The encore to ILLIT's first world tour has reached its booking phase. According to the official notice on NOL Ticket, ILLIT LIVE PRESS START♥ ENCORE in KOREA plays at 6pm on Saturday 17 October and 5pm on Sunday 18 October at the Arena of the Inspire Entertainment Resort in Jung-gu, Incheon — two performances over two days. The encore itself was announced on 27 July, when the group's label BELIFT LAB pointed to a Weverse notice through its official social accounts.

The venue is the striking part. The March Seoul dates registered with KOPIS, ILLIT LIVE: PRESS START, were played on 14 and 15 March at the Ticketlink Live Arena in Olympic Park — the former handball gymnasium. The KOPIS venue record puts that hall at 5,003 registered seats. The encore moves not to another indoor gymnasium in the Seoul area but to a large arena on Yeongjongdo in Incheon, and the Inspire resort's Arena is registered at 14,483 seats, close to three times the size.

Prices, by contrast, are unchanged from March. There are three grades: general at 165,000 won, SOUND CHECK at 220,000 won and M&G at 253,000 won. The price guidance registered with KOPIS for the March Seoul dates reads 165,000 won for general, 220,000 for SOUND CHECK and 253,000 for M&G — the same figures, which means our own data confirms the price list held still while the room grew nearly threefold. The age guidance, 9 and over, is unchanged from March too.

Booking runs in three stages. The GLLIT membership domestic presale runs from 8pm to midnight on Monday 14 September, the global-page presale in the same window on Tuesday 15 September, and general sale — open on both the domestic and global pages — at 8pm on Thursday 17 September. Taking part in a presale requires verification in advance: that window opened at 2pm on Thursday 10 September and closes at midnight on the 14th for domestic and the 15th for global. Wheelchair spaces are handled separately, by phone only through the NOL call centre on 1544-1555 from 10am on Friday 18 September.

The measures against touting and fraudulent booking are dense. The concerts are mobile-ticket only, with no physical ticket, and entry requires clearing an identity check at the venue by facial pass and IN-PASS and collecting a wristband. The organisers have said bookings confirmed as made by macro or other abnormal means will be cancelled. Neither the waiting-list service nor same-seat rebooking is available; a secure-booking service applies instead. Buyers must complete identity verification before booking and may only buy under an account in their own name.

NOL Ticket is the only seller, and existing NOL Ticket members must complete the switch to an integrated account before they can book. For the March Seoul dates, KOPIS registers HYBE and BELIFT LAB as presenters and organisers, with HYBE as planner. This encore is not yet registered in the KOPIS performance database as of 11 September.
