ENHYPEN’s U.S. tour announcement has left fans reeling from ticket price shock. The pre-sale revealed that even the cheapest seats began at $140 USD, with VIP tickets reaching $700 USD before taxes.
Fans Voice Discontent
ENGENEs, the group’s fans, were stunned by these prices. They quickly realized that even high-priced GA tickets wouldn’t ensure a good view without early arrival. This sparked discussions on the value for money, especially with VIP tickets offering limited benefits and lacking a sendoff event, leading to ticket resales by disappointed fans.
BELIFT LAB reported that general sales would start on February 15 on Weverse.

Dynamic Pricing Concerns
HYBE’s strategy of dynamic pricing, adjusting ticket costs based on demand, has driven up prices. Despite HYBE’s justification that this model supports artists with high demand, it has faced backlash for prioritizing profit over fan accessibility.
“Dynamic pricing applies to all our U.S. performances, including Suga and TXT,” HYBE explained, stressing the sell-out potential of their artists. This stance has raised alarms about future concert costs, particularly for global stars like BTS.
The Debate Continues
The uproar over ENHYPEN’s ticket prices underscores the ongoing debate between fair pricing and market demand in the music industry. As this conversation unfolds, fans and artists alike are navigating the complex dynamics of live music pricing.
