Hundreds of fans were reportedly shut out at one of Bad Bunny's shows in Mexico City over the weekend after the concert was flooded with fake tickets
Bad Bunny performing during his second concert at Azteca Stadium, as a part of World Hottest Tour, on December 10, 2022 in Mexico City, Mexicoat Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Friday was plagued with ticketing and entrance issues after an “unprecedented” amount of people with “fake tickets” attempted to enter the venue.
Those with legitimate tickets were apparently shut out in the chaos after entrances were closed to address “security,” according to the venue. “The inconveniences at the entrances were a consequence of the high unprecedented number of fake tickets which caused crowding of people more than typical,” Ticketmaster Mexico wrote, in a translated post. “The crowding caused confusion and complicated the entrance to the stadium, which led to people with legitimate tickets, not being allowed entry.” Ticketmaster apologized and said those with legitimate tickets will receive refunds.
A rep for Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation referred to Ticketmaster Mexico’s statement in response toRolling StoneIn recent years, Ticketmaster has switched to mostly digital ticketing in the U.S., which includes an “encrypted bar code that automatically refreshes every few seconds,”from the company. It cannot be screenshot or photocopied, thereby making it much more difficult to produce a “fake ticket.
