BTS concluded its three-night run in São Paulo on Saturday, leaving Brazilian authorities with lingering questions. The ARIRANG World Tour, scheduled to continue through March 2027 across 34 cities, featured its final show at the MorumBIS football stadium on Oct. 31. The Oct. 28, 30, and 31 dates were the only Brazilian dates for the tour.
Ticketmaster sold out all three shows, with projections of around 84,000 fans per night and a capacity of 84,458 per venue. The group's last appearance in Brazil was in May 2019, with two shows at Allianz Parque. This tour marked their return to group activity after solo projects and military service in South Korea. The São Paulo state Military Police maintained a security operation, BRAvO, around the stadium since Oct.
27. Fans reported issues on the opening night, including long queues, ticket validation difficulties, and a gate that remained closed for an hour. A storm caused traffic problems, further complicating access. The Brazilian consumer protection agency, Senacon, suspended five resale platforms as a precaution, citing potential collective damage and initiating proceedings against four of the five, excluding Viagogo International.
Procon-SP recorded 518 complaints against Live Nation Brasil, primarily regarding the show structure. The Brazilian reviews focused on ticket resale and staging, not the band itself. The North American leg of the tour began in Tampa, Florida, on April 25 and concluded in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium in early September. No official attendance figures or incident details for the Oct.
31 show have been released, and the outcome of Senacon's suspension and Procon-SP's notification to Live Nation are still pending.
