No Rooms Left in El Paso as BTS Takes Over

El Paso brace yourselves because we are about to be taken over by BTS and the BTS Army! The Sun City is about to be buzzing with the sounds BTS fans (who call themselves the BTS Army) as the group will perform two sold out shows at the Sun Bowl on May 2 and 3.

Fans are flying in from all over and hotel rooms are disappearing just as fast.

Fans Say Hotels Are Gone and Prices Are Wild

If you’ve tried booking a room for that weekend, you already know, it’s tough.

Fans have been posting on Reddit and social media, saying hotels are either completely sold out or priced way higher than expected.

Some are still hoping to find last-minute options… but it’s not looking easy.

At this point, many out-of-towners say they’re looking beyond El Paso, booking in Las Cruces or even across the border just to make the trip happen.

A Packed Weekend Across the Sun City

It’s not just BTS driving the demand.

That same weekend also includes El Paso Comic-Con and Michelada Fest, creating a perfect storm of events across the city.

According to booking sites, hotel availability is nearly gone, with El Paso sitting at or near full capacity. Local officials say this kind of demand reflects something bigger: El Paso is continuing to grow as a destination for major events, and weekends like this prove it.

If this feels familiar, it should.

Last year, Coldplay brought two massive shows to the Sun Bowl, and just like now, fans traveled in from all over. And the response? Nothing but love.

Visitors shared glowing reviews about El Paso’s hospitality, the food scene, and how welcoming the city felt from the moment they arrived. Not to mention, it was great for our city’s economy.

So while BTS weekend might feel a little chaotic right now, El Paso has already proven it can handle moments like this, and do it well.

Yes, hotel rooms are hard to find, but if Coldplay weekend taught us anything, it’s this, El Paso delivers.
