Charlie Puth Concert: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Goyang)

Two nights in Ilsan

Charlie Puth plays Goyang Stadium on October 17 and 18, 2026. Both nights belong to his world tour. Confirm the dates, the venue and your ticket details on the official site, because promoters can move start times and seating plans for a stadium show.

Goyang Stadium (고양종합운동장, Goyang Jonghap Undongjang) is an open-air multi-sport bowl. A running track circles the pitch, so standing areas sit on the field and the reserved seats rise in tiers around it. It is a regular venue for large K-pop concerts. You can expect a stadium-scale production and stadium-scale crowds leaving afterwards.

Reaching Goyang Stadium

Take the subway. Daehwa Station is the western terminus of Line 3, and the stadium is a short walk from it in Daehwa-dong, Ilsanseo-gu.

• From central Seoul: Line 3 runs direct from Jongno 3-ga, Chungmuro and Express Bus Terminal. Plan on about an hour.
• Nearby landmark: KINTEX, the large exhibition centre, is next door, so street signs pointing to it will get you close.
• Driving: stadium parking fills on concert nights. Traffic on the roads out of Ilsan backs up after the encore.

The trip back is the part to plan. Thousands of people head for Daehwa at the same moment. Because it is the end of the line, every train starts empty there, but the platform queue can still be long. Check the time of the last Line 3 train into Seoul before you go, or book somewhere to stay in Ilsan.

Getting through the gates

Korean concerts tend to run on tighter rules than shows in many other countries. Know these before you arrive:

• ID checks: booking sites in Korea often name the ticket holder. Staff may compare your passport with the name on the booking, so carry the passport you booked with.
• Ticket pickup: foreign buyers are often sent to an on-site collection booth rather than given mobile tickets. Get there early, because those queues build up before the doors open.
• Numbered entry: standing sections usually let people in by ticket number. Arriving hours early does not move you ahead of a lower number.
• Phones and cameras: professional cameras and recording rules are set by each show and enforced by staff. Read the rules on your booking page.
• Merch: the official merch booths open before the gates, and the line for them is separate from the entry line.

Mid-October evenings in Goyang get cool once the sun goes down, and the stadium is open to the sky. Bring a layer. A light rain jacket is a better choice than an umbrella, because umbrellas block the view of the people behind you.

Before and after the show

Ilsan works well as a base for the day. Ilsan Lake Park, a large lake with a cycling and walking loop, is a few stops back along Line 3 near Jeongbalsan and Madu stations. Close by are La Festa and Western Dom, two pedestrian shopping streets packed with Korean barbecue, chicken-and-beer places and cafés. Both are useful for eating before the show or waiting out the crowd afterwards.

If you have a ticket for both nights, staying in Ilsan instead of Seoul saves you two long late-night subway rides. Confirm timing and tickets on the official site before you book anything that depends on the start time.
