What happened

It’s time to take a break from studying for finals.

Why it matters

From May 16-19, BTS is dropping into Stanford Stadium for three huge concerts as part of their ongoing ‘Arirang World Tour.’ And, based on our findings, ticket prices are dropping to see The Bangtan Boys live at the Cardinals’ home field.

Perspective signals
