ENGENEs were shocked by the ticket prices, which were higher than ever. They pointed out that the highest-priced ticket would actually be General Admission. So, even if you paid that much, you’d have to camp out to some extent if you want a good spot.

ENGENEs also came to realize that the VIP tickets are not just GA. They also don’t include many benefits. There will be crowd-free merchandise shopping, soundcheck, and VIP merchandise, but no sendoff. Some fans are so disappointed by the lack of benefits for the high price that they’re reselling their tickets already.
enhypen vip concert tickets being ga and $400-$700 is actually crazy girls are going to riot in the floor it’s not gonna be a fun time… everyone’s gonna think “they paid” so they will do wtv it takes to be closer even if they queued later and all that… booooo standing

This year’s unbelievable prices are due to dynamic pricing, which HYBE previously stated all its groups would join. Dynamic pricing is when companies allow ticket vendors, such as Ticketmaster, to increase the prices of tickets depending on demand. Unfortunately, boycotts are the only resolution to stop companies from partaking in this corrupt practice.
We currently do apply dynamic pricing to the US market for performances by Suga and TXT. If any of our other artists do perform in the US, the same dynamic pricing will apply. Basically, to be able to apply this scheme, you have to have sell-out ticketing power and we think that all of our artists have that. It could apply to them if they are performing in the US.

@myantacademia with hybe’s dynamic pricing & ticketmasters ridiculous hidden fees, kpop concerts are only gonna get more expensive but we as fans can easily change this!!! if jype can afford to not do dynamic pricing hybe can too! #enhypen #enha #txt #seventeen #lesserafim #fatetour #hybe #kpop #kpopconcert #ticketmaster #bts
Knowing dynamic pricing is applied to all HYBE groups, multi-fans naturally couldn’t help but worry about future concerts. If a young group like ENHYPEN’s tickets already reach $700 USD, what would BTS’s future tour cost to attend?
enhypen’s vip tickets are $712… now imagine ticket prices for bts reunion tour pic.twitter.com/QGeefLzo1R
