Hope On The Stage - Everything You Need to Know to Get Tickets
Hi ARMY, Vanessa here from Hobihearteu Shop. I collected the best tips from the online community, Reddit and Ticketmaster and compiled them all here to help you snag those Hobi US tour tickets! To everyone who is going to try - I wish you all the best and may we get VIP and collect lots of Hobi water.
Before the Sale
- Apply for US ARMY membership by Sun, January 19th @ 5 PM PT/ 8 PM ET. You need a US Membership and US address to join the US Presale, even if you already have a Global Membership. Click here to join
- Once you have your US Membership apply for Presale access here.
- A QR code will appear after you apply for Presale, validate entry by going to the link via the QR code - use your phone camera or a QR reader device. A window should pop out that you are verified afterwards.
- You are now guaranteed for Presale. Your ARMY Membership ID is your code. No other code will be sent. Do not share your ARMY memberhip ID (9-digit starts with BA)
- Sign in or create a Ticketmaster account. Have your password handy or reset it in advance to avoid any delays.
- Add your bank / credit card details in Ticketmaster, go to profile then payment options. Make sure you billing details are correct too.
- On Ticketmaster, go to j-hope's ticket master page and set a reminder for all pre-sale venues you want to join.
- Familiarize yourself with the venue layout. Choose in advance the types of tickets that you want. You can practice with other events currently selling tickets.
- Test your main and back-up device for Ticketmaster access e.g. laptop then phone
- Test your main and back up internet connection e.g. Wifi then hotspot
- Disable all your browser ad-blockers and extensions, this may cause issues on some of the pop-up windows opening.
During the Sale
- Pre-Sale opens Wednesday, January 22nd at 3PM local time, meaning Barclays NY venue will open 3PM EST, Frost Bank San Antonio will open 3pm CST.
- Have your credit card details near you in case you need to enter them again.
- 30 mins before the pre-sale schedule go to j-hope's ticket master page. If the Pre-Sale hasn’t started, you will see a countdown timer.
- Once open, join the waiting room.
- Don't refresh the page in the waiting list! If you refresh the page you will lose your spot and will be put last in line again.
- Don’t look like a ticket bot! It may result in you being blocked for a period of time and unable to shop for tickets.
- Stay within one browser window and on a single device or it may result in errors. Multiple tabs in the same browser is okay if trying multiple shows.
- Don’t refresh your browser multiple times for multiple ticket searches.
- Turn off your VPN, Apple Private Relay and other proxy servers.
- Save time during the on sale by searching for the Best Available ticket filter.
- If all the tickets appear gray or sold out, just stay on the page and keep clicking. Small batches of tickets are released every few hours. During PTD LA I got into Presale and all is sold out, I kept clicking/refreshing from 6PM then around 10pm a whole batch of tickets showed up and I managed to get Row 2 from stage!
- You may purchase a maximum of (4) four tickets during the Pre-Sale and (2) two tickets during the General Sale.
- You can search for accessible tickets by selecting the Filters button and toggling the Show accessible tickets button.
Buying Resale Tickets
- Only buy from reputable sites that you’ve tried and tested.
- Do not buy from a random person in the internet even if they have an ARMY account with 500k followers or even if they accept payments with Purchase Protection, only buy from someone you personally know.
- If the ticket price is below face value - red flag! Do not buy.
- Wait 5-7 days before the event for a better deal. Scalpers will always panic drop their prices.

One last thing...
They say if you start preping early, it’s like attracting all the positive energy your way. Example, you can start buying merch to wear and some giveaways, like stickers 😊 Buying from small businesses may bring you good vibes too, maybe find a shop that is named after Hobi - for sure they have lots of Hobi themed stuff they have painstakingly created through years of obsessing with Hobi 😄💜
