I believe the real number is way higher than 33.3 million dollars based on the seat costs original and resale prices."

One fan said, "Earnings would be even higher if all the scalping was taken into consideration." One smug ARMY said, "33.3$ million concert tickets sold and they have the nerves to call us bots look who’s laughing now." One fan said, "It's extremely wholesome how Seokjin ends their stay in LA after BTS gracing the news for every single day ever since their stay in LA from AMAs, sold out stadium show for 4 days that generated 68 Million tweets globally and earned over $33.3M, with a song about Tuna." One fan argued, "Thank you, like desperation for what? They just made a holiday version they don’t need it to chart. Somebody clearly didn’t see the 33 million they just pulled in from 4 dates at sofi."
