Ticketing Guide

Presale Access Protocol

Securing tickets during the presale period requires obtaining a verification code directly from the band’s official website—a two-step process designed to prioritize dedicated fans before general public release. To register for presale access, navigate to the official 5SOS website, select the TOUR+ navigation tab, click ALL DATES, and locate the SIGN UP option adjacent to the Korea concert listing. The registration form requires your email address and Country designation (select South Korea); importantly, the POSTAL CODE field may be left blank—click SUBMIT regardless of whether postal information is entered. Upon completion, the presale code arrives via email and must be entered on the Interpark booking page before ticket selection.

Several restrictions govern the presale process. The aggregate ticket limit across both presale and general sale periods stands at four tickets per person—purchasing two tickets during presale reduces your general sale allowance to two remaining tickets. Additionally, government-mandated discounts for people with disabilities and persons of national merit do not apply during the presale phase, though they may be available during general sales (subject to standard verification procedures).

A bit about 5 Seconds Of Summer

Formed in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, in 2011, 5 Seconds Of Summer (often shortened to 5SOS) began their journey as a group of school friends posting covers on YouTube. Their trajectory took a meteoric turn when Louis Tomlinson of One Direction discovered their videos, leading to a coveted spot as the opening act on the Take Me Home world tour. This exposure catapulted the band—comprising Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin—from an internet phenomenon to a global pop-rock sensation. While initially introduced to the world through the lens of a boy band, 5SOS forcefully carved out their own identity, championing a pop-punk revival with a sound deeply rooted in the guitar-driven, high-energy influences of bands like Green Day, blink-182, and All Time Low. Their debut single, “She Looks So Perfect,” became an anthem, but it was their evolution across albums like Sounds Good Feels Good and Youngblood that cemented their musical credibility and longevity. The title track “Youngblood” marked a particularly significant sonic shift, embracing a darker, more mature pop-rock sound that dominated charts worldwide and reintroduced the band as a formidable, grown-up force. Known for their electrifying live shows and a deeply loyal fanbase, 5 Seconds Of Summer has successfully navigated the transition from teenage heartthrobs to respected musicians, continually pushing the boundaries of their genre while maintaining the close, collaborative bond that started it all.

Scheduled for July 4 and 5, 2026, at the Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall, the ‘Alumni Reunion’ offers distinct temporal experiences: a Saturday evening session for nocturnal atmospheres and a Sunday afternoon matinee accommodating those with logistical constraints. With standard seating priced at 99,000 KRW and an age restriction of 12 years and older, the event targets the group’s mature, long-standing fanbase while remaining accessible to younger listeners who have discovered their nine-album catalog.

Venue Logistics & Policies

Ticket Fulfillment
Physical tickets follow a bifurcated distribution model. Bookings completed by June 8, 2026 (Monday) 9:59 AM (KST) receive sequential postal shipment; purchases thereafter default to on-site collection at the venue. Shipping address modifications remain possible only until June 9, 2026 (Tuesday) 9:59 AM (KST)—after which receipt information is locked, and re-shipping becomes impossible (returned tickets must be collected at the venue).

Cancellation Protocols
Given the production of digital photo tickets, cancellation requests for bulk shipping bookings submitted after June 9, 2026 (Tuesday) 10:00 AM (KST) must route exclusively through the NOL Ticket Customer Center (1544-1555) or 1:1 inquiries, with an absolute deadline of June 11, 2026 (Thursday) 12:00 PM (KST). Shipping costs become non-refundable after the June 9 cutoff.

Transaction Restrictions
This performance applies the Safe Booking service (What is Safe Booking?). Bank transfer deposits are categorically unavailable to ensure transaction fluidity. By completing a purchase, attendees agree to performance guidelines subject to amendment per government regulations or organizer circumstances; re-verification of protocols immediately prior to attendance is strongly advised to avoid entry complications.

A bit about Epik High (에픽하이)

Alt hip-hop royalty and arguably South Korea’s most lyrically vital act, Epik High is composed of Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz. Debuting in 2003, they carved out a singular space in an industry then dominated by pop idols, bringing raw, poetic, and often brutally honest hip-hop to the mainstream. Their sound refuses to sit still; across their discography, they fuse boom-bap with lush strings, electronic synths, and rock influences, anchored by Tablo’s intricate wordplay and Mithra’s smooth, philosophical flow. Albums like Remapping the Human Soul and the critically revered [e] are landmarks that proved a Korean hip-hop group could achieve both massive commercial success and high artistic credibility. More than just musicians, they are chroniclers of the human condition, tackling mental health, societal pressure, and existential angst with a vulnerability that has forged an unbreakable, almost familial bond with their fans across the globe.

2026 82MAJOR FAN-CONCERT 82 Office: Vacation

Fan concerts function as a distinct hybrid of performance and structured meet-and-greet, offering proximity that arena tours rarely accommodate. The 2026 82MAJOR FAN-CONCERT <82 Office: Vacation> adopts this format across three separate performances, presenting the eight-member group in a venue scaled for visibility and interaction rather than sheer capacity. Running July 18–19, 2026, at XSCALA in Seoul’s Namdaemun district, the event frames the meetup as a corporate retreat—an “office vacation” that moves the group from formal presentation into a looser, more conversational register with their audience.

Event Overview

🗓️ Date: July 18–19, 2026
📍 Venue: XSCALA (MESA, 2 Namdaemun Market 10-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul)
Age Limit: 8 years and above

Located within the MESA building near Namdaemun Market, XSCALA provides a mid-sized hall configuration that accommodates the fan-concert format—close enough for facial expressions to register clearly from any seat, yet large enough to support full stage production. The venue sits at the edge of one of Seoul’s oldest commercial districts, placing it within walking distance of traditional markets and contemporary retail corridors alike.

Performance Schedule

The organizers have opted for an asymmetric schedule: Saturday features two separate performances (matinee and evening), while Sunday offers a single afternoon show. This structure allows attendees to select their preferred intensity—whether sampling the event once or experiencing the variations that typically emerge between multiple performances of fan-oriented setlists.

• Saturday, July 18: 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM (two distinct performances)
• Sunday, July 19: 4:00 PM (one performance)

Ticketing Information

Pricing remains flat across all seating sections during the membership presale phase, eliminating the usual tiered anxiety of location-based price jumps. All seats cost 99,000 KRW during the membership presale window.

Membership Presale Authentication Period:
Thursday, June 4, 2026, 2:00 PM through Tuesday, June 9, 2026, 11:59 PM (KST)

Membership Presale Opening:
Monday, June 8, 2026, 8:00 PM through Tuesday, June 9, 2026, 11:59 PM (KST)

General Sale Opening:
Monday, June 15, 2026, 7:00 PM (KST)

Note the overlap in the authentication window and presale opening: authentication begins June 4, but purchasing opens June 8 at 8 PM, creating a four-day window for verified members to prepare while preventing last-minute authentication bottlenecks.

Practical Considerations

Attendees aged eight and above may enter, though minors should attend with appropriate guardianship per Korean entertainment venue regulations. Given the summer timing—July in Seoul typically brings high humidity and temperatures near 30°C—planning transportation logistics in advance becomes essential.

A bit about 82MAJOR

82MAJOR is a South Korean boy group that burst onto the K-pop scene with a swaggering, old-school hip-hop identity that sets them apart from many of their contemporaries. Formed by Great M Entertainment, the six-member group—consisting of Seongil, Yechan, Seongmo, Seokjoon, Dogyun, and Seongbin—made their official debut on October 10, 2023, with the single album ON. True to their name, a clever wordplay on Korea’s international calling code (82) and the idea of being a “major” force, they deliver a sound deeply rooted in 90s boom-bap and R&B. Their pre-debut journey gained significant traction through the reality show Rare House, which showcased their raw talent and chemistry, culminating in a pre-debut single that boldly sampled Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” This fearless nod to hip-hop legends wasn’t just a gimmick; it was a mission statement, immediately signaling to fans that 82MAJOR is dedicated to bridging the gap between authentic hip-hop culture and the polish of modern K-pop performance.

A bit about FTISLAND

FTISLAND, short for “Five Treasure Island,” is a South Korean rock band that debuted in 2007, fundamentally shaping the landscape of K-pop by heavily incorporating rock music elements at a time when the industry was dominated by idol dance groups. Formed by FNC Entertainment, the original lineup consisted of Choi Jong-hoon (guitar, keyboard), Lee Hong-gi (main vocals), Lee Jae-jin (bass), Song Seung-hyun (guitar), and Choi Min-hwan (drums). They quickly shattered the rookie mold, becoming the first Korean band to chart at number one with their debut album Cheerful Sensibility and achieving an unprecedented streak of wins on music shows with their breakout hit “Love Sick.” Known for a maturing sound that evolved from bright pop-rock anthems to a grittier, self-composed hard rock identity, FTISLAND’s enduring legacy is defined by the unparalleled vocal prowess of frontman Lee Hong-gi and their steadfast commitment to live performance, marking them as one of the pioneering idols who demanded recognition as genuine musicians. Despite currently operating as a trio—following the departures of Choi Jong-hoon amid scandal and Song Seung-hyun—the remaining members Lee Hong-gi, Lee Jae-jin, and Choi Min-hwan continue to write and release music, maintaining a devoted fanbase under the banner of “Primadonna.”

A bit about PLAVE,

PLAVE is a groundbreaking South Korean virtual boy group that masterfully blurs the line between the digital and the real. Formed by VLAST, they are not simply animated characters, but a team of five highly skilled human performers who bring their distinct avatars to life through real-time motion capture technology. This allows them to sing live, perform intricate choreography, and interact with fans with genuine emotion and improvisational wit, effectively combining the polished identity of a webtoon with the raw talent of a K-pop idol group. Since their debut in March 2023, members YEJUN, NOAH, BAMBY, EUNHO, and HAMIN have been deeply involved in their music, writing lyrics and composing songs that span genres from emotional ballads to energetic pop-rock, all while self-producing much of their content. This strong musical identity, paired with the endearing and chaotic chemistry they display on livestreams, has fostered an intensely dedicated global fandom, making PLAVE a pioneering force in the virtual entertainment industry by proving an avatar group can conquer mainstream music charts through sheer artistry.

A bit about 넬

Emerged from the fertile underground scene of Hongdae in the early 2000s, 넬 (Nell) has spent over two decades carving out a singular, emotionally devastating niche in the Korean rock landscape. Eschewing the bright, choreographed sheen of mainstream K-pop, they are the undisputed architects of atmospheric melancholy, weaving dense, cinematic soundscapes founded on Kim Jong-wan’s ethereal, haunting falsetto and deeply introspective lyrics. Their music, often described as a cathartic journey through despair and hope, masterfully blends alternative rock, post-rock, and electronic elements into anthems that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. With seminal albums like Healing Process and Separation Anxiety, Nell didn’t just build a discography; they created a sonic sanctuary for the disenchanted, cementing their legacy as a profoundly influential act whose songs resonate with a timeless, aching beauty.
