The South Korean boy band BTS will play to a sold-out audience at FirstOntario Centre on Thursday night.

According to StubHub, the seven-member K-pop group is the top-selling fall concert act in Ontario this year.

They’re so popular, not only did all three of their concerts in the city sell out in minutes, dozens of supporters began lining up outside the downtown arena on Wednesday afternoon.

Hamilton police and on-site security were called to monitor the crowd.

Police say the line-up will be allowed as long as nobody interferes with pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
