Bad Bunny cancels Most Wanted Tour show due to poor ticket sales

[Teletubby 143,846]

Bad Bunny canceled his show in Minneapolis just two days before the event.

Puerto Rican mega star Bad Bunny’s 3/23 concert at the Target Center in Minneapolis has been canceled, with local press reports citing “poor ticket sales as the culprit, an issue compounded by the steep prices for most seats.”

Earlier this week, the arena's available tickets appeared to be less than half-sold for show, which would have been Bad Bunny’s first in the Twin Cities in six years. 

Ticketholders were sent alerts this morning that the gig was called off, and refunds or credits are being automatically sent via Ticketmaster. No plans were announced to reschedule.

But wouldn’t it be more expensive to call off the show than to perform to the few people in the crowd? Accountants explain

Not it being the Most Wanted Tour

Not necessarily. Every time the stage is set up money goes at it. In every city they hire local constructors and production companies, which get a cut of the ticket sales. If they cancel, then the services of these parts is no longer required and less money is spent in traveling and setting the show. 
 

I remember reading that the BTWB cost 1M every time they had to set the stage at every date.

 

its cutting losses essentially I guess

But there were two days remaining, maybe the stage was in production?

Target Center has still 2 events scheduled (today and tomorrow) before the Bad Bunny concert so stage wasn't in production

Oh I did not realize it was the close to finishing. I guess they still try to cut losses even if it was just the final shows

I feel like he's popular on social media but that a lot of people don't really care about his music?
