Living the Suite Life With AgustD

Afternoona Army: Thinky and Thirsty BTS Takes

Join Afternoona Army host Lia and Friend-Of-The-Pod, Becky, for an in-depth conversation with Director of Premium Sales and Service for ASM Global at Oakland Arena, Bryan Watson.

On February 14th, Min Yoongi aka Suga aka AgustD dropped a bomb on the fandom: he's going on world tour. This sent Lia and legions of other Suga biases into a spiral knowing that securing tickets would be tough and the best strategy was leaning into our collective power. It didn't take long for us to discover that suites were available for group purchasing at Oakland Arena--an option once dominated by corporations--but more accessible post-Covid.

And as we explored the suite logistics...Bryan achieved a minor celebrity status among those ARMY trying to see Suga X AgustD in the Bay Area. The TL;DR is our efforts worked and we can't wait to collectively celebrate D-Day (AgustD, D-2, and all those solos) on May 16th. But the behind-the-scenes world of concert operations intrigued us. We wanted to learn more how things worked and Bryan generously obliged!
