Epik High Seoul concert 2027: Melon Global sale times and the STAGE PASS cutoff
The Epik High Seoul concert in January 2027 goes on general sale on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 at 20:00 KST, on Melon Global for buyers who live outside Korea, as long as the presale does not sell out first. The membership presale on 2 October is already out of reach for anyone who did not hold a STAGE PASS by 24 September at 23:59 KST. We opened Epik High's official presale notice on 1 October; its sign-up line now carries the words SIGN-UP CLOSED.
The concert runs three nights at KSPO DOME (케이스포돔) in Olympic Park: Friday 22 January at 20:00, Saturday 23 January at 18:00 and Sunday 24 January at 16:00 KST. Each show is 120 minutes and the age rating is 12 and over. It is the trio's first solo concert at KSPO DOME since their 2003 debut, as Xportsnews reported on 29 September.
What time does the Epik High ticket sale open where you live?
Both sale windows open at 20:00 KST, which is 11:00 UTC. We converted that to each local clock using the offset in effect on each date. Sydney moves from AEST to AEDT on 4 October, so its time shifts by an hour between the two sales.
| City | Presale, Fri 2 Oct (STAGE PASS only) | General sale, Wed 7 Oct |
|---|---|---|
| Seoul | 20:00 KST | 20:00 KST |
| Tokyo | 20:00 JST | 20:00 JST |
| Manila | 19:00 PHT | 19:00 PHT |
| Jakarta | 18:00 WIB | 18:00 WIB |
| Bangkok | 18:00 ICT | 18:00 ICT |
| Sydney | 21:00 AEST | 22:00 AEDT |
| Paris | 13:00 CEST | 13:00 CEST |
| London | 12:00 BST | 12:00 BST |
| São Paulo | 08:00 BRT | 08:00 BRT |
| New York and Toronto | 07:00 EDT | 07:00 EDT |
| Los Angeles and Vancouver | 04:00 PDT | 04:00 PDT |
If you are in Los Angeles and searching Epik High tickets after the North American tour, the Seoul sale is a 04:00 alarm on a Wednesday.
Can you still get into the STAGE PASS presale?
Only if you already had it. The notice gives three rules that decide this:
- Cutoff. New members had to join STAGE PASS on b.stage (비스테이지) by 24 September 2026, 23:59 KST. The notice's FAQ says anyone who joins later cannot take part in this concert's presale.
- STREAM PASS does not count. The notice calls STREAM PASS a separate subscription for artist and fan communication. Presale access goes only to STAGE PASS.
- Existing members do not rejoin. A STAGE PASS stays valid for one year from the sign-up date.
The notice was posted on 21 September at 11:00 KST. The Korean press wrote up the KSPO DOME dates on 29 September, five days after the cutoff. If you first heard about the concert from those articles, STAGE PASS sign-ups for this presale had already closed, even though the presale itself had not started.
If you do hold a STAGE PASS, verify before the sale. Melon Global's verification window is open from 29 September at 14:00 KST to 3 October at 23:59 KST. You enter the email you used for the membership and your membership number, which is on your b.stage profile page. The notice warns that the number works as your personal presale code, so do not post a screenshot of it. Presale purchases are limited to 2 tickets per person per show.
Joining now still counts for later events. The FAQ says members who joined after the cutoff keep other STAGE PASS benefits and, if they keep the membership, get presale access to future offline events such as concerts and fan meetings.
Melon Global ticketing tips for overseas fans
Melon Global is the overseas version of Melon Ticket (멜론티켓). Its product page says the service is for foreigners living outside Korea and that Korean residents should use the Korean site. We read the page on 1 October without a Melon Global ticket login, so everything below is what a logged-out visitor can see. If this is your first time using Melon Global ticketing, these four rules are the ones to sort out before 7 October:
- Card. Payment must be made with a foreign credit card, not a Korean card.
- Card security. The page asks you to register your card's secure authentication on the card company's website before booking. It says UnionPay does not need that registration.
- Name. The name you enter when you buy must match your passport exactly.
- Pickup. You bring your passport to the ticket office to collect tickets. The will-call rule asks for your booking confirmation and the original ID; a copy or photo is not accepted.
The page also notes that Korean nationals living overseas who hit an error during passport verification should contact Melon Ticket customer service through a 1:1 inquiry.
Epik High concert ticket prices and cancellation fees
Melon Global lists three seat grades in Korean won. Two R seats come to 352,000 won ≈$254 before service fees; the page does not state the service fee amount.
| Seat grade | Price |
|---|---|
| R | 176,000 won ≈$127 |
| S | 165,000 won ≈$119 |
| A | 154,000 won ≈$111 |
The cancellation policy on the same page:
| When you cancel | Fee |
|---|---|
| Within 7 days after booking | None |
| Day 8 after purchase until 10 days before the show | 4,000 won ≈$2.89 per ticket, capped at 10% of the ticket price |
| From 7 days before the show | 10% of the ticket price |
| From 3 days before the show | 20% |
| From 1 day before the show | 30% |
Service fees are not refunded after the day of purchase. The page also warns that cancelling after 23:30 KST may fail with some banks because of overnight maintenance.
What the notice does not tell you yet
The general sale is not guaranteed. The notice says that if tickets sell out during the presale period, the general sale may not open. The presale ends on 3 October at 23:59 KST, so check the Melon Global page after that before planning around 7 October.
We could not find a seat map, the service fee amount, or a general sale ticket limit on the pages we checked. Melon Global's per-person limit was not shown before login.
For getting there: KSPO DOME sits inside Olympic Park, and the nearest stop is Olympic Park Station (올림픽공원역) on Lines 5 and 9. Our KSPO DOME page lists the exit, capacity figures and parking notes from the venue operator.
