Melbourne — John Cain Arena

Date: April 17, 2026 · Capacity: ~10,500

Melbourne in mid-April means autumn weather — expect 12–18 °C with possible rain.

From Tullamarine Airport, the SkyBus to Southern Cross Station takes about 30 minutes ($19.80 one-way). Post-concert trains run until approximately 00:30 on weeknights.

The Homebush area around the venue is sparse for dining, so eat in the CBD before heading out or pack snacks.

Bangkok — Impact Arena

Date: July 4, 2026 · Capacity: ~12,000

Bangkok in July is hot (32–35 °C) and humid with afternoon thunderstorms — stay hydrated and bring a compact umbrella. Impact Arena is in Muang Thong Thani, about 30 minutes north of central Bangkok. There is no direct rail link; take a BTS Skytrain to Mo Chit then a shuttle bus or taxi (~150–250 THB). From Suvarnabhumi Airport, the ARL to Phaya Thai then BTS to Mo Chit takes about 60 minutes. After the show, expect heavy traffic; pre-book a Grab car or wait 30 minutes for crowds to thin.

Manila — SM Mall of Asia Arena

Date: July 11, 2026 · Capacity: ~20,000

MOA Arena is inside the massive Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City, about 15 minutes from NAIA Terminal 3 by taxi (200–350 PHP) or Grab. Manila traffic is notoriously heavy, so allow 2+ hours from Makati or BGC during rush hour. The LRT-1 to EDSA Station plus a short taxi ride is often faster than driving. July is peak rainy season — expect sudden heavy downpours, so waterproof shoes and a rain poncho are essential.

Don't miss: Intramuros walking tour, Binondo (world's oldest Chinatown) for hopia and siopao, Poblacion rooftop bars, Makati Korean food strip on Jupiter Street, and the iconic Manila sunset from MOA Seaside.

8. Ticketing Tips

ITZY tickets sell out quickly, especially in smaller venues like Keio Arena Tokyo (10,000 seats). Here are the official platforms by city: Ticketmaster for Melbourne and Sydney, Ticketmelon for Bangkok, SM Tickets or TicketNet for Manila, Tixcraft for Kaohsiung, and the venue's official site plus SISTIC for Singapore. For Tokyo, expect a lottery system (抽選) through JYP Japan's official fanclub.

Resale tip: if you must buy resale, only use platforms with buyer protection (StubHub, Viagogo's "FanProtect"). Avoid Twitter/X or Instagram DM sellers entirely. Typical resale markup ranges from 1.5x for Bangkok/Manila to 3–4x for Tokyo lottery tickets.

Pro tip: Join local MIDZY fan groups on Twitter/X and KakaoTalk — fans often sell extra tickets at face value or organize group purchases.
