The tour concluded with two climatic shows held at Campo Argentino de Polo in Buenos Aires, Argentina — the very birthplace of his resurgence. Over 60,000 fans attended these final performances, singing along to beloved classics like "Suave," "Hasta Que Me Olvides," and "La Media Vuelta." The atmosphere was electric, with the crowd's energy palpable as they celebrated their idol's triumphant return.

According to Billboard Boxscore, the tour grossed around $318.2 million across its first 146 concerts, with estimates of total revenues soaring over $400 million.
