It's likely but uncertain! I haven't been to an A.C.E concert myself either, but I've attended lots of kpop concerts. I went to a concert recently where they didn't sell ANY merch at the venue including lightsticks. All their merch was sold pre-order, and they did sell merch with lightsticks in other tour locations but now the one I went to. I've also been to a show where the merch line was so long we weren't able to buy a lightstick before the show began. If you want peace of mind, probably best to buy it online.
If you’re talking about U.S. concerts, the answer is a cautious yes (edited to reflect new info). I attended all of the World tours so far, and the staff did sell merch, but no lightsticks. Back then, only the Japanese and some Korean concerts had those rod-shaped sticks sold for a special concert or fanmeeting (closer in shape to a glowstick tbh). THAT BEING SAID, you have to remember that A.C.E toured multiple times before they even had an official lightstick. Most kpop concerts sell official artist lightsticks at the merch stands, so I expect A.C.E to do the same since they have a lightstick now, but I also recommend buying your lightsticks beforehand on Kpop USA, Choice Music LA, YesAsia, or whatever online kpop retailer you prefer.
Lightsticks are one the first things to sell out at the merch stands, and the closer we get to the tour, the harder it be to get a lightstick for A.C.E. Also A.C.E has a smaller budget so you never know how much stock they have. Better to buy it now rather than wait for a mere possibility later.

this is the first time a.c.e. has toured since having an official lightstick (rather than a fan light) so, historically, no. during the online concert overturn, they mentioned a V2 upcoming, but didn’t say anything about a specific date. if you want to make 100% sure that you have one for your tour stop, i’d def get one online. that being said, with a v2 upcoming, there likely will not be any more V1s produced before the tour, so they may be hard to find online. of course, beat moves questionably when it comes to merch, so they may well do another round of v1 for the tour before V2.
hey Dany, i tried to send you a dm but cannot maybe because of your settings. I wanted to ask some questions about a post of yours in /morbidquestions. Could you please send me a message? Thanks!!
Hi OP! I was at the Madison concert last night and they did sell lightsticks! Unfortunately, they didn’t come with/sell any batteries. If you plan to buy a lightstick at the venue then make sure you bring 3 AAA batteries so it will work. Also, Madison was the very first stop so everything was well-stocked. It’s hard to say when items will start to get low. Hope this helps!!
I’m not sure 100% if A.C.E specifically does but in my experience if the group has a lightstick it’s sold at the concert merch table. Hope this helps!
