Overview
- BTS, which appeared on a Palacio Nacional balcony with President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday, greeted about 50,000 fans in the Zócalo in a brief public moment.
- Before the balcony wave, the seven members held a short, closed meeting with Sheinbaum, then thanked fans in Spanish and said they were excited for the concerts.
- The group opens three sold-out dates at Estadio GNP Seguros on May 7, 9 and 10 after millions tried to buy roughly 150,000 tickets.
- Sheinbaum said her government asked South Korea’s president to help explore more dates, and she urged BTS to return next year during the meeting.
- With shows starting, BIGHIT Music said it will patrol areas around venues to stop bootleg merchandise, while Mexico’s consumer agency has fielded thousands of ticket complaints and pressed Ticketmaster and OCESA to reveal pricing.
