While BTS has returned to the stage for three shows in Seoul this week, those who can’t make it to Seoul can still catch the action.
The K-pop superstars performed the first of the BTS Permission to Dance on Stage – Seoul shows on Thursday (March 10) and will continue the rest on March 12-13 at Seoul Olympic Stadium in front of a live audience. The March 10th and March 13th dates will be streamed live online for ARMY members unable to attend the shows in person, while the March 12th performance will stream to cinemas around the world for “live viewing” events will.
Trafalgar Releasing will host two Saturday performances of BTS Permission to Dance on Stage – Seoul to approximately 700 screens in the US and Canada and an additional 3,000 screens worldwide. Despite the title, some of these “live viewing” experiences, including those in North America, will not be live but will be delayed on tape due to the time difference. Tickets cost $35. (Check to see if your local theaters are participating in the broadcasts here.)
Performances begin 15 minutes prior to the actual concert time to ensure a smoother experience. They will only be available in Korean, with no subtitles in other languages. Depending on theater policies, fans may still be able to bring their official ARMY BOMB lightstick to feel like they’re right there in Seoul.

Last fall, BTS held a mini residency at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, where tickets for all four nights sold out instantly and set the highest-ever Billboard boxing score in California. According to Billboard Boxscore, the 2021 SoFi Stadium Run brought in a mammoth profit of $33.3 million with 214,000 tickets sold. It’s the largest gross for a series of shows at a single venue since 2012, when Roger Waters grossed $38 million from nine shows at the Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
