Some 95,000 tickets for BTS’ America tour sold out within minutes of being released, according to its agency Big Hit Entertainment Monday.

During the “2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour,” BTS will perform in Santiago, Chile on March 12, 2017; Sao Paulo, Brazil on March 19-20; Newark, NJ on March 23-24 and Anaheim, Calif. on Apr. 1-2.

Tickets for each venue were released on separate days last week.

The press release from Big Hit Entertainment quoted Chilean promoters as saying that tickets for BTS sold out faster than any other K-pop performance.

Due to requests from fans, BTS have announced two more tour dates, one in Brazil and one in the US.
