## Key points

- Brazil is questioning the tour’s reduced screen setup.
- South American shows use four screens, compared with 12 elsewhere.
- Live Nation says the setup was shown on the ticket map.

## Summary

Brazil’s consumer protection agency has asked Live Nation Brasil and Ticketmaster Brasil to explain why BTS’ ARIRANG tour uses fewer screens in South America than in other regions. The inquiry follows complaints from fans and matters because the agency is examining whether ticket buyers received clear information about the stage setup and whether the configuration affects visibility.

The tour’s South American shows have four screens, compared with 12 used on other continents. Live Nation says the setup matches the official event map published when sales opened in April 2026, and that four LED screens in a central tower face all sides of the stadium. It attributes the regional design to logistical and scheduling constraints; the tour has grossed more than $500 million since launching in April and continues in Asia through 2027.
