MANIFESTATION SUCCESS STORY: HOW I WON THE BTS TICKETING WAR [LOA, Vision Board, Subliminals]
Anyone who knows BTS knows that they are notoriously difficult to secure concert tickets for. They routinely sell out in the presales (that you need to buy a fanclub membership to sign up for) and it’s common to have queue numbers in the 50,000s and above.
I am a huge BTS fan (ARMY), and so is my mum. Unfortunately, the last time they performed in Australia was in 2017 (while I was still a fledgling ARMY) and I just missed out on getting tickets for their WINGS tour. No worries, I thought. I’ll go to the next one.
They would not set foot in this country for another 10 years.
So when the announcement for the Australian leg of their latest tour Arirang arrived, I was determined to be in that stadium no matter the cost.
I did everything I could think of. I made a vision board on pinterest. I listened to subliminals. I imagined getting tickets and being in the stadium. I told myself over and over that I was going to get tickets no matter what. I told myself I had already gotten tickets. I prayed.
Then came the presale. I had been unable to secure the required membership in order to participate. My fate was in Ticketmaster’s hands. If they didn’t reserve any tickets for their general sale, then it was over for me. I waited. Prayed. Watched my fellow Australian ARMYs cry in joy and anguish as each seat disappeared.
Then, like an angel descending from above, Ticketmaster posted:
Additional tickets. They’d set some aside! I still had a chance!
I threw myself into learning everything I could about the ticketing process. I watched videos, I read discussions about how to get the best queue numbers, I checked the event page and faqs a thousand times, I even practiced buying tickets by joining the queue for another artist.
And then finally, it was time.
[9am, the 4th of June 2026]
I put on my crystal bracelets. Turquoise to stay calm. Rose Quartz for self love. Green Aventurine for luck. Malachite for transformation. I burnt bergamot incense for prosperity. I had my BTS photocards and merch with me for emotional support.
The pressure was on. There were 3 dates on sale, with limited tickets for days 2 and 3, and my ARMY mum (who had recently gone through a divorce, and desperately needed something to look forward to) had asked me to secure us tickets for all 3 days. Less than a minute left. I told myself I would get queue numbers in the 10s.
~13000, ~7000, ~12000. I could work with that. As expected, the queue moved fast, and before I knew it I was staring at the seat map for day 3. There were some tickets in the nosebleeds, and some in level 1, but they were disappearing fast. Just as soon as I would click on a section, the seats would disappear. My hands were shaking. My mouse sensitivity was off. I couldn’t click on those tiny dots. And within seconds, every seat was gone.
I had failed.
If this was how it was going to be, I didn’t have a chance.
I felt my despair rising.
And then I stopped. I took a deep breath. I told myself firmly that I was getting tickets. I told myself I had to, for my sake and for my mum. For ten years of waiting.
I locked the fuck in.
Days 1 and 2 finished at the same time. I went with day 1, as that had been added more recently and theoretically had more tickets available. With the single minded focus of a machine I opened up the seat map, clicked the first seats I saw, and immediately went to the checkout.
Here, I fumbled. My card details hadn’t autofilled (despite me saving them in advance), and I couldn’t remember my CVV. I knew that the tickets weren’t mine until I paid for them. I was in limbo until the transaction went through. I finally found the right number, filled it in and clicked purchase.
I waited. the transaction buffered.
SUCCESS!!!!
I had done it!!!!! I had bought two tickets for BTS!!!!! Now if I could just get day 2-
I quickly switched the tab. Sold out.
And then I remembered something miraculous. Something I had learnt in my obsessive research. You get one refresh.
You see, Ticketmaster doesn’t show you every seat available. They show you a selection, and if you don’t buy from that selection in time then the map looks sold out. However, if you refresh, sometimes a new selection of seats will show up. Sometimes transactions fail and tickets get released again.
I refreshed. A huge selection of nosebleeds showed up. I quickly purchased two more seats. I was over the moon!
Finally, there was one date left. Day 3, the date that I had fumbled on my first try. The date that I wanted more than anything, because it was on February 13th 2027, the day before my 30th birthday. I had spent the first day of my 20s an ARMY, and it would mean the world to me to spend the last day of my 20s with BTS. We’d been through so much together.
I took a deep breath and refreshed.
FLOOR SEATS APPEARED.
There were 3 in a row, and there’s a rule about not leaving a single seat behind when buying tickets. I didn’t hesitate. I could sell the spare later. I grabbed all 3. Checked out with my heart in my throat.
SUCCESS!!!
All 3 days. Manifested.
We’re going to Melbourne baby!!!!!!!!
