And it’s at the Stade de France that the seven members of BTS plan to make their comeback, seven years after their last concert at this iconic venue outside Paris. For this reunion with their French fans, BTS has scheduled two shows on Friday, July 17, and Saturday, July 18, 2026. Expect both dates to sell out in minutes.

So, how do you go about securing your tickets? When does the early access and general ticket sale take place? What are the eligibility criteria for the "Army Membership" pre-sale? How does the waiting line work for the "Army Membership" pre-sale? We've got all the tips to help you boost your chances and land that coveted ticket.

How to Access the "Army Membership" Presale?

Be aware that tickets for these two BTS concerts at the Stade de France will be sold in two phases: first, through a "Army Membership" pre-sale, followed by the public sale, open to everyone. But how do you qualify for the "Army Membership" pre-sale? First, you need to have an account and therefore register on Weverse. Next, you must purchase the Global ARMY membership on Weverse Shop. As BTS ARMY France advises, it’s recommended to set your currency to "won" during purchase to get a better deal.

After completing this initial step, register for the pre-sale. BTS ARMY France clarifies that the link is available below the title "- Apply for ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE (GLOBAL)". During registration, you'll need to select up to three cities for access to the pre-sales. No confirmation email will be sent, but you can verify your registration directly through the Weverse app. Please note that registrations close on Sunday, January 18 at 11:59 p.m. (CET). After this deadline, the "Army Membership" pre-sale registration will be officially closed.

The "Army Membership" pre-sale for the two Stade de France concerts will begin on Thursday, January 22 at 3 p.m. On the day of the sale, head over to Ticketmaster.fr. Please note: the email address linked to your membership (on Weverse) must match the one registered on your Ticketmaster account. If you haven't set up a Ticketmaster account yet, be sure to do so in advance of the pre-sale. When it’s your turn, you'll need to enter your 11-character ARMY MEMBERSHIP number (the "BA" prefix plus 9 characters) to access the tickets. You can find this number on the Weverse app by clicking 'More' > 'My Membership'.

Tips Before and During Ticket Sales

Ticketmaster France also offers some tips ahead of ticket sales. It’s advised to join the virtual queue up to 60 minutes before tickets go on sale. Stick to a single browser, tab, or device to avoid any issues. During the sale, resist the temptation to refresh the page, as this could lead to disconnection or your being flagged as a bot.
