Bad Bunny fans have been scrambling to get their hands on tickets after his iconic Super Bowl performance gave a taste of what's to come in his upcoming tour.
Since the halftime show, which drew more than 135 million viewers and featured appearances from Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and other familiar faces, concert tickets for the 'DtMF' singer have spiked by a staggering 123 per cent, Viagogo tells Indy100.
The singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has continued to break records since winning Album of the Year at the Grammys for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Just 24 hours after scooping the trophy, ticket sites witnessed a surge in demand of 170 per cent.
The recent surge in demand for Bad Bunny tickets is equivalent to selling out London’s O2 Arena more than four times over.
The Debí Tirar Más Fotos Tour is scheduled for South America, Australia, Asia and Europe – but not America. The star confirmed to i-D that one of the reasons was out of concern for ICE activity taking place in the US.
"There was the issue of—like, f***ing ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about," he told the outlet. He also cited other reasons, acknowledging that "none of them were out of hate".
