Even if you want to get your hands on BIGBANG merchandise, the group has been on hiatus for a long time and their Japan concerts are now a thing of the past, making the official goods from that era already difficult to obtain on the market.
The “BIGBANG VIP Seat Swarovski Pendant” introduced here is a not-for-sale bonus item given exclusively to VIP seat attendees of the Japan Osaka concert. It is a premium jewelry accessory featuring Swarovski crystals, and is currently an extremely rare collector’s item for VIPs, obtainable only through online marketplaces such as eBay.
About the “BIGBANG VIP Seat Swarovski Pendant”
This pendant is a bonus item given to attendees of the VIP seats (premium seats from the front row to the 12th row of the stage) at Kyocera Dome Osaka. The VIP seat tickets were a special seating category priced at approximately ¥25,000, offering special experiences such as dedicated entrances and no-queue merchandise purchasing, with the Swarovski pendant being one of these privileges.
Using crystals from Swarovski, this pendant is an authentic item manufactured as official BIGBANG Japan merchandise. It was not sold at the venue’s concession stands and could only be received by VIP seat ticket holders—a “not-for-sale” item—giving it extremely high rarity value today.

What Kind of Group is BIGBANG?
BIGBANG is a South Korean boy band formed by YG Entertainment. Hailed as the “Kings of K-POP,” they played a role in spreading the Korean Wave worldwide and are highly regarded as one of the most influential groups in K-POP history.
Their 2006 debut album did not initially attract much attention, but afterward “Lies” recorded a hit-making feat of six consecutive weeks at #1 on Korean music charts, followed by a string of hits including “Last Farewell,” “Haru Haru,” and “Sunset Glow.”
G-DRAGON’s songwriting and progressive fashion sense, combined with the group’s genre-crossing musicality, played a major role in transforming K-POP from a niche Asian market into a global cultural force. Their discography is a succession of hits, including “Lies,” “Haru Haru,” “Fantastic Baby,” “Bang Bang Bang,” and “FXXK IT.”

T.O.P
Lead rapper and visual member. A childhood friend of G-DRAGON, he originally performed as an underground rapper under the stage name “Tempo.” With his low, cool voice and overwhelming visuals, he was a presence that highlighted BIGBANG’s individuality. He departed from the group in May 2023.

About the Osaka Concert Where the Pendant Was Distributed
This tour kicked off at Nagoya Dome in November 2014 and concluded with the Kyocera Dome Osaka finale in January 2015—BIGBANG’s fifth Japan dome tour.
The total production cost reached approximately ¥3 billion (about $25.5 million), with Jamie King—who has handled tours for Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Britney Spears—serving as tour director. The stage featured a 30-meter center stage with six 50-meter projection stages extending into the audience like wheel spokes, delivering world-class stage production.
With this tour, BIGBANG became the first foreign artist in history to complete the Japan five-major-dome tour two consecutive years. Their 2014 Japan concerts alone drew over 1 million attendees.

The opening act featured YG Entertainment’s new group iKON.

Why This Pendant Holds Collector Value
There are two main reasons why this item has become such a highly rare collector’s item.
① The absolute rarity of being a VIP seat attendee-exclusive, not-for-sale item
This pendant has never been commercially sold and was handed only to those who purchased VIP seat tickets. There are no records of additional production or re-release, and currently there is no way to obtain it other than through overseas marketplaces like eBay.
② A commemorative item from BIGBANG’s peak era and a historic dome tour
BIGBANG’s dome tour was a concert series that erected a monumental achievement: the first foreign artist in history to complete the five-major-dome tour two years in a row. This pendant is an item born in the midst of that fever pitch, at the special location of Kyocera Dome Osaka. For VIPs who have long supported BIGBANG, it is a treasure inscribed with the memories and emotions of that time; for those who became fans later, it is a gateway item that connects them to the group’s golden era.
