With tickets reaching $1,500, Ontario K-pop stans fume over “ridiculously expensive” prices
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Facts: Being a K-pop fan is an expensive hobby. And no one knows this right now better than BlackPink fans.
The group, which consists of members Jisoo, Lisa, Rosé, and Jennie, is set to kick off the Born Pink world tour in October before making their way to Canada with two scheduled performances in Hamilton’s FirstOntario Centre on November 6 and 7.
Ontario fans were thrilled to finally get the chance to see their idols in person; however, ticket prices left many reeling.

Prices reached up to $1,400 for floor tickets, putting a dent in many wallets and a damper on the excitement. Fan reactions ranged from anger…
Just copped $770 CAD worth of tickets for Day 1 (GA seated) and Day 2 (VIP Deluxe) of BLACKPINK’s concert in Hamilton 😭💀 This is probably the last time I will spend money to see them. The prices this year is ridiculously expensive for almost the same perks we had last tour 🙄 pic.twitter.com/45EqcBR62K

But high prices weren’t enough to deter other fans who were willing to shell out hundreds (if not thousands) to see their idols live.
So thankful that I was able to secure two tickets to see #BLACKPINK in Hamilton!!!! Can’t wait to see the girls and fellow BLINKS! ☺️#BORNPINK #BLACKPINKWorldTour2022 pic.twitter.com/frGkh3Fojr
