Upcoming Events in Seoul this week

Seoul combines palaces, neon shopping streets, and hillside views with K‑League football, KBO baseball, esports, and K‑pop concerts across some of Asia’s most modern venues. With big games, fandom events, and top attractions in demand year‑round, arranging Seoul tickets in advance helps you make the most of your time in the city.

Why buy tickets in Seoul via SeatPick?

SeatPick pulls a wide range of Seoul tickets into one place, from matches at Seoul World Cup Stadium and Gocheok Sky Dome to arena‑level K‑pop shows and theatre nights. You can compare dates, prices, and seating categories on a single screen instead of juggling multiple Korean and international booking sites.

• Filter by event type, stand, and price band, whether you want a home section at a K League match, infield seats for KBO baseball, or floor standing for a K‑pop concert.
• Listings clearly show what your ticket includes (seat location, standing zones, fan‑meeting formats, or festival layouts), so you know exactly what you are buying before you confirm.
• Only vetted partners are used and every purchase is backed by at least a 100% guarantee, which is especially useful if you are flying in for one specific show, series, or matchday.

Seeing games, concerts, and attractions side by side makes it easier to line up a realistic schedule around jet lag, weather, and the time you want for neighbourhood wandering.

Top Seoul sports teams

Seoul’s sports scene spans football, baseball, and esports, with several major clubs and stadiums spread across the city.

FC Seoul at Seoul World Cup Stadium

Seoul World Cup Stadium in Sangam‑dong is one of Korea’s most recognisable football venues and the home ground of FC Seoul. Built for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, it has hosted international tournaments, AFC Champions League finals, and regular K League 1 fixtures, often drawing large, vocal crowds on weekends.

Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome

Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro‑gu is South Korea’s first domed baseball stadium and the home of the Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO League. With around 16,700 seats for baseball and higher capacities for concerts and events, it offers an all‑weather way to experience Korean baseball culture, from cheering sections to ballpark snacks.

Jamsil Baseball Stadium and other venues

Jamsil Baseball Stadium, part of the Seoul Sports Complex, has long been one of the country’s classic ballparks and is shared by the LG Twins and Doosan Bears. Alongside these, Seoul also hosts major events at venues used for esports finals and martial‑arts cards, giving sports fans plenty of options throughout the year.

Top Seoul music venues

Seoul is a global centre for K‑pop and live entertainment, with venues sized for everything from showcase stages to stadium‑level concerts.

KSPO DOME and Olympic Park venues

KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Olympic Park is one of the prime locations for large‑scale K‑pop concerts, fan meetings, and award shows. Surrounding venues in the complex, such as the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium and outdoor stadiums, support festivals and multi‑artist events, with park spaces that double as hangout spots before and after shows.

Gocheok Sky Dome

Beyond baseball, Gocheok Sky Dome doubles as a major concert and festival venue, with capacity for tens of thousands of fans in various configurations. It has hosted large‑scale music events and global tournaments, including the final of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship and international tour stops that require dome‑level production.

Yes24 Live Hall and mid‑sized halls

Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin‑gu is one of Seoul’s key mid‑large concert halls and a core showcase venue for Korean popular music. Along with spaces like Blue Square and Ilchi Art Hall, it provides more intimate settings for showcases, fan meetings, and genre‑diverse line‑ups, often bringing fans much closer to the stage than at domes or stadiums.

Top Seoul attractions

Seoul’s attractions balance royal palaces and traditional villages with towers, markets, and modern shopping districts. Many of the most popular places recommend timed entries or early starts, especially in peak travel seasons.

Highlights include:

• Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of Seoul’s five grand palaces, known for its architecture and the changing‑of‑the‑guard ceremony.
• N Seoul Tower on Namsan, offering city views that are especially striking after dark, often paired with a cable‑car or hillside walk.
• Bukchon Hanok Village, located between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, where traditional hanok houses line narrow streets and showcase over 600 years of history.
• Myeongdong, a busy shopping and street‑food district, and Hongdae and Gangnam, which blend fashion, cafés, and nightlife with live‑music and youth culture.
• The National Museum of Korea and other museums and galleries, which offer deeper dives into Korean history, art, and contemporary culture.

Planning your Seoul visit

When you plan a Seoul trip, it helps to anchor your days around a small number of fixed‑time events, such as a K‑pop concert, a baseball game, or a palace tour, and then fit markets, neighbourhood walks, and viewpoints around those. Combining a live event with one or two major sights per day usually works better than trying to tick off everything at once.

From an FC Seoul match at Seoul World Cup Stadium or a Kiwoom Heroes game at Gocheok Sky Dome to a K‑pop night at KSPO DOME or Yes24 Live Hall and a day between Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and N Seoul Tower, you can shape a Seoul itinerary that balances sport, music, and city exploration.
