SINGAPORE - ARMYs hoping to catch BTS’ upcoming Busan concert on the big screen on June 13 had better act fast - tickets for live cinema screenings in Singapore are almost gone.

Checks by The Straits Times showed that only seats in the first three rows remain available for screenings at Shaw Theatres and Golden Village cinemas. Tickets for the concert viewing went on sale on May 28 and are priced at $55.

ST estimates that about 1,700 tickets have been sold across six screenings at Golden Village cinemas in VivoCity, Suntec City and Cineleisure.

Almost 600 of the tickets sold were for GVmax, Golden Village’s largest theatre. The cinema features a 22.4m-wide screen - roughly the length of two SBS buses placed end to end - giving fans a stadium-like viewing experience.

Another estimated 850 tickets have been sold across five screenings at Shaw Theatres cinemas in Nex, Jewel, Jem, Lido and Paya Lebar Quarter.

Dubbed their homecoming show, the concert is expected to be a poignant return on the group’s 13th anniversary. The concerts carry additional significance as Busan was the site of BTS’ final group performance before members began their mandatory military service in South Korea. Both shows sold out.

A spokesperson for Golden Village told ST that BTS has been one of the cinema chain’s strongest-performing live-viewing titles, though concert screenings featuring other artists have also drawn strong audiences.

She added that Golden Village previously screened the K-pop boy band’s Goyang and Tokyo concerts earlier this year.

A spokesperson for Shaw Theatres declined to reveal the amount of tickets sold but added that it was “quite successful” in terms of K-pop concert films.
