I really hope Busan stops the price gouging. https://t.co/TYMxpYXthnWhile it is understandable for hotels to increase prices to a certain extent following the increased demand, BTS fans have called out hotels in Busan for being unfair and raising prices to outrageous numbers.The price increase has been 500 times the original, causing a big hole in fans’ pockets.Bigger hotel chains like Hilton and The Ritz wouldn’t be able to raise the prices so high as they have procedures to follow, and smaller boutique hotels are primarily family-owned and can thus raise prices to absurd numbers.Korean media outlets reported that hotels have been canceling existing reservations and are charging outrageous prices like $6600 for two nights.Bangtan fans have taken to social media to express their shock at the crazy hotel prices.Blue Seesaw ⁷ 😈 Bad Decisions@yoongi_bigrings@modooborahae I will be going to Korea but now seeing what the business in the Busan are doing, it’s not a good look for the bid.

Yes, the prices went up, but not by 3k. They also didn't cancel existing reservations just to raise the price. Even 1 week before the concert you could still find hotels for less than 1k/night.4@SugakookieOT7 @modooborahae I had hotel for PTD LA and Vegas &amp; didn't see this level of price gouging.
