How to Find Sold-Out Tickets to BTS in El Paso This Weekend
The K-pop boy band BTS made their first United States tour stop this past week in Tampa. Now, they’re heading to El Paso for the next highly anticipated United States shows. Find out what to expect for BTS in El Paso, and how to find tickets if you’ve been waiting until the last minute.
Where is BTS Performing
BTS is taking the stage at Sun Bowl Stadium on Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3. The shows start at 8:00 PM both nights. The stadium is located about 9 miles from the airport, so plan for transportation to and from the venue if you’re traveling in from out of town.
When to Arrive
The parking lots open at 8:00 AM for the most dedicated fans. Gates for the show open at 5:30 PM, but fans with floor tickets or looking to snag specific high-demand merch are expected to start lining up well before then. Fans are allowed to line up at the south gates starting at 3:00 PM and the north gate at 3:30 PM.
There will be an outdoor fan plaza for fans to gather and enjoy themselves before the show. Located near the main north gate, the fan plaza will have outdoor merch and food stands, cooling stations, water stations, and more. The south gate will also have an outdoor merch booth for early-arriving fans.
BTS Official Light Sticks
BTS concerts feature official light sticks called ARMY bombs that fans can purchase and wave during the show. They light up in synchronized displays throughout the crowd. Fans can pre-order ARMY bombs for pick-up at the venue, wait in line at specific merch stands, or find them in ARMY bomb express lanes. If you’re looking to secure an ARMY bomb before the show, the earlier you arrive, the better.
Bag Policy
The venue enforces a clear bag policy, with restrictions on size and style of bag as well. Small clutch bags smaller than 4.5” by 6.5” are permitted and don’t need to be clear. Clear tote bags no larger than 12” by 6” by 12” are permitted as well, and guests can bring one plastic gallon storage bag.
Freebie Policy
Fans of BTS love to build community at shows by exchanging miniature gift items called freebies. BTS freebies that fit inside your permitted clear or small clutch bags are allowed in the venue. This includes items such as bracelets, photocards, stickers, and keychains.

The Openers
BTS concerts do not have traditional opening acts. Instead, BTS uses on-screen projections, dubbed VCRs, for openings and transitions between acts. Rather than watching an unknown opener, fans can sit back and enjoy more of their favorite K-pop artists.
