Fans' excitement can be clearly seen by how fast tickets for November 20 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" have been sold out. It seems like fans predict that BTS will appear on that day, considering the AMAs will be held on the day before. They appear to be more than ready to gamble.
This made me cry legit tears of happiness and sadness. Happiness, due to ARMYs out here snatching tickets to support our boys. Sadness, cuz it sold out before I got the chance to request one 😢😢😢 pic.twitter.com/ZnKZEsyKlO
