TXT Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

Why the TXT presale has no date yet

When a tour is announced with cities and dates but no venues, the promoter is normally still finalising contracts. Venue names are released together with the ticketing information, because the sale page needs a seating map, a capacity and a ticket price list. For TXT, all nine dates carry the label venue to be announced, which tells us that neither the American nor the European sale can open until the rooms are published. That may happen in one batch or by region, and the order is not fixed. A venue announcement may come hours before a sale or weeks before it. It is therefore wise not to plan travel yet. A city on a list can still change, and the date can move by a day when a venue is confirmed. The advice that applies to every fan at this stage is to keep your accounts ready, to subscribe to the official channels that will make the first announcement, and to avoid paying anyone for early access. An announcement from the group's agency or the promoter will always come before any real sale, and it will name the platform and the time. Read our presale queue guide to understand what happens on the day.

United States: where the TXT presale may begin

The American leg has four dates in the data: Los Angeles on 7 May, Atlanta on 18 May, New York on 22 May and Chicago on 25 May 2027. For arena-level tours in the United States, the usual route is Ticketmaster, sometimes combined with a registration system such as Verified Fan, which gives each registered account a chance to be invited to the sale. Our records do not say that this system will be used for these dates, so we label it as a possibility, not a fact. What we can say is that K-pop tours in North America often combine a fan club window, a registration step and a general sale, with prices that depend on the section. Because venues are unknown, the capacity cannot be estimated. A theatre sells out within minutes, while an arena may stay open for hours. If you plan to attend, compare the four cities by travel time and cost rather than by assumed demand. The US presale guide explains how accounts, queues and payment limits work, and the Verified Fan guide describes how registration invitations are normally issued.

Fan club access and the TXT presale in the European cities

Europe has five dates: Manchester on 2 June, Milan on 5 June, Paris on 7 June, Amsterdam on 10 June and Cologne on 14 June. For K-pop acts, the first window in Europe is very often a fan club presale, for which membership must have been active before a cut-off date set by the agency, and it is usually announced on the group's fan platform and social channels. A membership bought after the announcement may not qualify for the first window. We do not know whether this will apply to TXT, and no European notice has been published, so we describe the pattern only. The ticketing platforms differ by country. The United Kingdom normally uses Ticketmaster UK or AXS depending on the venue, Italy uses TicketOne or Ticketmaster Italia, France uses Ticketmaster France or the arena's own site, the Netherlands uses Ticketmaster and the venue's channel, and Germany uses Eventim or Ticketmaster. See the UK guide, Italian guide and fan club presale guide for the vocabulary and typical rules.

One more point concerns timing between announcement and sale. For large tours it is common for the interval to be a few weeks, and the first message normally names the platform, the day and the hour. Fans who follow only the group's social media sometimes miss the practical notice, which is why a dedicated alert is useful. The platforms themselves often publish a page for each event as soon as the date is added, and that page gives a place to sign up for reminders. Doing so costs nothing and gives an extra warning on top of the official announcement from the agency, so it is worth doing for every city you might attend. For an arena show in North America, the upper tiers are generally the last to sell, so it makes sense to set a maximum price in advance.

Checklist: what to do before the TXT presale is announced

Create or update an account on each platform you may use, and confirm your name, address and phone number. Save a payment method that works with the platform, and check that your card issuer will not block an online purchase of this size. If you plan to buy from another country, make sure the card can be used abroad. A delay of even one minute during a queue can lose the best seats, so finish these tasks now, while nothing is at stake. Check whether you are already a member of the official fan club on the group's platform, and note the date of your membership, since some windows depend on it. If registration systems are announced, sign up on the first day, because a registration list is normally closed before the sale. Never share membership numbers or invitation links with anyone, as they are tied to your account and can be cancelled if misused. Our alerts tell you which of these steps applies once the announcement is made. Decide how many tickets you need and what you can spend, including fees and travel. Large K-pop shows often limit purchases to two to four tickets per account, so a group of friends should plan for each person to buy their own. Agree in advance which cities you are willing to travel to, so you can choose quickly when the sale opens and not lose time debating.

How the TXT presale compares across time zones

The two continents are many hours apart, and sales usually open at local time in each country. A fan in Europe who wants to buy for a United States date may have to be awake in the middle of the night, and a fan in the United States who wants a Manchester ticket faces the opposite problem. Always convert the time announced for the city into your own, and set two alarms. A Los Angeles sale at 10am Pacific is evening in Europe, while a Paris sale at 10am is the middle of the night on the American west coast. It is common for the American and European sales to be announced a few days apart, so a fan who is flexible can try for one region first and then the other. This also reduces the risk of losing both. Be aware that platforms in different countries may require different accounts, and that a Ticketmaster account in one country does not always work in another. Create each one early. The US calendar shows other sales in the weeks around the tour.

TXT presale rules on resale, named tickets and fees

Rules differ widely. Italy and France use named or personalised tickets for some events, the United Kingdom relies on platform terms and the official exchange, the Netherlands and Germany generally allow transfer at face value, and the United States allows resale through official channels, though some tours restrict transfers for a period. Fees are normally added at the final step of checkout, and dynamic pricing can change a price during the sale. We describe these systems neutrally. Read the conditions on the sale page and keep your account details consistent with the name you will use at the door. For a tour whose venues are not yet public, the safest assumption is that rules will be set by each venue and promoter, and that they will be shown on the first sale page. Our resale rules guide sets out what each country permits, and the dynamic pricing guide explains how prices can move. If you cannot attend, look for an official return or exchange function before considering any other route.

TXT presale FAQ

Here are the questions fans ask most often about the TXT presale for the STEAL THE WIND World Tour. Because the sale information is still to be announced, the answers describe usual patterns and say clearly when something is not confirmed. We update the alerts as soon as the group's team or the promoters publish real dates, and we recommend checking the official channels for the final word. Please read each answer as a statement of what is known at the time of writing, and check the official channels before acting, since this tour has not yet published its sale details.

When does the TXT presale start?

No date has been announced. The notices we hold state that both the pre-sale and the general sale are to be announced, and all nine venues are still to be announced as well. A sale cannot normally open before the venues are published, so watch for that first. Until the official channels confirm a time, treat any date you see elsewhere as unconfirmed, and use the alert form on this page to be told. If a date does appear in another place before the official channels confirm it, wait for the confirmation. Early rumours about K-pop sales are frequent, and they are often wrong by a day or an hour, which is enough to cost a place in a queue. Our alerts are triggered only by confirmed information, and they include the city, the platform and the local time.

Will the TXT presale need a fan club membership?

It may, but this is not confirmed. K-pop tours often give the first window to fan club members, with a cut-off date for membership that is announced by the agency. If you want to be eligible, check your current membership status now and read the official announcement carefully when it appears. Memberships bought after a cut-off date usually do not qualify for the first window. The cut-off date matters because agencies use it to prevent last-minute memberships bought only to obtain early access. If you are unsure of your status, open the fan platform and look at your membership details now. Where a membership has lapsed, renewing it before the announcement is safer than renewing afterwards, although you should confirm the rules once they are published.

Which platform will sell the TXT presale tickets?

That depends on the venue and country. In the United States the most likely route is Ticketmaster, and in Europe Ticketmaster, AXS, TicketOne or Eventim depending on the city. No platform is confirmed in our data, so do not buy from a site that is not linked from the official announcement. We will say which platform runs each sale once it is known. Remember that a ticketing site which looks official but is not linked from the group's announcement should be treated with caution. Check the address, the page design and the conditions, and begin from the official social media account of the group or the promoter. Our guides explain how to recognise the real platform for each country.

Can I buy TXT presale tickets for friends?

Usually only up to the per-account limit, which is shown at checkout and often between two and four tickets for a K-pop arena show. Friends should each register or buy on their own account. You can then use the platform's transfer function to seat everyone together where the terms allow it. Do not share invitation links or membership details, since they are tied to your account. If you plan to travel with several people, agree who will queue for which city, since two accounts in the same household can slow down a sale and sometimes trigger extra checks. Having a clear plan avoids duplicated purchases, which are often hard to cancel.
