The 4-day offline BTS concert, “Permission to Dance” held in Los Angeles, has made it into the headlines again not only for being the group’s first in-person concert in 2 years but also for making BTS the first artist to ever sell out all 4 concerts at the SoFi Stadium.
In a statement released November 29, Christy Castillo Butcher, SoFi Stadium’s Senior Vice President of Programming mentioned, “We are very happy that BTS’s historic first concert in the U.S. since 2019 is being held at SoFi Stadium. BTS sold out four shows for the first time in SoFi Stadium history. This concert achieved the highest ticket sales among any concert held by a single band or artist at the SoFi Stadium.”
Opened in September 2020, the SoFi Stadium is a new concert and events venue situated in Inglewood, California, and comes with a total seating capacity of 100,000. However, BTS only opened approximately 50,000 seats for their concert due to the massive screen placed behind the stage. The concert is also being live-streamed simultaneously on YouTube Theatre which has a seating capacity of 6,400.
BTS will continue to perform at the SoFi Stadium for the 3rd and 4th shows of “Permission to Dance,” slated to happen on December 1 and 2.
