BTS Kaohsiung Concert: MRT Commute Guide 2026

BTS is finally back — and they're bringing the World Tour ARIRANG to Kaohsiung National Stadium on November 19, 21, and 22, 2026. If you're a Filipino ARMY flying into Taiwan for this, getting to the venue is easier than you think. Here's the complete commute guide. Ganito lang 'yan! 😉

The Venue 📍

Kaohsiung National Stadium (formerly the World Games Stadium)
No. 100, Shiyun Boulevard, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan 🇹🇼

The nearest MRT station is World Games Station (R17) on the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line — Exit 1, approximately 800 meters (5-10 minutes walk) to the stadium entrance.

⚠️ Most important tip: Take the MRT. On concert days, roads near the stadium will be heavily congested. Uber and taxis are unreliable after the show when thousands of fans leave at the same time. The Red Line is your most dependable option in and out.

Before You Go: Load Your EasyCard 🎫

Your Taiwan EasyCard works seamlessly on the Kaohsiung MRT — the same card used in Taipei. No separate card needed.

Load enough balance before concert day. Ticket machine queues at MRT stations get very long before and after concerts. Having a pre-loaded EasyCard means you tap and go (no need to line up for train tickets!).

Route 2: From Kaohsiung Main Station 🚇

Staying near Kaohsiung Main Station, or arriving from Taipei via TRA

For fans staying in hotels near Kaohsiung Main Station — where recommended hotels Kindness Hotel and CU Hotel are located — the MRT route is equally simple.

Step	Action	Details
1	Go to Kaohsiung Main Station MRT platform	Red Line platform — tap EasyCard at gate
2	Board Red Line toward Gangshan Main Station	Northbound platform, trains every 10 minutes
3	Alight at World Games Station (R17)	Approximately 5 stops — journey takes ~12 minutes

💡 Pro Tip: If you're coming from Formosa Boulevard Station (Orange Line), transfer to the Red Line there — it's the main interchange station connecting both lines. Board the Red Line northbound toward Gangshan Main Station and continue to R17.

After the Concert: Getting Back 🏃

Post-concert departure is where most people make mistakes. Here's what to keep in mind:

🚇 Head to World Games Station (R17) immediately after the show ends — the earlier you're in the queue, the less you wait
⏰ Trains will be running — the Kaohsiung MRT extends service hours for major events, but confirm this on the official KRTC website closer to the date
🚗 Avoid Uber and taxis after the show — surge pricing + scarcity + road congestion makes them highly unreliable immediately after a large-scale concert
🧭 Save your hotel address offline before you go — phone signal near the venue can be weak with thousands of people in the same area simultaneously
