tripleS 2026ワールドツアー「ANDLESS」

What is tripleS

tripleS is a 24-member K-POP girl group under MODHAUS. They debuted with the mini album 'ASSEMBLE' on February 13, 2023, and launched as the complete 24-member lineup 'ASSEMBLE24' on May 8, 2024. MODHAUS is an agency founded by the former creative director of LOONA.

A defining feature is their unit system with multinational members, where the member lineup changes with each release. Their fandom name is WAV.

The Position of the 2026 World Tour "ANDLESS"

The "ANDLESS" tour taking place in 2026 is a major project in tripleS's activities. This tour is planned to include performances in multiple countries and regions, with each venue featuring a diverse setlist including new songs and title tracks. The tour name "ANDLESS" carries the message that tripleS's creative possibilities are "endless," and fans can expect a concert experience where the artists and fans become one.

Highlights and Points of Interest

tripleS concerts are characterized by diverse performances built around multiple unit configurations. From stages with all members together to unique unit-specific stages, audiences can see a variety of expressions over the course of 2 to 2.5 hours. As this is also a promotional period for their new album, there is a high possibility that special arrangements and medley segments not seen on music shows will be included.

The featured members and unit configurations are pending official announcement, but the multinational musical expression—including Japanese members—and the high-level dance quality are not to be missed.

Performance Information (Currently Known Details)

Since North American tour venues will be announced in stages, checking the latest updates on official SNS and the MODHAUS official website is essential.

Ticket Sales Platforms (Expected Major Options)

Tickets for North American concerts by K-POP artists are generally sold through the following platforms.

Important: Japanese-language support for North American concert ticket sales is limited. Since the purchase process must be completed in English or the local language, we recommend preparing translation tools such as Google Translate or DeepL in advance.

Sales Schedule and Presale Lottery Timeline (Pending Official Announcement)

K-POP concert tickets are typically sold in the following order:

1. Fan Club Member Presale Lottery → Presale for tripleS official fan club members (typically 1–2 weeks before general sale)
2. Live Entertainment Presale → Live Nation and Ticketmaster presale (3–5 days before general sale)
3. General Sale Opens → Sale open to all users (often sells out within 1–2 hours of announcement)

The scheduled sale start date and time is pending official announcement, but you should follow the channels below to be ready to purchase as soon as it's announced:

• MODHAUS official Twitter/X
• MODHAUS official Instagram
• tripleS Japan official Twitter/X
• tripleS English official Twitter/X (e.g., @tripleSOfficial)

Fan Club Member Presale Procedure

Step 1: Join the Official Fan Club

The tripleS official fan club is currently accepting members on the MODHAUS official website. A credit card (VISA/Mastercard) is required to join, and membership fees are set on an annual basis. If you're aiming to get presale access for North American concert tickets, we recommend joining immediately after the tour dates are announced (presale lottery priority may be determined by membership date).

Step 2: Apply for the Presale Lottery

Once the presale lottery opens on the ticket sales site, go to the fan club members' page and enter the following information:

• Fan club member ID
• Email address used at membership registration
• Desired number of tickets (usually 1–4)
• Preferred seating section (multiple selections may be allowed)

Step 3: Lottery Result Notification and Purchase

Lottery results are sent to your registered email address. If you win, you must access the URL provided in the notification and complete payment within the specified period. If the deadline passes without purchase, the tickets will later be released for general sale.

Preparing an International Credit Card and Payment Method

Payment on North American sales sites such as Ticketmaster requires one of the following:

Recommended Method: An Internationally Branded Credit Card

• A VISA/Mastercard internationally branded card (a Japan-issued card is fine)
• Separately, check your fraud prevention settings (it's best to notify your card company in advance that you plan to use it overseas)

Alternative Method: Digital Wallets

• PayPal (register a credit card after obtaining a US account)
• Google Pay / Apple Pay (if supported by the US sales site)

Note: Bank transfers and convenience store payments are not supported for North American ticket sales. Purchases from Japan can only be made via international credit card payment.

Identity Verification and E-Ticket Receipt

After purchase, tickets are received in the following ways:

• Mobile Ticket → A ticket with a QR code is sent to your registered account email address, and you present it on your smartphone screen
• Printed Ticket → If requested, mailed to your address (takes 1–2 weeks to arrive; there is a risk it won't arrive in time if the concert is close)

We recommend mobile tickets because there are no mailing issues, and you can also save a screenshot as a backup.

For identity verification, you may be asked to present ID (passport or driver's license) upon entry.

K-POP Ticket Navi does not recommend purchasing resale tickets.

Why Resale Tickets Are Dangerous

K-pop concerts, especially North American tour shows, have become a hotbed for high-priced ticket resale, and the following risks have been reported:

1. Ticket Invalidation (Denied Entry)

• There have been numerous reported cases of tickets being invalidated right before entry when artists or venues detect resale tickets
• Ticketmaster's official system has security features that deny entry to tickets purchased through resale sites (StubHub, Vivid Seats, etc.)
• In nearly all cases, scanning the QR code at the entry gate results in an "Invalid Ticket" message, with no way to resolve it on the spot

2. Credit Card Fraud

The following types of fraud have been reported during past large-scale K-pop concert trips abroad:

3. The Ticket Doesn't Actually Exist

• Scams where the seller lists a ticket that doesn't actually exist, then disappears after receiving payment
• Be especially suspicious of highly marked-up tickets appearing within days of the official on-sale (it's likely the seller never actually obtained the ticket)

4. Being Charged 2–10x Face Value

For a popular artist like tripleS, the following face-value pricing is anticipated:

How Resale Ticket Detection Systems Work

Ticketmaster and Live Nation track and invalidate resale tickets using the following systems:

1. Tracking serial numbers tied to each ticket

   • Each ticket is assigned a serial number, which is used to detect transfers made outside official sales channels

2. Cross-checking credit card payment history

   • If the card information used to purchase the ticket doesn't match the identity verification information provided at entry, the ticket is invalidated

3. Real-time QR code verification

   • Mobile ticket QR codes are activated only once at entry. Reuse or transfer is not possible (cannot be used by multiple people)

Reported K-Pop Concert Fraud Cases (2023–2025)

Case 1: HYBE artist's US tour (2024)

• A $200 ticket purchased on StubHub was invalidated at the entry gate
• A refund request was attempted but denied, since resale tickets are not covered by any guarantee
• Multiple reports of "over $800 in losses" surfaced within fan communities

Case 2: YG Entertainment North American tour (2024)

• A phishing email claiming "PayPal re-verification required to confirm your ticket" led to the victim's account being hacked
• The fraud wasn't noticed until the following month's concert, by which point $3,500 had been fraudulently charged to the credit card

Case 3: Ticket fraud on Vivid Seats (2025)

• Under the guise of "sending the ticket," the buyer received only a screenshot, and the ticket was invalidated at entry
• Complaints filed with Vivid Seats went unresolved, with the company treating it as "buyer responsibility"

Safe Alternatives

1. Wait for official ticket sales

• Even general sale may sell out, but at least entry is guaranteed
• If a show sells out, it's more reliable to consider a different show than to risk fraud

2. Official ticket exchange services (never use StubHub)

• Use Ticketmaster's official "Fan-to-Fan Exchange" feature (transfers between registered users)
• This method doesn't avoid resale pricing, but since it's verified on Ticketmaster's end, the risk of invalidation is lower

3. Check for direct sales on the venue's official website

• Venues sometimes release discounted "Last Minute Tickets" for public sale a few weeks before the show, even on their own official site

Self-Protection Measures If You Must Buy Resale (As a Last Resort)

If you have no choice but to consider a resale ticket, take these minimal self-protection steps:

• Thoroughly check the seller's ratings → Only consider sellers with hundreds of completed transactions and a rating of 95% or higher
• Avoid paying in full upfront → Only use platforms with escrow functionality
• Request delivery right before entry → Receiving the ticket the day before or day of the show reduces the risk of invalidation
• Set a limit on your credit card → Minimizes damage in the event of fraud

Final warning: In nearly all cases, damage from resale ticket purchases is treated as "the buyer's own responsibility," and you should not expect a refund.

Seating Layout at North American Concert Venues (Typical Arena Example)

K-pop concerts in North America are usually held at mid-sized arenas holding 15,000–25,000 people. The venue capacity for tripleS's 2026 tour is still pending official announcement, but here's the typical seating layout found at North American concert venues:

Floor Plan (Typical Arena Layout)

               ┌─────────────────────┐
               │       STAGE          │
               └─────────────────────┘
         ┌────────────────────────────┐
       104│        100-104             │101
         │   (Mid-tier / inner ring)   │
       200│      110-114              │200
         │   (outer ring)            │
       300│      Floor (pit)          │300
         │    (standing)              │
         │  Front row — most immersive │
         └────────────────────────────┘

Guide by Seating Section

100-Level Sections (Both Sides of the Arena, Closest to the Stage)

Why we recommend it

• tripleS is known for symmetrical group choreography performed by a large lineup. Watching from the front or side lets you appreciate the full precision of the choreography
• You can pick up on fine details in both vocals and dance — a "live" intensity you can't get from YouTube footage
• Since large screens are used extensively throughout the setlist, there's no real disadvantage based on seat position

200-Level Sections (Outer Ring, Mid to Rear)

Why we recommend it

• This price range gives you the best sense of the concert's overall "spatial beauty"
• The sight of the crowd lit up in color by lightsticks is a view you can't get from the front rows
• For special segments like tripleS's unit-specific stages and visual production, seeing the whole picture shows off the full scale of the production

300-Level Sections (Behind the Stage Side)

Why we recommend it

• Worth considering if your budget is limited
• The backstage side is usually reserved for VIP guests and press, so options here tend to be limited in general sale

Floor (Standing / Pit)

Why we recommend it

• The biggest thrill of a K-pop concert is the raw, live intensity. Floor tickets deliver this to the fullest
• For a group with tripleS's caliber of dance skill, being up close lets you truly appreciate their technique
• However, since it's standing room, you'll need the stamina to stand for 2–3 hours

Note: Floor tickets are fiercely contested in general sale and often sell out within seconds of going live. We strongly recommend securing them through the fan club presale.

Tips for Choosing Your Seat

If this is your first trip abroad or you have little live-show experience

• We recommend Sections 200–208 (mid-tier inner ring)
• Reason: The whole stage is in view, and the balance between sightline and distance is optimal. It'll help you decide for future shows whether you want to get closer or try a different angle

If you've attended multiple shows and are deeply invested as a fan

• We recommend 100–104 (front and center) or Floor
• Reason: You can confirm the fine details of members' expressions and precision in their dancing, deepening your love for your favorite member

If you're attending in a group

• Aim for consecutive seats within the same section
• If "Accessible Seating" (for wheelchair users/companions) is offered when applying, check for a step-free area

Price Range Guide and Resale Risk

To avoid resale pricing: Your best bet realistically is to check for limited late-release seats (rear sections) on the morning of general sale.

Venue Information (Pending Official Announcement)

This concert is expected to be held in the Dallas, Texas area, but the specific venue name, address, and facility details are pending official announcement.

The following are anticipated as the major arenas in the Dallas area:

How to check:

• MODHAUS official website (Japanese and English versions)
• tripleS official Twitter/X (@tripleSOfficial, etc.)
• Ticketmaster search (after tour dates are announced)

Access from the Airport (Assuming the Dallas Area)

Main Gateway: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

• Shortest route from Japan

  • Narita/Haneda → Direct flight to Dallas/Fort Worth (approx. 13–14 hours)
  • Connecting routes (via Chicago or San Francisco) are also options

• Access from the airport to downtown

Why we recommend Uber / Lyft:

• Smartphone ride-hailing is the standard in North America. Presents the least language concern
• Can be called via the app immediately upon arrival. No reservation needed
• Cost per person is more affordable when riding as a group

Alternative Gateway: Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL)

• A smaller airport closer to downtown. Mainly served by Southwest Airlines
• Fewer international flights than DFW, but if usable, access to downtown is a convenient 20 minutes or so

Access to the Venue (Using American Airlines Center as an Example)

Access from Downtown Dallas

• Walking → If your lodging is downtown, you can reach the venue in 10–20 minutes from many hotels
• DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) → Get off at "St. Paul" station from the downtown station (5 minutes, $2.75). 2-minute walk from the station to the venue
• Bus → DART bus routes (multiple lines). In North America, you can search schedules via apps (Google Maps / Transit App)

Access from Surrounding Areas

Highland Park District (Northwest) → Approx. 15–20 min (car/Uber) Uptown District → Approx. 10–15 min (car/Uber) Fort Worth Area → Approx. 30–40 min (car/Uber)

Parking Information Around the Venue

Recommendation: Using Uber / Lyft to avoid the stress of parking is a choice that will let you focus more on the concert.

Flow and Expected Congestion Before and After the Show

Entry Start (Pending Official Announcement. General Pattern)

• Security check begins → 1.5–2 hours before showtime (e.g., if showtime is 19:00, starts at 17:00)
• Recommended entry completion time → 30 minutes before showtime

Predicted Congestion Peaks

What's Required at the Security Check

• Valid identification (passport required)
• Ticket (mobile or printed)
• X-ray inspection of bags/belongings (liquids and cans are prohibited)

Flow After the Show Starts

• Opening through the setlist → Usually 2 to 2.5 hours (tripleS is expected to run around 2.5 hours)
• Encore → 10–20 minutes
• Exit begins → 23:00–23:30 (depending on the performance)

Post-show Congestion and Countermeasures

Exit Peak (First 30 Minutes)

• Major congestion around the venue. Uber / Lyft ride requests especially concentrate, causing 5–15 minute waits
• Congestion from pedestrians heading to hotels/stations

Recommended Countermeasures

1. Don't rush to leave immediately → Use the restroom inside the venue and spend 15–20 minutes at the merchandise shop
2. Time your ride request via the app → Use the "schedule a ride" feature to book in advance to match your exit time
3. Prioritize public transit if near a station → DART Light Rail/buses are reliable since they don't get stuck in traffic

Getting Around and Language Support in North America

If You're Unsure About English

• Google Translate app (camera translation feature instantly translates signs and displays)
• Uber / Lyft have no Japanese support. However, no language is needed (just enter your destination)
• Taxis require conversation with the driver. Avoid if you're not confident in English

Phone / SIM Measures

• Using your Japanese phone as-is → High cost of $3–5 per GB (international roaming)
• Buying a local SIM (airport, Target / Walmart) → Many unlimited 7-day plans for $30–50
• eSIM services (such as Airalo) → No hassle with advance purchase and setup

Recommendation: Securing a SIM / eSIM before traveling to the US and having Google Maps and the Uber app ready to use immediately upon local arrival is the biggest point in preventing getting lost or being taken advantage of.

Choosing a Hotel Near the Venue (Assuming American Airlines Center, Downtown Dallas)

Hotel Map by Distance

Recommended Hotels by Budget

Ultra-Luxury / Best Experience Focus ($250–400/night)

Merits

• The best sleep environment leads to faster recovery from concert fatigue
• A plan with breakfast/lounge access means less hassle
• Also suited to splitting accommodation among family/groups (multiple people per room)

Demerits

• Total accommodation cost becomes large ($500–1,200 for 2–3 nights)
• Staying alone tends to be relatively expensive

Balanced / Cost-Performance Focus ($120–200/night)

Merits

• $120–200/night secures sufficient cleanliness and comfort
• For repeat trips, Marriott/Hilton point accumulation earns discounts
• Being a business hotel, there are no facility/service "landmines"

Demerits

• Limited sense of luxury. No lavish breakfast or spa
• Can exceed $200 during peak periods (the night before a concert)

Recommended plan: The balanced option is best for first-time trip-goers. It saves budget without sacrificing comfort.

Budget Focus / Savings-Oriented ($80–120/night)

Merits

• Achieves the trip with minimal accommodation cost
• With group/multi-person sharing, cost can be compressed to as low as $30 per person

Demerits

• Cleanliness varies. Many older facilities
• Slow response in case of trouble
• Often 2–3km from the venue, making transportation essential

Warning: Budget hotels can also be in higher-crime areas. Watch out for fake reviews on Airbnb. Beginners are advised to avoid these options.

Points for Choosing a Hotel

Location Selection (Location Is the Top Priority)

1. Within 15 minutes on foot from the venue → Easier return trip. Also safer at night
2. Close to a train station/bus stop → Ideally within a 5-minute walk of a DART Light Rail station
3. Restaurants and convenience stores nearby → Easy access to late-night snacks and breakfast

Practical Hotel Booking

North American Hotel Booking Sites (with Japanese Support)

Recommended: Booking.com. With Japanese language support and a free-cancellation filter, you can handle sudden schedule changes.

Check-in / Check-out Practicalities

Booking Timing (Important)

Early Booking Is Essential for K-POP Concert Accommodation

Timeline

Smart Booking Strategy

Step 1: Obtain Venue Information (Now)

• Check the tripleS official Twitter/X and MODHAUS official site daily
• Once the venue is decided, search hotels and register a watchlist on Booking.com/Expedia

Step 2: Book Hotel at the Same Time as Ticket Sale Information (Recommended Timing)

• Book the hotel at the same time you're able to purchase tickets
• At this stage, several good hotel options still remain

Step 3: Secure a Free-Cancellation Plan

• Also plan for the possibility of not being able to go due to weather, health, etc.
• Always enable Booking.com's "free cancellation" filter
• Even if slightly more expensive, a free-cancellation plan provides peace of mind

Group / Multi-Person Accommodation Strategy

Multiple Rooms vs. Sharing One Room

Recommended: For a first-time trip, minimize cost by "sharing one room." Consider multiple rooms from the second trip onward.

When Sharing an Airbnb Among Multiple People

• Rent one room and split the cost among the group ($30–50 per person)
• Choose listings with a host rating of 4.8 or higher and reviews mentioning "group-friendly"
• Confirm with the host before check-in with a note such as "We are a group of 4"

Specific store names are only reliable once the venue is confirmed

This show is still waiting on an official venue announcement. Listing nearby stores before the venue is fixed tends to produce places that turn out to be too far away to actually visit. Instead of naming stores here, this section lays out the steps to quickly research the area once the venue is confirmed.

Step 1: Look at the map centered on the venue

1. Search for the venue name in a map app
2. Check "Nearby spots" for cafes / quick bites / drugstores
3. Always check the business hours and the date of the reviews

That third point matters. Closed stores, or stores that are closed during the show's time slot, can still show up near the top. As a rule of thumb, look for reviews posted within the last 3 months.

Step 2: What you'll actually need on the day

What actually causes trouble on a trip like this isn't sightseeing — it's these four things.

Step 3: Local fans' posts are the fastest source

About 1–2 weeks before the show, local fans start posting under tags like "artist name + city name" on social media about cafe events (like cup-holder giveaways) and pop-ups happening nearby. This information is faster than official announcements and more specific about locations. Checking again on the morning of the show can also catch last-minute changes.

Things to watch out for in Dallas

• It's a car-dependent city. Don't count on getting around on foot — plan around Uber / Lyft
• Parking near the venue can often be reserved in advance, which tends to be cheaper and more reliable than looking on the day
• Rideshare fares rise after the show ends. Common workarounds are walking a few blocks before requesting a ride, or staggering your departure time
• In November, Dallas runs around 20°C (68°F) during the day and can drop below 10°C (50°F) morning and night. Indoor air conditioning tends to be strong

If you're planning to add sightseeing, the official tourism site visitdallas.com has up-to-date business information.

Pre-Departure Preparation Checklist (Starting 2 Weeks Before)

Passport / Visa Check

• Confirm your passport's validity (entry to the US requires at least 6 months of validity remaining from your planned return date)
• Apply for and obtain an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) (Japanese citizens typically enter via ESTA. Application fee is $14; takes 3–5 days to process)

  • Reason: If one card fails to read, you need a backup

Phone / Connectivity

• Purchase a US-compatible SIM/eSIM (e.g. Airalo) or set up international roaming
• Download translation/navigation apps such as Google Translate and Transit App
• Install the Uber/Lyft app and create an account (Japanese credit cards can be registered)
• Note down emergency contacts (e.g. the Japanese Consulate in Dallas)

Ticket / Reservation Confirmation

• Hotel reservation confirmation (save email / print it)
• Rental car confirmation (if applicable)

Health / Prevention

Summary: Tips for a Successful Trip

1. Conserving energy is the top priority → Good sleep the night before and a nap on the day of the show are the foundation of everything
2. Thorough hydration → Preventing dehydration and heatstroke is 100% about prevention — response after the fact is too slow
3. Money and safety management → Avoid resale tickets and fraud, and always prioritize official channels
4. Connecting with locals and the fan community → Concert memories are made of "the show + the people"
5. Prioritize the experience over photos and recording → Focus on your favorite member's expressions and performance instead of staring at your phone the whole time

Finally: For a first-time trip to North America, the uncertainty during preparation can feel overwhelming. But if you follow this checklist, you can avoid nearly all unexpected trouble. Enjoy the best possible concert experience with tripleS, safely.
