Global K-pop phenomenon TWICE has once again proved its increasing popularity as concert tickets to the group’s 4th World Tour III in Japan immediately sold out within a few minutes. According to websites which were selling the girl group’s tickets, the servers, too, went down as fans rushed to purchase tickets.
The upcoming concerts at the Tokyo Dome in Japan will be the group’s first performance in the country in about two years.

The record-breaking group has also become the first-ever female group to perform at the stadium for this event.
TWICE sells out concert tickets in Japan, servers break down due to online congestion
According to various ticketing sites, the K-pop girl group sold out tickets for all three concert dates at the Tokyo Dome as part of its 4th World Tour III, which will take place on April 23, 24 and 25.
Additionally, different ticketing website servers, too, broke down due to heavy online traffic from fans logging on at the same time as soon as the tickets went on sale. The concert tickets went on sale on April 2, 2022 and sold out quickly.
Trying to accommodate as many fans as possible to see the girls live, JYP Entertainment added the latest concert date to the list after seeing an explosive ticket sale in the first two days.
The group celebrated the fifth anniversary of its official Japanese debut this year and has prepared various activities to celebrate with its fans. The upcoming concerts in Japan will be an in-person event which has increased anticipation as fans look forward to seeing the girls up close two years after their last concert in 2019.
The group’s agency, JYP Entertainment, also revealed that the group will also hold an exclusive live distribution and live viewing sale of its 4th World Tour III for those who are unable to attend the concerts in Japan.
Additionally, TWICE-themed merchandise will also be on sale at the Tokyo Dome. Fans will be able to purchase the group’s customized light sticks, t-shirts, trading cards, photocards, limited edition DVDs and more.
