TWICE sold 459,000 tickets across 30 U.S. performances, setting a reported single-tour ticket-sales record in the country for a female Asian artist.
Key Takeaways
- TWICE sold 459,000 tickets across 30 U.S. shows, a reported single-tour record for a female Asian artist in the United States.
- North America brought in $72,490,155 and 540,977 tickets from 35 sold-out shows, expanded from an original 22-date plan.
- The reported route has no Latin American dates, unlike TWICE’s previous READY TO BE tour.
TWICE’s New U.S. Touring Record
TWICE sold 459,000 tickets across 30 shows in the United States. K-POPdays reported on October 9, 2026, that this is the highest single-tour ticket total in the U.S. for a female Asian artist. The number covers U.S. venues only, not the full North American run.
U.S. Sales Versus the North American Total
The 459,000 figure applies only to the 30 U.S. shows. The wider U.S.-Canada leg reached 540,977 tickets across 35 dates, according to allkpop’s October 9, 2026 report. That leg generated $72,490,155. Every listed North American show on that report was marked sold out.
How Arena Volume Powered the Result
TWICE originally planned 22 shows in North America. Soompi reported on April 24, 2026, that the group expanded the route to 35 shows across 20 cities due to demand. The North American leg wrapped on April 18, 2026. The extra 13 arena dates added volume rather than relying on a small number of giant stadium shows.
Southeast Asia’s Contribution
Several Southeast Asian stops on the tour have confirmed ticket counts and grosses:
| City/Country | Shows | Tickets Sold | Gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulacan, Philippines | 1 | 48,555 | $5.35 million |
| Singapore | 2 | 20,185 | $4.20 million |
| Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | 1 | 15,327 | $3.04 million |
| Bangkok, Thailand | 2 | 23,686 | $4.05 million |
The Bulacan show at the Philippine Arena was the largest single Southeast Asian stop in this dataset, both in tickets and in gross.
The Missing Latin American Leg
The reported THIS IS FOR route does not include any Latin American dates. This is a change from TWICE’s previous READY TO BE tour, which included stops in Mexico and Brazil. The current reported schedule does not list a show in the region.
What Fans Saw on the 360-Degree Stage
THIS IS FOR used TWICE’s first 360-degree concert stage. Billboard Philippines described the Philippine Arena setup as a 360-degree stage placed beneath four LED screens. The show opened with “FOUR,” then moved into the title track “THIS IS FOR.” The encore included “SIGNAL” and “Talk That Talk.”
