Candlelighter family wins free tickets to BTS concert

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to include a statement from StubHub which generously donated two floor tickets to BTS and set up Arlene Sifuentes and her dad with VIP access to the concert at the Sun Bowl.

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Saturday, one El Paso Candlelighter family's wish of seeing the South Korean boy band, BTS, in concert came true after winning a raffle during an event held by Candlelighters.

StubHub worked with KVIA to donate two tickets to be raffled for Candlelighter families during their Day of the Children Party event.

Organizers say the event was a way for the families to come together, create memories and celebrate hope.

Towards the end of the event, Candlelighter Arelene Sifuentes was drawn as the winner of the two BTS tickets.

"Being in that stadium for a BTS show, especially for a young ARMY fan, is something they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives," Jill Gonzalez, a StubHub spokesperson said. "StubHub is just really proud to be a small part of this family's story."
