1.6 Million Tickets and Still Counting: Reading TWICE's 'THIS IS FOR' Tour

A tour is a year written in tickets. TWICE's THIS IS FOR world tour opened at Inspire Arena in Incheon in July 2025 and closed with three encore nights at Seoul's KSPO Dome in July 2026. In between came domes in Japan, stadiums in Taiwan and Hong Kong, a sold-out North American run and a European arena leg. As of November 3, 2026, the independent tracker Touring Data lists a reported gross of $229,109,702 and 1,616,534 tickets sold across 75 of the tour's 81 shows.

Those are big numbers, and they deserve a careful reading. Here is what they say, region by region, and what they do not say.

The headline: $229 million, with six dates still uncounted

Touring Data's total covers reported shows only. Six of the 81 dates, the three Tokyo National Stadium nights in April 2026 and the three Seoul encore nights at KSPO Dome in July, are still listed as "TBA," and as of November 3 we found no box office figures for them from Touring Data, Billboard Boxscore or another tracker. So these are figures through November 3, and the real total is higher than the reported one.

What has been published for those six nights is attendance from the agency, not box office. JYP Entertainment said the Tokyo shows drew about 80,000 people a night, 240,000 in all, the first solo concerts by an overseas artist at the stadium, ORICON and Korea JoongAng Daily reported. For Seoul, Aju Press reported, citing JYP, that all three encore nights sold out. Neither figure is a reported gross, so neither is added to the totals here.

Two more figures from the same page help describe the tour's shape. The average reported ticket price is $141.73, and the average reported show sold 21,554 tickets. The promoter listed for the tour is Live Nation.

For scale, Touring Data lists TWICE's previous tour, READY TO BE, at $170.45 million. By that tracker's own numbers, THIS IS FOR has already grossed about a third more, with dates still unreported.

Region by region

Touring Data breaks the reported total into four regions:

• Asia: $122,770,263 and 866,217 tickets from 25 of 31 shows reported.
• North America: $72,490,155 and 540,977 tickets from all 35 shows.
• Europe: $26,123,301 and 154,309 tickets from 11 shows.
• Oceania: $7,725,983 and 55,031 tickets from 4 shows.

Asia carries more than half of the reported gross, even with six Asian dates still missing. That is the quiet story of this tour. The North American run drew the headlines in the United States, but the largest single rooms were in Asia: three nights at Taipei Dome reported $22.5 million and 120,936 tickets, and two nights at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium reported $18.6 million and 93,748 tickets.

The American record, and its exact scope

In the United States, KWAVE DESK, citing K-POPdays, reports that TWICE sold 459,000 tickets across 30 U.S. shows, the highest single-tour ticket total in the country for a female Asian artist. KPOPWORLD lists 17 U.S. cities on the route. Add the Canadian dates and the North American leg reaches the 540,977 tickets in Touring Data's table, from a run that KWAVE DESK says grew from an original plan of 22 dates to 35.

Billboard's own Boxscore gives a narrower but official window. In its Midyear 2026 Report, which counts shows reported between October 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026, TWICE ranks No. 12 among all tours with $58.3 million and 434,000 tickets from 28 reported shows, and No. 2 among K-pop acts, behind SEVENTEEN.

How to read these numbers

Applause works best when it is precise. A few notes:

• Different counters, different totals. Touring Data compiles reports independently. Billboard Boxscore counts what promoters and venues submit for a given period. The two will not match, and neither covers every show.
• Tickets are not always attendance. KWAVE DESK points out that several audience figures circulate for this tour, and they measure different things.
• Records have scopes. "Female Asian artist in the U.S." and "K-pop girl group in North America" are different records. As Asian Entertainment and Culture notes, comparing published totals is not the same as proving one tour earned more than another overall.

ACROSS ASIA

Taiwan may be the tour's most striking market. Taipei Dome, which opened in October 2023, gave TWICE its biggest reported stop: three nights and 120,936 tickets in March 2026. Four months earlier, two nights at Kaohsiung's National Stadium had reported 106,475. Together, Taiwan's two cities account for about 227,000 reported tickets, more than any single country in Europe or Oceania on this tour. Japan, meanwhile, showed the classic dome model: Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Tokyo Dome, two nights each, roughly 389,000 reported tickets in all.

A fresh perspective: consistency as a craft

What these tables show best is not a single peak. It is consistency. Touring Data lists every North American show at 100 percent sold, from a one-night arena in Phoenix to four nights at the Forum near Los Angeles. A tour that sells out a hockey arena in Saint Paul and a stadium in Kaohsiung in the same year is doing something hard: being the right size everywhere.

On this tour, TWICE did not just play bigger rooms. They played more kinds of rooms, in more places, and filled them. That is a number worth applauding, even before the last six dates are counted. We will update this table when they are.
