BTS is bringing its ARIRANG World Tour to the Philippines, and GCash has partnered with Visa to give ARMY a shot at experiencing it in style. Through a new promo, GCash Visa cardholders can enter a raffle for a fully loaded concert package — no separate ticket purchase required, just everyday card spending.
The Prize: A VIP Trip for Two
Ten lucky winners will take home the GCash x Visa BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ Hospitality Package, each good for two people — the winner plus one companion. The package includes:
- A pair of tickets to the BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ concert, happening March 13, 2027, at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan
- Hotel accommodations for two
- Hotel transfers to and from the event
That’s a complete concert experience covering travel, tickets, and lodging — a significant upgrade from just scoring a seat in the venue.
How to Earn Raffle Entries
Joining is built directly into everyday GCash Visa card use, with two ways to rack up entries:
Pay with any GCash Visa Card Spend a minimum of ₱500 using any GCash Visa card and earn 1 raffle entry per qualifying transaction. Users can accumulate up to 10 raffle entries total.
Get the Exclusive BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ GCash Visa Card. For added entries, ARMY can pre-order the limited edition BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ GCash Visa Card, a striking black-and-red design featuring the BTS logo and Visa’s Worldwide Tour Sponsor branding. Ordering the card earns 2 raffle entries, and every purchase made with it afterward continues to count toward the 10-entry cap. Only one exclusive card is allowed per user.
How to Join
The process is straightforward through the GCash app:
- Pre-order the exclusive BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ GCash Visa Card (optional, but worth extra entries)
- Register and join the raffle using a GCash Visa card
- Spend at least ₱500 per transaction to start earning entries
- Rack up entries — up to 10 per user — for more chances to win
Getting the Exclusive Card: Price, Timing, and Eligibility
Pre-orders for the prepaid card opened on July 9 through the GCash app. The card is priced at ₱750 and can continue to be ordered until June 30, 2027, with GCash noting it will remain valid for five years from its date of issued.
GCash also moved to ease pre-order anxiety among fans. The company said it had prepared enough cards for all eligible fans to order, and that there was no need to rush right at launch time since orders would continue to be accepted and fulfilled through June 2027.
Not everyone can order the card, though. Per GCash’s eligibility rules, purchasers must be:
- A fully verified GCash user
- Someone with fewer than three GCash cards already linked to their account
- A user who hasn’t already purchased their one allowed Arirang card, since only one is permitted per person
The card ties into a bigger BTS moment in the Philippines: the group returned with their “Arirang” album in March, following a nearly four-year hiatus for military service, and launched the Arirang World Tour with three Philippine shows are set for 2027 as part of the tour.
Why It Matters
With BTS World Tour dates confirmed and demand for tickets expected to be intense, this promo offers ARMY in the Philippines an alternative path to the concert — one that rewards everyday spending rather than requiring a mad dash for tickets on sale day. Pairing a major K-pop tour with a fintech platform also reflects how brands are increasingly using fandom-driven raffles and exclusive merchandise to drive engagement, a strategy Visa and GCash have leaned into with this campaign.
Cardholders interested in joining should keep an eye on the official GCash app for registration deadlines, raffle mechanics, and terms and conditions, as full contest rules will govern eligibility and winner selection.
