 All right guys, so today is February 7th. So what exactly is so special about February 7th? Well today at 4pm the tickets go on sale for the most anticipated concert tour of all time from a Korean artist and that is BTS Map of the Soul. As you probably know, no act in Korean history has been as anticipated and as hyped as BTS and BTS concert tour tickets have been notorious for being how hard they are to purchase. BTS's tour last year sold out in about 90 minutes. That's insane. So today we're about to go into behind the scenes on what it really takes to buy tickets for BTS. Is it really as hard as they say it is? I guess we'll find out. We're here buying BTS tickets and we have what is this five, six, seven different laptops, eight different phones. So why do we need so many devices? This is a general sale. So we had two free sales and one was on Wednesday and then the other was yesterday. So this one's the general sale where everyone can go in. So there's probably maybe a couple hundreds of thousands of people trying to get BTS tickets and it's all my luck because you get put into the queue as soon as 4 o'clock hits which this is like counting down. So once 4 o'clock hits we're all going to be sent into a queue randomly. So we don't know how like which group we're going to be put in or when we're going to be able to go in and grab the tickets. Therefore we need as many devices as possible so somebody here is lucky enough to get into one of the first groups to get in to grab their fast tickets. I'm so stressed. Okay so the reason we need so many people and so many devices is yes there are lots of BTS fans but actually the main reason why all of these tickets sell out so fast is because there's like thousands and thousands of scalpers out there. They just run a program on their computer that automatically buys up tickets or there's people that just buy tickets for the sake of reselling them. They don't actually have like any intention of going to the concert which is why all these tickets run out so fast which is why we need so many people and so many devices just to get concert tickets. You can break the process into four stages. The first is the waiting room. Here we will wait. We're put into a room full of thousands if not millions of other hopeful buyers and we all wait until 4pm in which we enter the second stage of the process. Now if you are in the waiting room when 4pm hits we enter what's called the queue. Every person and device is randomly assigned a number and this could range anywhere from five thousandth in line, ten thousand in line, one hundredth thousand in line to maybe even first. Now this process can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour. When we finally walk up to the front of the line we reach stage three seat selection. Here you choose your section and your seat which will probably be stolen from you as soon as you click it. Now if you are one of the select chosen and lucky few to reach the final boss we enter the order screen. Here we input our payment information and hopefully secure our tickets but with the insane high volume of buyers anything can happen for a server that's only meant to accommodate a fraction of them. Well good luck army. When we're in the waiting room right now we yeah we're just we're just sitting here until four o'clock hits. At four o'clock we're all everyone that's in the waiting room will be put into a queue queue line to get into the ticketing page. Okay. Which has the map of the Rose Bowl or the stadium that we're want to go to and then where we can select seats. And what what seats are we trying to get? So we're trying to get the side so we're going to set a limit like right between four and five and then right between nineteen and eighteen because which we can aim for the center but then we'll be far. Okay. We want to get the sides so we can be the closest and we can still see both stages. Why don't you want anything on the floor? On the floor it's gone. It's already gone. It's already gone at the pre-sale. You heard it. We're going to get floor seats today. What happens if you don't get tickets? Don't talk to me. I don't want to have my expectations too high. This is too stressful for me. Wait, why do we need 1200? Because we're trying to aim three tickets and we're aiming for floor tickets. There are at least 300. At least the soundcheck ones. So. So you guys are trying to get soundcheck. We're just. Yes. That is the dream but we'll see. Okay. So each ticket is supposed to be at least three hundred dollars. So we need a thousand two hundred dollars in our bank account. Ten minutes. Ten minutes. No, I don't feel anything. Ten minutes. Yeah. Like when the concert started I needed to use the bathroom but I just held it in for the whole two hours because like if I leave the floor my spot's gone. Like the bathroom? Yes. So long. Oh wait floor is not like no. Stadium it's bi-section because it's so big but if it's not stadium then it's just like. It's first come first serve. Yeah. So people will camp like a week. Yeah. It was at this moment. Kory discovered the true nature of army. Five minutes. Mina. Five minutes. One minute. One minute. Right. So whoever gets in the room. Ten seconds. Ten seconds. Seven. Six. Two thousand people in front. Where are we? Where are we dropping boys? It's not moving. Stella why isn't it moving? Because there's so many people in front of us. Yo tell your little man to run faster. Yo we need to we need to upgrade your mantu with same both status. I think Stella's gonna have to take Stella's place. I don't think she's calm enough to get tickets. She's not even trying. Hundred seats left. There's one section left. I know. Oh my gosh. Just get it. Just get it. We submitted the credit card too many times so it just canceled it. I think that's the timer until I lose the ticket. Yeah that's your challenge. Yeah. So you got you got four minutes and 12 seconds until you lose your tickets. I hate this. So we got three computers trying to get tickets at the same time. It's just because we got more threes. And none of them are getting in. Okay okay okay. That's it. They're all out. They got completely sold out. Still will happen. We didn't get any tickets. All right so it's six o'clock which means we have been trying since three o'clock for the last three hours to get BTS tickets. And unfortunately we were unsuccessful. And sometimes that's the reality of buying tickets like this. You know I mean any major artist but especially for BTS because they have such a big fandom it's hard to get tickets and add that to the fact that there are thousands and thousands of resellers thousands of scalpers. You know people who aren't looking to go to the concert but they're looking to make a profit. You know there's thousands of them they just snag up these tickets and then they sell them at three times four times the price. And they're just purring off the emotion of desperate armies and desperate fans. And it's it's hard to compete against these resellers and it's hard to compete against these scalpers because oftentimes it's not even an actual human being that are buying these tickets. They got programs and computers that are running scripts that buy these tickets for them. And I would wager you know probably 60 to 70 percent of all the tickets sold are probably scalpers and resellers. And yeah because we didn't get these tickets unfortunately the only option is is either to go to a reseller and to buy these tickets for three times four times the price. Yeah these people it's it's kind of shameless it's kind of despicable actually. And then they sell them to desperate fans you know whose mentality is like oh you know this is the last time I'm going to be able to see ot7 so I'm going to drop whatever it takes. And here's the sad part is that people will actually drop that amount of money. And so these scalpers these resellers are just preying off the emotion of these fans preying off the emotion of these fans that desperately want these tickets and it's it's kind of sad actually. I feel like that's kind of selfish because these people have no intention of going to see BTS you know they're not fans they're they're trying to do this for a quick buck. These tickets are meant to be for army and these tickets are meant to be for BTS fans the people that have supported them throughout the years. Not people behind a computer running a script.
