Fans of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny are gearing up for a major event as they face challenges in securing tickets for his highly anticipated first performance in Brazil. The pre-sale for tickets began on May 7, 2025, exclusively for Santander Select and Private clients, followed by a broader pre-sale for other Santander customers on May 8, 2025. However, just minutes after the ticket release at 10 AM, various sections sold out quickly, particularly the half-price tickets.
Despite some skepticism about Bad Bunny's popularity in Brazil, the demand has proven overwhelming. Many fans took to social media to express their frustrations over the ticket-buying process, with some noting that tickets for the general admission area were gone in under ten minutes. "They said Bad Bunny didn’t have fans in Brazil, and now the tickets are sold out in less than 10 minutes," tweeted one fan, highlighting the unexpected surge in interest.
The general ticket sales are set to commence on May 9, 2025, at 10 AM, allowing the wider public to secure their spots for the concert scheduled for February 20, 2026, at Allianz Parque in São Paulo. This performance is part of Bad Bunny's "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour," which will cover fewer countries in Latin America than his previous "Hottest Tour" but is expected to attract fans from across the region.
In a remarkable twist, Spotify reported a significant increase in Bad Bunny's listenership in Brazil, with a fourfold rise from 2024 to 2025, driven by the success of his latest album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," released on January 5, 2025. Over the past year, streams of Bad Bunny's music in Brazil increased by 43%, peaking at 1.8 million streams on January 17, 2025, shortly after the album's release. The artist's tracks have been added to over four million playlists in Brazil, with São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, and Porto Alegre leading in consumption.
Moreover, the announcement of Bad Bunny's tour has propelled him into the Top 10 global Spotify rankings, with his song "DtMF" achieving 3.3 million streams on May 6, 2025. Currently, he boasts 81.7 million monthly listeners, making him the most streamed Latin artist worldwide. His album has also spawned a Portuguese version of the hit song "DTMF," titled "Nossas Fotos," performed by Felipe Amorim and Zé Felipe, which topped streaming platforms in Brazil.
As the excitement builds, fans are eager to learn about ticket pricing. The cheapest option is the upper chair, priced at R$ 535 (half-price for R$ 267.50), while the common track ticket costs R$ 595 (half-price for R$ 297.50). The lower chair is available for R$ 875 (half-price for R$ 437.50), and the most premium sections, Pit 1 and Pit 2, are priced at R$ 1,075 (half-price for R$ 537.50). Additionally, VIP packages are available, with the "VIP Ultimate Bad Bunny Lounge" costing R$ 8,788.63 (half-price for R$ 8,143.63), which includes early entry and access to a lounge with food and drinks.
Bad Bunny's first show in Brazil marks a significant milestone in his career, particularly as he continues to break barriers in the Latin music scene. His unique blend of reggaeton and Latin trap has resonated with audiences worldwide, and his upcoming performance in São Paulo is expected to be a historic event, showcasing the global reach of Latin music.
As the date approaches, fans are preparing for what promises to be an unforgettable night filled with energy and celebration of Bad Bunny's music. With ticket sales set to begin soon, the anticipation is palpable, and many are hopeful to secure their place in this landmark concert.
