Should I buy a BTS ticket or am I letting FOMO get to me?

Advice

Hi ARMY! I could really use some advice because I've been going back and forth on this for days.

I've been an ARMY for years, and one of my friends is selling me her BTS concert ticket for 300 CAD. I haven't committed yet, and I'm first checking if the ticket is still available.

Here's my situation:

  • I'm an international student studying in Toronto.
  • I'll be landing at Toronto Pearson Airport at around 9:30 a.m. on August 23, which is the same day as the concert.
  • I'll need to go to my apartment first, check in, leave my luggage, shower, eat, and hopefully rest a little before heading to the venue.
  • The ticket is in the stands, not VIP or floor, which I actually prefer because I'm very short and I'm worried I wouldn't be able to see much on the floor anyway.
  • I'll most likely be taking public transit to and from the concert by myself.

Financially, I can technically afford it because I have campus jobs this year that will provide me with income. However, 300 CAD is still a lot of money for me, especially because when I convert it into my home currency (Indian Rupees), it feels like a huge amount. I also have to convince my parents that it's worth spending that much on a concert.

Another thing I'm worried about is whether I'll even have the energy after an international flight and moving into residence on the same day. I don't want to spend all that money only to be too exhausted to fully enjoy the experience.

At the same time, I keep thinking that I'm already going to be in Toronto that day, and I don't know when or if I'll get another chance to see BTS live again.

So I wanted to ask people who have been to BTS concerts (or even stadium concerts in general):

  • If you were in my position, would you go?
  • Is 300 CAD a reasonable price for a seated ticket (I don't know the exact section yet)?
  • Is seeing them from the stands still an amazing experience?
  • Is it realistic to go to the concert after landing in Toronto that morning, or am I underestimating how tired I'll be?
  • Do you think I'd regret missing this opportunity more than I'd regret spending the money?

I'd really appreciate honest opinions on whether you think I should go or not. Thank you! 💜
