The 2026 Seven Bridges Tour is still set for September 20, but the public regular-ticket round has moved into sold-out/watchlist territory
If you missed the public NOL/Interpark sale, watch the official channels for cancellations or extra notices. Foreign visitors should check the separate official ticket links.
The 2026 Seven Bridges Tour is still set for September 20, but the public regular-ticket round has moved into sold-out/watchlist territory. Foreign-visitor tickets are handled separately.
Busan says the 2026 Seven Bridges Tour will run as a single 77 km course. The city release says the ride starts at Gwangandaegyo Bridge, returns via Airport Road, and includes the spiral ramp section of Busan Harbor Bridge.
That sounds like a proper legs-and-wind day.
The event is planned for about 4,000 participants.
The official release originally gave these sales windows:
Early bird: 300 tickets, KRW 80,000, from 2:00 p.m. on June 5. Regular individual: 2,700 tickets, KRW 100,000, from 2:00 p.m. on June 11 to 11:59 p.m. on June 17. Group: 500 tickets for groups of 10-20, handled separately during the regular window. Foreign tourist packages: 500 tickets through travel/OTA channels.
The public regular-ticket round has since moved into sold-out/watchlist status through the organizer's public channels. The exact sell-out timing still needs a stable source before it goes in as fact.
A June 14 booking screenshot also shows the regular ticket option marked 매진 in the NOL Ticket flow.
NOL/Interpark is still the ticketing choke point. If any cancellations or extra inventory appear later, have the account, identity checks, and payment method ready before the opening time. That platform is not where you want to solve login problems at 2:00 p.m.
Foreign-visitor tickets are separate. The official English ticket page points visitors to separate NOL World and OTA links, and those may not match the domestic public-ticket status.
As of July 21, the organizer's page lists Klook, Trazy, Konest, and KKday booking links with August 10 deadlines. A separate Japan-focused Club Tourism package, which includes travel and event support rather than only a ticket, is taking applications through July 31. These are closing dates, not promises that inventory remains. Check the linked booking page before making plans.
Expect rules, queues, controlled starts, and whatever traffic plan the organizer publishes later.
For now, keep it simple:
Know the sales window. Check the official site before paying. Use the official route and participant rules when they are published. Train for wind, ramps, and stop-start city riding. If you missed the public sale, watch for cancellation or organizer update notices.

The ticket situation changed: this is no longer just a calendar reminder.
If you missed the public NOL/Interpark rush, the realistic next step is watching the organizer's official channels for cancellations, extra inventory, or updated foreign-ticket guidance.
