ATA Festival at Nanji Hangang Park: What Visiting Fans Need to Know About Tickets and Transport

The "2026 Asia Top Artist Festival (ATA Festival)" runs September 19 (Saturday) and 20 (Sunday) at Nanji Hangang Park in Seoul's Mapo District, from noon to 9 p.m. each day. Saturday's lineup includes CNBLUE, &TEAM, WOODZ, Kim Su-young and Dynamic Duo, while Sunday features ATEEZ, DAYBREAK, Jannabi and YENA, among others. Overseas fans planning a trip should first check ticket availability. When

early-bird sales opened on June 17, the Saturday one-day pass sold out in one minute, the two-day pass in three minutes, and the Sunday one-day pass in fifteen minutes. General sales began July 2 through NOL Ticket for domestic buyers and the English-language NOL World (world.nol.com) for international buyers, priced at 121,000 won for a one-day pass and 187,000 won for a two-day pass (tentative,

subject to change). Purchases are capped at four tickets per person per day, and the organizer states that tickets cannot be canceled, refunded or exchanged once bought. With the festival only three days away, official tickets have likely sold through; fans are better off watching NOL World for any additional releases or canceled-ticket resales rather than buying from individual resellers, which c

arries a real risk of counterfeit tickets. Transport also needs planning. According to the organizer, a free shuttle bus runs continuously from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. between stops near Digital Media City (DMC) Station — served by Seoul Subway Line 6 and the Airport Railroad — and the festival entrance. No separate parking lot is provided, so public transit plus the shuttle is the recommended route.

Knowing the official ticket channels and the free shuttle schedule in advance can save fans from a failed booking or a wasted trip to the venue, and cut unnecessary transport costs. Korea Tourism Times Editorial Desk
