Girl group ILLIT's first solo tour, "PRESS START♥," isn't quite over yet. After selling out all 15 shows across 7 cities worldwide, the tour's final stop — an encore run — lands at Inspire Arena on Yeongjong Island, Incheon. Because the venue sits on the same island as Incheon International Airport, a fair number of overseas fans fly in the day before and build an overnight stay around the show.

At a glance: "ILLIT LIVE PRESS START♥ ENCORE in KOREA," Saturday October 17 at 6:00 PM and Sunday October 18 at 5:00 PM · venue: Inspire Arena, 127 Gonghangmunhwa-ro, Jung-gu, Incheon · ticket prices: general seating 165,000 won, Sound Check seats 220,000 won, Meet & Greet package 253,000 won · tickets sold exclusively through NOL · paid shuttle buses from the Seoul metro area and other regions can be booked separately.

Inspire Arena is a 15,000-seat venue on Yeongjong Island, the same island as Incheon Airport's Terminal 2, and connects directly to the resort's hotel. For visitors flying in from abroad, that makes it possible to land, catch the show, sleep at the resort hotel, and fly out the next day. Organizers also offer a "Play & Stay" package bundling a hotel stay with a show ticket; tickets for that package are handed out starting at 9:00 AM at a dedicated desk inside the hotel.

Tickets are sold only through the NOL page. Sales opened last month, but recent reports say floor and second-level seats still had availability. Since prices vary widely by seating tier, check the seat locations and remaining availability for each tier on the NOL show page before booking. No physical tickets are issued — entry is confirmed by mobile ticket only.

Paid shuttle buses to the venue from the Seoul metro area and other regions also run on a reservation basis. The most commonly cited route from downtown Seoul is taking the AREX airport railway to Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 Station, then transferring to a resort shuttle. For the exact shuttle routes, fares, and schedule, check the shuttle-booking page linked from the official ticket seller.
