Booking deadlines by visit date You must complete your purchase by the day before your visit. The overall sales deadline listed on the official page is November 21, 2026 at 23:59 (South Korea). This does not mean tickets for every visit date remain available until that time.

You cannot buy tickets on-site on the day instead, so check that your payment has been completed. Admission prices and supporting documents for youth tickets A standard adult ticket costs 18,000 won, and a youth ticket costs 8,000 won. Check the date-of-birth requirement before choosing a youth ticket. The purchase limit is 2 tickets per person per day.

The official guide gives examples such as a student ID, youth ID, passport, or copy of a resident registration record. Without proof, the discount and admission may be restricted. Tickets for 1 adult and 1 youth total 26,000 won. This is calculated by adding the official prices. Check the purchase screen for final payment items, including any booking fees. How to book G-STAR tickets Start your purchase on the general visitor page of the official website. The page has a ticket purchase button and a pre-purchase confirmation process. Check your visit date and ticket type again before paying. Open the official General Visitor BTC Guide. Check the sales status and ticket availability for your preferred date. Disable your browser’s pop-up blocker. If the purchase screen does not open, check your pop-up settings first. Click “Buy Tickets.” Review the consent to provide personal information to Ticketlink as a third party. After giving consent, select “Complete Pre-Purchase Confirmation.” On the next screen, check the visit date, ticket type, and quantity, then pay. On the day of your visit, collect your wristband at the on-site admission wristband exchange counter. Ticket verification closes at 17:00. The official BTC guidelines state that visitors carrying dangerous items may be denied admission. Costumes that violate laws and regulations are also subject to restrictions. Check the safety rules on the same page before visiting. Three deadlines to check if you are arriving late Completing your booking does not mean you have completed the on-site admission process. The purchase deadline and ticket verification deadline are separate. You must collect an admission wristband before entering the exhibition halls. When to check Deadline What to factor into your visit plans The day before your visit Purchase deadline for your visit date Do not set off expecting to buy tickets on the day The day of your visit Ticket verification closes at 17:00 Allow time to complete the wristband exchange process The day of your visit Admission closes at 17:30 Plan your journey with this deadline separate from the verification deadline If you have not collected your wristband, plan around the 17:00 ticket verification deadline. If you base your arrival time only on 17:30, you may miss the verification process. Add time for getting to the venue and waiting in line to your transport arrival time. Cancellation fees and a calculation example Do not judge cancellation costs solely by how many days have passed since booking. The time remaining until your visit takes priority. The official cancellation fee section of the BTC ticket guide states: The conditions based on the visit date take priority over those based on the booking date. Cancellation timing Official cancellation fee Within 7 days of booking None, but visit-date conditions take priority From 8 days after booking until 10 days before the visit 2,000 won per ticket, at most 10% of the ticket price From 9 days to 7 days before the visit 10% of the ticket price From 6 days to 3 days before the visit 20% of the ticket price From 2 days to 1 day before the visit 30% of the ticket price A separate exception applies to cancellations before midnight on the day of booking. If you cancel within the cancellation deadline, there is no cancellation fee, and the booking fee is also refunded. Check your booking details for the actual cancellation deadline. For example, suppose you book an adult ticket 3 days before your visit. If you cancel the next day, you fall into the 30% bracket for 2 days before the visit. The calculated cancellation fee is 5,400 won. The calculation is 18,000 won × 30%, and this must be distinguished from the exception for cancellations on the day of booking. Exhibitors and what to look for If there is a game you want to see, check the exhibitor and booth location first. The official website lists BTC and BTB exhibitors separately. If you are visiting as a member of the general public, plan around the BTC exhibitor guide.
