There Are Still BTS Lightsticks Available: Here’s Where To Buy Online
Lightsticks are especially hard to get if you don't know where to look.
BTS' ARIRANG album release on March 20 sparked a surge in demand for the group's merchandise, causing popular items to sell out almost immediately. Among these items, the BTS Version 4 official lightstick gained particular attention. Initially, the lightstick sold out at Target, the retailer responsible for the partnership, but it is now available from other online marketplaces such as StockX and Amazon.
The original price at Target was $69, but due to the high demand, third-party sellers are driving the price up. On StockX, the lightstick is listed at $66, while Amazon's list price is over $80. Despite this, ARMY (BTS fans) will still be able to purchase the lightstick in time for the remaining 2026 ARIRANG tour. The BTS official lightstick is a light-up wand that corresponds with the group, featuring a clear bomb-shaped head and BTS' logo on the inside.
Fans use their lightsticks at concerts to cheer for their idols, synchronizing the lightstick's movements to the music with fellow fans. As K-pop continues to gain popularity in the U.S., more retailers are starting to sell official lightsticks from various groups, including Stray Kids, ATEEZ, TWICE, aespa, and, of course, BTS. However, for now, StockX and Amazon are the best places to find BTS' official lightstick.
