In the wake of the first day of presales for one of the most highly anticipated concerts of the year by K-pop superstars BTS, platforms like Carousell and social media app X are seeing resellers and interested buyers move quickly as demand for tickets surges.
Fans in local ARMY group chats have been actively flagging listings on Carousell offering BTS concert tickets at inflated prices – several times their original price – with some sharing screenshots of posts and coordinating reports in an effort to have them taken down.
CNA Lifestyle observed several resale listings on Carousell earlier in the afternoon, including one offering four VIP tickets for S$5,000 and another at S$6,688 for four VIP tickets. These and many other listings seen throughout the day quickly became unavailable to view and seem to have been taken down at the time of writing.
This comes after the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in an advisory ahead of presales that it had reached out to Carousell to remove ticket listings for BTS' upcoming Arirang concert in Singapore.
CNA Lifestyle has reached out to Carousell for comment.
