Global popstars BTS have sold out of their North American leg of their ARIRANG World Tour – all within a few hours. There were multiple posts on social media, either celebrating the acquisition of tickets or grieving their inability to obtain tickets. Ticketing was a frustrating and stressful experience, with many calling foul over scalpers, prompting the President of Mexico to ask BTS for more concert dates.

If you were one of the many successful recipients of the BTS ticketing war, Congratulations!

While general tickets are easy to transfer or sell through the Ticketmaster or SeatGeek app, there are many lucky buyers who were victorious in obtaining the coveted VIP Soundcheck tickets, hosted by VIP Nation, the VIP packaging branch of the Live Nation company.

Those tickets are special packages that include access to BTS’s soundcheck, which typically lasts about 10-15 minutes, and provide closer floor seating. The package also typically includes a small gift and a VIP souvenir lanyard.

If you were one of the lucky ones to get those, you may have questions about how to check in or transfer your VIP packages to others.

Many people who helped friends and family secure VIP tickets are not attending the show, or have changed their minds and sold their packages to a friend or fellow BTS ARMY (the name for BTS fans). People want to know what their options are to keep the VIP package benefits.

Many social media users contacted Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, and Live Nation and received different responses on this topic. All becoming even more confusing.

I contacted Live Nation to confirm the correct procedures for picking up your BTS VIP packages if you are not the original purchaser or if the ticket was transferred to you.

Although VIP Nation states that tickets are non-transferable, VIP packages can be picked up even if the original purchaser is not present.

BTS VIP Packages are under the Purchaser’s name, not the Ticketmaster account name

Even if you purchased the tickets from your account, the name of the person who paid for it – i.e., used their credit card or financial account – will be on the Live Nation list.

For example, if the Ticketmaster account is under your name and your credit card didn’t work, so you used your friend’s credit card, the VIP package will be under the friend’s name.

To check in, you must have a copy of the Purchaser’s Photo ID

Live Nation has only the Purchasers’ names, not the guests or the recipients of the tickets.

For example, if a friend purchased the package for you, you only need a copy of their photo ID to present with your tickets.

You can transfer your VIP tickets, but you need the Purchaser ID for the benefits

The account the tickets are in does not matter, but you must have them with you at check-in. If there are four people in your party, each person can have their ticket in their account. They need to present the original purchaser’s photo ID to access VIP benefits and their ticket from their individual accounts (if it was transferred to them).

When you check in, you show both the Purchaser’s ID and VIP tickets to the staff, even if they were transferred to you.

If the friends arrive separately, or if they sold a ticket to a fellow BTS ARMY, they can check in separately, provided they have a copy of the Purchaser’s photo ID.

According to Live Nation, “If a VIP guest resells their ticket to another fan, the fan will forfeit the VIP elements of their package and only the concert tickets will be valid – UNLESS the fan has a photocopy of the original purchaser’s photo ID.”

Even with an Alternative Pick-Up name for the Order, you need the Original Purchaser’s ID

A few people have requested that alternative pickups be added to the account or tickets when they cannot obtain a copy of the Purchaser’s ID. But, according to Live Nation, “The guest can reach out to add an alternate pick-up name for their order. We will still require the original purchaser’s photo ID as well as the photo ID for the alternate pick-up.”

The original Ticketmaster or SeatGeek account that purchased the VIP tickets will receive the Check-In instructions email 3-5 days before the BTS concert

The email will provide details on check-in times, locations, and requirements. Please follow up with the original Ticketmaster or SeatGeek account email to ensure your party has the information.

If you do not receive any emails a day or two before the concert, contact Live Nation for assistance using the original order number so they can verify that the tickets are VIP. VIP Nation will email the Ticketmaster or SeatGeek account owner or provide you with check-in details.

As the concert grows closer, with BTS kicking off the North American leg in Tampa on April 25, things may change in the VIP package procedures. Please keep a lookout for any emails or announcements on Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, and Live Nation social accounts.

Correction: 1/29/26 VIP Nation, part of Live Nation’s BTS VIP experience, is hosting the VIP portion for Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and SeatGeek.

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set for December 3 Mainnet Launch, Blob Capacity to Double

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set for December 3 Mainnet Launch, Blob Capacity to Double

Ethereum developers confirmed the Fusaka upgrade will activate on mainnet on December 3, 2025, following a systematic testnet rollout beginning on October 1 on Holesky. The major hard fork will implement around 11-12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals targeting scalability, node efficiency, and data availability improvements without adding new user-facing features. According to Christine Kim, the upgrade introduces a phased blob capacity expansion through Blob Parameter Only forks occurring two weeks after Fusaka activation. Initially maintaining current blob limits of 6/9 target/max, the first BPO fork will increase capacity to 10/15 blobs one week later. A second BPO fork will further expand limits to 14/21 blobs, more than doubling total capacity within two weeks. Strategic Infrastructure Overhaul Fusaka prioritizes backend protocol improvements over user-facing features, focusing on making Ethereum faster and less resource-intensive. The upgrade includes PeerDAS implementation through EIP-7594, allowing validator nodes to verify data by sampling small pieces rather than downloading entire blobs. This reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while enhancing Layer 2 rollup scalability. The upgrade builds on recent gas limit increases from 30 million to 45 million gas, with ongoing discussions for further expansion. EIP-7935 proposes increasing limits to 150 million gas, potentially enabling significantly higher transaction throughput. These improvements complement broader scalability efforts, including EIP-9698, which suggests a 100x gas limit increase over two years to reach 2,000 transactions per second. Fusaka removes the previously planned EVM Object Format redesign to reduce complexity while maintaining focus on essential infrastructure improvements. The upgrade introduces bounded base fees for blob transactions via EIP-7918, creating more predictable transaction costs for data-heavy applications. Enhanced spam resistance and security improvements strengthen network resilience against scalability bottlenecks and attacks. Technical Implementation and Testing Timeline The Fusaka rollout follows a conservative four-phase approach across Ethereum testnets before mainnet deployment. Holesky upgrade occurs October 1, followed by Sepolia on October 14 and Hoodi on October 28. Each testnet will undergo the complete BPO fork sequence to validate the blob capacity expansion mechanism. BPO forks activate automatically based on predetermined epochs rather than requiring separate hard fork processes. On mainnet, the first BPO fork launches December 17, increasing blob capacity to 10/15 target/max. The second BPO fork activates January 7, 2026, reaching the final capacity of 14/21 blobs. This automated approach enables flexible blob scaling without requiring full network upgrades. Notably, node operators face release deadlines ranging from September 25 for Holesky to November 3 for mainnet preparation. The staggered timeline, according to the developers, allows comprehensive testing while giving infrastructure providers sufficient preparation time. Speculatively, the developers use this backward-compatible approach to ensure smooth transitions with minimal disruption to existing applications. PeerDAS implementation reduces node resource demands, potentially increasing network decentralization by lowering barriers for smaller operators. The technology enables more efficient data availability sampling, crucial for supporting growing Layer 2 rollup adoption. Overall, these improvements, combined with increased gas limits, will enable Ethereum to handle higher transaction volumes while maintaining security guarantees. Addressing Network Scalability Pressures The Fusaka upgrade addresses mounting pressure for Ethereum base layer improvements amid criticism of Layer 2 fragmentation strategies. Critics argue that reliance on rollups has created isolated chains with limited interoperability, complicating user experiences. The upgrade’s focus on infrastructure improvements aims to enhance base layer capacity while supporting continued Layer 2 growth. The recent validator queue controversy particularly highlights ongoing network scalability challenges. According to a Cryptonews report covered yesterday, currently, over 2M ETH sits in exit queues facing 43-day delays, while entry queues process in just 7 days.Ethereum Validator Queue (Source: ValidatorQueue) However, Vitalik Buterin defended these delays as essential for network security, comparing validator commitments to military service requiring “friction in quitting.” The upgrade coincides with growing institutional interest in Ethereum infrastructure, with VanEck predicting that Layer 2 networks could reach $1 trillion market capitalization within six years. Fusaka’s emphasis on data availability and node efficiency supports Ethereum’s evolution toward seamless cross-chain interoperability. The upgrade complements initiatives like the Open Intents Framework, where Coinbase Payments recently joined as a core contributor. The initiative, if successful, will address the $21B surge in cross-chain crime. These coordinated efforts aim to unify the fragmented multichain experience while maintaining Ethereum’s security and decentralization principles
