This post went viral when another fan noted that although there was a limit on the number of tickets (approximately 65,000) being sold for the concert there were thousands more who remained outside on the second night of the concert, thus bringing the total attendance for each of the three concerts (May 7, 9 and 10) to approximately 100,000 ARMYs in attendance at the same time. Fans described these concerts as evidence that BTS is an incredibly popular global artist and that ARMYs share a bond with BTS across the globe.

During the Arirang World Tour, BTS visited Mexico City on May 7, May 9 and May 10 where they performed over three nights and many fans travelled to that location to see these shows which helped to generate a large amount of business and tourism for Mexico City. The economic benefit of tourism from the concerts produced a substantial amount of economic activity throughout the time the concerts took place. Following their performances in Mexico City, the next concert will occur at Stanford Stadium, Stanford California on May 16-19. After closing out the concert at Stanford Stadium, BTS will then continue on their tour performing at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on May 23, 24, 27 & 28.
