The online advance ticket price is 74,900 won, and the door price is 79,900 won. Unlimited drinks for 3 hours are advertised, but it is safest to confirm the drink selection and terms of use with the event organizers before booking.

If you want to meet new people and find a reasonably priced party, consider YNA; if you want a party with drinks included, consider Reverse Seoul. Be sure to check each event's details and entry conditions before finalizing your plans.

In Itaewon, Comicalloween 2026runs from 9 PM on October 31 until 5 AM on November 1.

With one ticket, you can visit both Lit Lounge and Billion Bar. This year's theme is characters from movies and TV shows.

​

The advance ticket price is 20,500 won, including the 20,000 won ticket and a 500 won booking fee. The costume contest is scheduled to start at 11:30 PM.

Itaewon has a concentration of narrow streets and nightlife venues. Rather than spending a long time on the street, check the location of your booked venue and your route in advance, and follow on-site directions when it is crowded.

Seongsu-dong is a good fit for people who want to enjoy themed cafés, pop-up stores, and small-scale performances rather than large club parties.

Explore Yeonmujang-gil and the area around Seoul Forest to find Halloween decorations or seasonal programs prepared by individual businesses.

Among them, Entry55 Seongsu's Halloween-season live jazz programis also worth checking out. Contact the venue directly before visiting to confirm the performance schedule and availability of reservations.

​

There is no single official Halloween festival covering all of Seongsu. It's best to check first whether the café or pop-up you plan to visit is actually operating.

If taking photos or going on a café date is your main goal, consider making a relaxed itinerary from daytime through evening.

In Namsan, Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul is hosting Festa by Choonghu NOCTURNE Halloween Party.

The cocktail-focused party runs from 8:30 PM on October 31 until 2 AM on November 1.

There are two types of admission tickets: a 39,000 won ticketthat includes 1 cocktail, and a 64,000 won ticketthat includes 3 cocktails.

Unlike club parties in Hongdae or Itaewon, this event offers cocktails and music in a hotel setting.

If you want to enjoy DJ music and cocktails in a hotel atmosphere, it may be worth considering with a partner or friends.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government will run a special Halloween safety period from October 23 to November 1.

​

Full vehicle restrictions are scheduled on Itaewon-ro on October 31, and one lane is scheduled to be restricted on Hongdae Club Street. However, the restricted areas and times may change depending on crowd levels, so check traffic updates on the day.

​

If crowds become concentrated, some subway station entrances may be closed, or trains may pass through stations without stopping.

It's best to avoid driving if possible. Vehicle access may be restricted in Hongdae and Itaewon, and roads around Seongsu may also be congested.

When choosing a party, compare more than just the admission fee: also check your return time, drink inclusions, and whether your reservation is confirmed.

​

Schedules and prices are as of October 30 and may change afterward. Booking deadlines may also vary by event, so check the latest information.

To stay safe, avoid lingering in narrow streets crowded with people, and follow the directions of on-site safety staff.
