave time for shuttles, walking, and finding your gate so you are in your seat and ready when BTS take the stage at 8:00 PM.
