Twice fans, known as Once, are overjoyed as Twice has started their 6th world tour. The group announced the first part of the This Is For world tour, which will bring the girl group to major cities across Asia and Australia. Fans in other parts of the globe don't need to worry, however, as more dates and locations will be added to the tour for 2026 when they announce part two. I've gathered everything we know about how to get Twice tickets below, and be sure to keep tabs on this story for updated details as they go live. The This Is For world tour is in support of their newest album of the same name. This Is For album is Twice's fourth studio album and was released on May 19, 2025.

Twice is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. It debuted in October 2015 after the group was formed on the reality survival show Sixteen. The girl group has nine members: Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. If you're looking for how to get tickets to Twice's 2025 tour, then we've got you covered.

The last known concert date for the tour is December 14 in Bangkok; however, part two of the tour has not been announced yet, so we don't currently know when or where the tour will come to a close.

How to buy tickets for Twice's 2025 concert tour You can buy standard original tickets for Twice's This IS For world tour on Live Nation. For each concert date, ticket presale goes live the day before that can be registered for a day in advance. Original tickets have sold out for each concert date so far, which is a trend we expect to continue, so it is recommended to sign up for presale if you're looking to nab original tickets. Tickets to Twice's 2025 concert tour can also be purchased through verified resale ticket vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats. Given how quickly original tickets have been selling, you may find better luck with seating variety and availability on these sites after the seats go live. Original ticket sales have not gone live for all ticket dates, so not all dates are available on StubHub yet. It's also important to note that resale tickets for Twice's 2025 shows in Asia and Australia aren't available to purchase on Vivid Seats. How much are Twice tickets? Ticket prices for the original This Is For world tour aren't available to check before ticket sales start at each location; however, on average, tickets to see Twice perform live have historically ranged anywhere between $200 and $300 or $500 to $600, depending on date and location. Of the tickets available on StubHub as of writing, the lowest-cost tickets to Twice's Japan shows range from $294 for the August 23 show in Aichi to $459 for the Fukuoka show on August 30. Who is opening for Twice's tour? Twice does not have any opening acts for its This Is For world tour, which is standard for K-pop concerts. When the show time begins, the girls of Twice will appear onstage. Will there be international tour dates? All of the concert dates announced so far for the This Is For world tour are international concerts. For part one of the tour, there are 15 more shows in major cities across Asia and four shows scheduled for major cities in Australia. We don't know yet what additional countries will be added to the tour for part two, but we will provide more information once it becomes available. Who are the Twice members? Twice consists of nine members who have been with the group since it formed in 2015 through the TV survival program Sixteen. The members include: Jihyo is the leader of the girl group and one of the primary vocalists. Nayeon is the center of the group, so she is in the middle position for most choreography.

Bobby Sherman, '60s teen idol, dead at 81
Bobby Sherman, whose winsome smile and fashionable shaggy mop top helped make him into a teen idol in the 1960s and '70s with bubblegum pop hits like Little Woman and Julie, Do Ya Love Me, has died. He was 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced the death Tuesday and family friend John Stamos posted her message on Instagram: 'Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace.' Sherman revealed he had Stage 4 cancer earlier this year. Story continues below advertisement Sherman was a squeaky-clean regular on the covers of Tiger Beat and Sixteen magazines, often with hair over his eyes and a choker on his neck. His face was printed on lunchboxes, cereal boxes and posters that hung on the bedroom walls of his adoring fans. He landed at No. 8 in TV Guide's list of 'TV's 25 Greatest Teen Idols.' He was part of a lineage of teen heartthrobs who emerged as mass-market, youth-oriented magazines and TV took off, connecting fresh-scrubbed Ricky Nelson in the 1950s to David Cassidy in the '70s, all the way to Justin Bieber in the 2000s. Sherman had four Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — Little Woman, Julie, Do Ya Love Me, Easy Come, Easy Go, and La La La (If I Had You). He had six albums on the Billboard 200 chart, including Here Comes Bobby, which spent 48 weeks on the album chart, peaking at No. 10. His career got its jump start when he was cast in the ABC rock 'n' roll show Shindig! in the mid-'60s. Later, he starred in two television series — Here Come the Brides (1968-70) and Getting Together (1971). Admirers from Hollywood took to social media to honour Sherman, with actor Patricia Heaton posting on X: 'Hey all my 70s peeps, let's take a minute to remember our heartthrob Bobby Sherman' and Lorenzo Lamas recalling listening to Sherman's Easy Come, Easy Go on the school bus as a kid.

Following the series, Sherman starred in Getting Together, a spinoff of The Partridge Family, about a songwriter struggling to make it in the music business. He became the first performer to star in three TV series before the age of 30.

His movies included Wild In Streets, He is My Brother and Get Crazy. From music to medicine Sherman pulled back from his celebrity career after several years of a frantic schedule, telling The Washington Post: 'I'd film five days a week, get on a plane on a Friday night and go someplace for matinee and evening shows Saturday and Sunday, then get on a plane and go back to the studio to start filming again.
