Understanding IVE's Concert Ticket Prices at the 2026 NOL Festival

In Korea, there is significant interest surrounding IVE's appearance at the 2026 NOL Festival, prompting many to inquire about concert ticket prices. This large-scale indoor music festival, scheduled for October 17-18 at Ilsan KINTEX Exhibition Center 2, features a diverse lineup across K-POP, SUPER LIVE, and EDM stages, drawing an estimated 100,000 attendees.

The NOL Festival's ticketing system differentiates between stages. While SUPER LIVE and EDM stages offer paid tickets at 50,000 KRW each, the K-POP stage, where IVE performs, was primarily accessible through free (0 KRW) tickets awarded to winners of a prior event. This free ticket application process saw immense demand, accumulating approximately 1.8 million entries for super early bird, early bird, and general free tickets. Paid ticketing for the SUPER LIVE and EDM stages began on September 15, with pre-sales for NOL card members and general sales later that day.

Local bloggers emphasize the importance of understanding these distinct ticketing methods, especially noting that the 50,000 KRW tickets do not grant access to IVE's K-POP stage. The high volume of free ticket applications for the K-POP stage highlights the strong public enthusiasm for IVE's performance at the festival, indicating that direct purchase for their specific stage was not an option for most attendees.
