The pricing breakdown for the Goyang leg shows Standing VIP seats going for ₩275,000 KRW (about $181 USD), Floor R seats at ₩253,000 KRW (about $166 USD), R seats at ₩242,000 KRW (about $159 USD), Floor S at ₩231,000 KRW (about $152 USD), S seats at ₩198,000 KRW (about $130 USD), and A seats at ₩154,000 KRW (about $101 USD).
These prices are already steep on their own, but it was the wheelchair accessibility seats that truly set fans off.
Wheelchair seats, listed under the R-tier, are priced at ₩242,000 KRW (about $159 USD), putting them among the most expensive options on the chart.
For a group like BIGBANG, whose fanbase has waited through years of hiatuses, the prices feel like a particularly bitter pill.
Korean fans on TheQoo were quick to call it out, with comments piling up over the pricing.

- “No one should go, please, I’m begging”
- “They have no conscience”
- “Why are wheelchair seats that expensive?”
- “It’s expensive, but is that wheelchair seat price even appropriate? That looks the most shameless to me”
- “Wow, that’s expensive”
- “What’s going on with the wheelchair seat price”
Whether the backlash translates into poor sales remains to be seen. BIGBANG still commands a massive following, and demand will likely remain high. But the discourse around accessibility seating, in particular, doesn’t look like it’s dying down anytime soon.
