Calculating the average price of the tickets as 105,000 won, sales of Seoul concerts are expected to be around 9.45 billion won. Furthermore, applying the same price to all the 790,000 audiences of the entire tour, total sales would reach at least 82.9 billion won. 
 
According to an official of BigHit Entertainment, BTS' overseas concerts are priced more expensively compared to domestic shows, and therefore, there's a possibility that their total sales would even be more than that.
