Doha: Qatar fans of K-Pop boyband BTS are in for a treat as the much-awaited 'BTS: Yet to Come' concert film is set to release tomorrow in the country and around the globe. 

Selected cinema houses in and around Doha will screen the limited edition film as ARMYs, fans of the world-renowned group, are expected to fill the seats and join in the fun on creating a 'purple wave'. 

'BTS: Yet to Come' will be shown in Qatar for four days, starting from February 1 until February 4, 2023. 

The film's official site also showed that tickets have been released for pre-booking at selected theatres in Qatar, as over 120 countries worldwide will also participate to screen the movie. 

Prior to its release, hundreds of fans in the country are already vying for a seat to witness the in-demand film. 

"Since the day we came to know Qatar is on the list of countries where Yet to Come will be out, ARMY have been ecstatic and waiting for the tickets to be released!," said Neema Yuseph, the admin of the local fanbase QatarBTSARMY.

Unseen performances and songs from the band's older albums, such as 'Ma City' are also one of the reasons why fans are lining up for the film. 

"One of the highlights of the concert is the coveted RUN BTS performance which was only performed at this specific concert. The crowd is going to go wild at this," Yuseph told The Peninsula

The fanbase, which has thousands of followers on Instagram, also mentioned that they have been receiving inquiries about the film's ticket availability prior to the screening.

She said: "Based on the number of messages we have been responding so far on the group, hundreds of fans are lined up to see the beloved concert."

Tickets for 'BTS: Yet to Come' cost QR150 for a 2D version while 7 Star 2D admission is priced at QR 250,  based on the advanced booking prices on Novo Cinemas.  

The concert film was "re-edited and remixed for the big screen" to showcase a special cinematic cut on BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook during the concert in Busan last year. 

An exciting setlist also awaits the fans as hit songs from across the group's career will be featured, including 'Dynamite,' 'Butter' and 'IDOL,' and the first concert performance of 'Run BTS' from the group’s latest album Proof.
