ARIRANG Tops the World Tour Ranking

BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG is currently number one on Pollstar's worldwide tour ranking by ticket sales revenue. What makes it even more interesting is that BTS has achieved this with a large part of the tour still ahead of them.

According to Pollstar's latest figures, the 38 shows included in the report brought in $465.8 million in ticket sales, with a total of 2,314,140 people in attendance.

Although Pollstar publishes this ranking as part of its third-quarter report, it doesn't cover only the shows played during that quarter. The ranking shows cumulative results reported through August 12. The tour only started in April, and BTS reached the top in just a few months.

Bad Bunny is in second place with $438.6 million, while The Weeknd is third with $261.4 million. Bad Bunny sold more tickets, but BTS currently leads the ranking in total revenue.

Among the cities BTS had visited by then, Las Vegas stands out. Four shows at Allegiant Stadium drew 245,691 people and brought in $66.6 million in ticket sales.

A comparison with last year shows just how big $465.8 million is. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour finished 2025 at number one on Pollstar's annual ranking with total revenue of $407.6 million. The ARIRANG tour has already surpassed that figure.

Pollstar's current ranking doesn't include shows played after August 12. That means it leaves out the final leg of the North American tour, including the four shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in early September. Those shows alone drew around 282,000 people.

And the tour goes on. The next stop is Bogotá on October 2, followed by Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo. After that, ARIRANG returns to Asia, with shows in Australia to follow.

The ARIRANG tour has already achieved what few tours manage: it has reached the top of the worldwide ranking, and BTS is still far from their last show this year.
