Bottom line: To buy a Saturday, October 17 one-day pass for the 2026 Grand Mint Festival, you must book today, October 16, before 5 p.m. KST. Sunday, October 18 passes close tomorrow at 11 a.m. There is no day-of box office for either date, and the only official ticket seller is NOL (Yanolja Ticket).

If you didn't know: once 5 p.m. passes, the window to buy a Saturday ticket closes completely, with no on-site purchase to fall back on. Official rules cap sales at two tickets per person per day, so scrambling for extra tickets at the gate isn't an option either. A one-day pass costs 132,000 won, and seeing both days runs 264,000 won — miss the deadline and you lose the chance to spend that money at all, not just the show.

Grand Mint Festival is Seoul's signature autumn indie-music festival, built around mint-green lawns and sunset sets rather than camping gear — it's a multi-stage show inside a city park, so a small bag is all you need. The first lineup wave included Younha, Jang Kiha, Touched, and Thornapple; a second wave announced in August added "Siplan," a pairing of 10cm and Solan, along with Lacuna and Bolbbalgan4. A separate priority-entry ticket is sold only at an on-site booth, and anyone planning to buy one should book just a single regular ticket per day, since buying two keeps a companion out of the priority line. Ticket transfers, pickup by someone else, and resale are all banned, and violators are removed from the grounds.
