From Seoul
$1,200
Ticket only. Public transport to the venue, no accommodation.
We haven’t priced the trip for this one yet. When we do, the next three cities get a cell each: ticket, the cheapest return fare seven weeks out, and two nights at the median rate within 1km, as one total.

Method: flights are the cheapest return fare found seven weeks out; hotel is two nights within 1km of the venue at the median rate for those dates; prices in USD at 3 Sept 2026 rates. We don’t book anything and we don’t earn from these numbers — they’re here because the ticket price is the smaller half of the decision.
