TripleS, the popular K-pop girl group, has reduced the prices of its concert tickets due to the increasing costs associated with live events. Inflation has led to a sharp rise in the price of concert tickets in the industry, where tickets often exceed 200,000 won ($149). The group's new world tour, ANDLESS, begins at Jangchung Arena in Seoul on October 10 and 11.
The Seoul leg of the tour received significant attention because the group's agency, Modhaus, initially priced S-section tickets at 30,000 won. Concert ticket prices have been gradually increasing in recent years, as production values and staging have become more extravagant. Regular admission seats can now cost well over 100,000 won, while VIP seats at major K-pop agency shows often exceed 200,000 won.
In response to this trend, TripleS chose to lower the entry barrier to make the live concert experience more accessible to a wider audience, rather than offering a temporary discount. Modhaus attributed this decision to the importance of audience accessibility.
