South Korean girl group BLACKPINK is set to hold their concert at Kai Tak Sports Park in January 2026. Although ticket prices have not yet been announced by the organizers, scalpers on the second-hand trading platform Carousell are already offering pre-order services at exorbitant prices.
A reporter from DotDotNews discovered listings on Carousell where sellers are charging up to HK$5,000 per ticket for pre-order services. Some accounts are also selling Weverse Shop BLINK membership accounts, which provide priority ticket access, for amounts ranging from HK$50 to HK$200. Additionally, some sellers are offering "shared membership" services at a fee of HK$150.
In response, Carousell stated that the platform strictly prohibits illegal transactions, including the resale of tickets above face value, and that it continuously monitors and removes such listings.
The concert will be held on January 24-25, 2026, with ticket sales divided into four phases:
- Weverse Shop BLINK members can register now and purchase tickets starting June 10.
- VISA cardholders can access ticket sales on June 11.
- Trip.com users can purchase tickets on June 12.
- Public sales will begin at 11 a.m. on June 13.
Carousell has advised fans to stay vigilant when trading online, suggesting they review official resale policies and avoid dealing with sellers who request communication through other platforms. If sellers fail to provide valid proof of tickets, fans are encouraged to terminate the transaction to protect their interests.
