TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' Berlin

TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' — Berlin

Date: May 23, 2026 Venue: Uber Arena, Berlin, Germany

TWICE is bringing their 'THIS IS FOR' world tour to Berlin, marking another milestone in the group's ever-expanding global presence. This concert is a love letter from TWICE to ONCE — their devoted fandom — celebrating years of memories, music, and milestones together.

What to Expect

TWICE's concerts are known for their high production value: dazzling LED stages, elaborate costume changes, fan-interactive segments, and a setlist that spans their entire discography — from early hits like Cheer Up and TT to more recent releases. Expect a mix of upbeat bops, emotional ballads, and unit stages.

About Uber Arena

Uber Arena (formerly Mercedes-Benz Arena) is one of Berlin's premier indoor entertainment venues, with a capacity of approximately 17,000. It has hosted major international acts and is fully equipped for large-scale K-POP productions. The arena is well-connected to Berlin's public transport network, making it accessible from virtually any part of the city.

ONCE in Berlin

Berlin has a vibrant K-POP community, and TWICE concerts in Europe consistently sell out fast. Whether you're a local fan or traveling internationally, this is a rare opportunity to see one of the biggest girl groups in K-POP history perform live on European soil. Come ready — light stick in hand, voice warmed up, and heart full.

How to Get Tickets

Scoring tickets for a TWICE concert in Europe requires preparation. Here's a step-by-step strategy to maximize your chances.

Step 1 — Monitor Official Channels

Always start with the official ticket seller. For European TWICE shows, tickets are typically sold through platforms like Eventim, Ticketmaster DE, or the official tour website. Check TWICE's official social media accounts (Twitter/X, Instagram, Weverse) and the Uber Arena website for announcements.

Step 2 — Fan Club Presale (ONCE Membership)

• TWICE often offers fan club presales for ONCE members through Weverse or other official platforms.
• Presales typically open 4–6 weeks before the show date.
• If you're not already a member, join Weverse in advance — membership verification can take time.
• Presale slots are limited and go fast; have your payment details ready before the sale opens.

Step 3 — General On-Sale

• Set multiple alarms for the general on-sale time.
• Use a desktop browser — mobile apps can lag during high-traffic sales.
• Open multiple browser tabs across different ticketing platforms if the show is listed on more than one.
• Add items to your cart quickly; holding time in virtual queues is limited.

Seat Categories (Typical)

• Floor / Standing (GA) — closest to the stage, high energy crowd
• Lower Bowl / Cat 1 — excellent sightlines, assigned seating
• Upper Bowl / Cat 2–3 — more affordable, still a great show experience

Tips

• Never buy from unverified third parties at this stage — use official channels only.
• Screenshot your confirmation email immediately after purchase.
• Consider buying travel insurance if you're flying in from abroad.

Resale Market — Know the Risks

For popular K-POP concerts in Europe, the resale market can be chaotic. Here's what you need to know to protect yourself.

Why Resale Is Risky

TWICE concerts in Europe sell out quickly, which drives demand on secondary markets. Unfortunately, this also attracts scalpers and scammers who list fake or invalid tickets at inflated prices.

Common Scams to Avoid

• Screenshot/PDF fakes: Scammers sell screenshots of legitimate tickets. These will be rejected at the door.
• Duplicate tickets: A real ticket that has already been used or will be used by the original buyer before you arrive.
• Social media strangers: Be extremely cautious buying from individuals on Twitter/X, Instagram DMs, or Facebook groups — there is no buyer protection.
• False VIP offers: Anyone claiming to sell "backstage passes" or "artist meet & greet" tickets not offered through official channels is almost certainly a scammer.

Safer Resale Options

If official tickets are sold out, use platforms that offer buyer guarantees:

• StubHub
• Viagogo (verify the guarantee policy carefully before purchasing)
• Eventim Fan-to-Fan (if available for this event)

These platforms at least offer refunds if the ticket turns out to be invalid, though prices will likely be significantly above face value.

Price Reality Check

Resale prices for sold-out TWICE shows in Europe have historically reached 2x–5x face value. Set a personal budget limit and stick to it.

Refund Policies

• Official tickets: Refunds are generally only issued if the event is cancelled or significantly changed by the organizer.
• Resale tickets: Policies vary by platform — read the fine print before purchasing.

Bottom line: Buy official. If that's not possible, use a reputable resale platform with a buyer guarantee and pay by credit card for added protection.

Typical Concert Zone Breakdown

Tips for Each Zone

Floor (GA Standing):

• Arrive early (2–3 hours before doors open) to secure a good position near the barrier.
• Bring comfortable shoes — you'll be on your feet for 2+ hours.
• The area near the front barricade fills up extremely quickly.

Lower Bowl:

• Blocks directly facing the main stage offer the best sightlines.
• Angled side blocks can still be excellent — TWICE typically performs across the full stage width.

Upper Bowl:

• Don't underestimate upper sections — sound quality at Uber Arena is strong throughout the venue.
• You'll enjoy a panoramic view of the full stage production, lighting rigs, and crowd energy.

Uber Arena has dedicated wheelchair spaces and companion seating. Contact the venue directly or use the accessibility options on the official ticketing platform when purchasing. Early booking is strongly recommended.

Light Stick Policy

TWICE's official light stick is the CANDYBONG Z. Most European venues allow personal light sticks. Confirm with Uber Arena's event-specific rules closer to the date. Oversized banners or signs may be restricted.
