As we all know, Bad Bunny recently announced his “Most Wanted Tour.” This exciting news made his fans happy as they hadn’t been expecting much from Benito this year. Yet, in less than a year, he gave them new music and a new album, “nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana.” But the excitement subsided quickly as the tour details unfolded. 

Bad Bunny declared that the “Most Wanted Tour” marked a return to his roots, embracing the Trap Bunny era to cater to his original fan following. The catch? He wanted only his “real” fans in attendance, a sentiment that had his supporters even more hyped. To secure tickets, fans were required to register in advance. 

Anticipation was at an all-time high as countless followers registered and eagerly waited for the notification that would grant them access to purchase tickets. The big moment finally arrived yesterday, but what many encountered left them in shock. As they logged into Ticketmaster, their excitement gave way to frustration when they were met with ticket prices that seemed utterly outrageous. 

This disheartening trend of skyrocketing concert ticket prices has not gone unnoticed. SeatGeek, a prominent ticket marketplace, provided confirmation to the Wall Street Journal that the average price of concert tickets has doubled over the past five years. In 2019, fans could typically expect to pay around $125 for a concert ticket, while in 2023, that figure had surged to a staggering $252. This trend appears particularly prominent among A-list celebrities, with stars like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé similarly demanding exorbitant prices from their fans. 

However, this leads to a thought-provoking question: are these musicians losing sight of the essence of their fanbase and its significance? Music, at its core, is a universally cherished art form, transcending boundaries of socioeconomic status. But when artists release tickets at price points that place them out of reach for a significant portion of their admirers, a discouraging message is sent — your love for their music is measured by the contents of your wallet. 

Fans Are Sharing the Sentiment of Bad Bunny’s Song, ‘Maldita Pobreza’

While this might serve as motivation for some to strive for greater financial stability, it’s crucial for artists like Bad Bunny to consider the diverse backgrounds of their supporters. A great portion of Bad Bunny’s fanbase is comprised of Latinas, who, in the United States, earn substantially less compared to their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts. Shockingly, it’s not uncommon for Latinas to receive just 54 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts, making them the most underpaid demographics. 

Given this stark reality, Latinas must manage their finances even more cautiously than their peers. It’s disappointing to observe that Bad Bunny, who once portrayed himself as an advocate for social issues and equality, has seemingly succumbed to greed. The truth is, he could have chosen to sell tickets at reasonable prices and still raked in quite the earnings. Instead, he opted for nosebleed seats priced between $300 and $500 (and more in some states), with floor seats soaring beyond $1,000. 

Of course, this had adverse reactions. A wave of disappointment among fans took to social media to voice their grievances. These are the very fans who have consistently propelled Bad Bunny to viral stardom time and time again. Bad Bunny claimed he wanted only genuine fans at his concerts, but it appears that the unspoken caveat may have been affluence. 

Artists must remember that the true essence of music lies in its ability to unite people from all walks of life, regardless of their financial status. Yet, it remains to be seen whether artists will heed this call and ensure that their fans are not left feeling left out in the cold due to the rising cost of admission.
