Almost all seated tickets are gone for the 3 Chile dates now, but there's tickets remaining on ALL standing sections for all 3 dates.

The map has been looking like that since they announced the new dates

Rumours:

 

 

Milano - Ippodromo La Maura 

 

Fans DO NOT like open fields.  It's getting negative feedback already.  They should book stadiums.  It's going to turn into Chile x2.

[xxjohnxx]

BTW, since fans seem to be focused on Taylor and Beyonce, who are the biggest female touring acts in history, they don't notice how big Shakira's numbers are.  Just her dates in Mexico are already bigger than Gaga's entire Chromatica Ball stadium tour.   That tour was 20 stadiums, Shakira is doing 22 stadiums in Mexico, and counting.

London - O2

 

Basically it's all stadiums except the UK

 

I would not be surprised if she cancels this show and books a stadium if they find the demand is higher than they expected.

Especially now when she's becoming a family oriented concert 

[Chemist]

She is basically doing a stadium residency in Mexico. Outrageous

I was about to buy tickets for the 10th Mexico City but I stopped. I need to be smarter about my time off.

 

The ideal show was the one on September 29th but I was not able to snag tickets. Oh well... maybe I'll catch the show in an arena, I am just "worried" about the US crowds.

 

I wonder why the Arlington and San Antonio shows are struggling so much, Texas is a big latin market...  Also weird to see the 2nd shows in Phoenix and Houston doing bad, maybe tickets are too expensive?

 

She should book a stadium in London, I am pretty sure she could sell it out... As for the Spain stadiums... why isn't she doing the Barca/Real Madrid stadiums? Are they being renovated?

 

Shakira was pretty big in the UK in the 2000s, but her last top ten hit there was She Wolf. Not sure if she could sell it out. Then again, Taylor Swift had sold out concerts in France with like only two top ten hits there. 

[Lorelei]

I don't think we can compare TS to anyone, not with that tour gross; even without massive hits her tour had so much noise about how incredible it was that people would pay to see her even if they didn't know her hits. Plus she has amassed a big global fan base that is willing to shill out hundreds to see her all over Europe. The Eras Tour was hyped up as a once in a lifetime tour.

Meanwhile people aren't aware outside South America that Shakira is currently touring. She needs to promote before she comes to Europe. I've had people asking me if she has a new album out

Shakira's tour already appears to be very profitable. Even the Mexico residency alone is more than most artists would tour in an entire continent, in terms of both profit and attendance numbers.  

 

She doesn't seem to be too worried about Europe, since she won't be touring there until 2026 anyways. By then, I imagine she will have a couple new songs out, and some more new English songs too. She could do a residency in Spain, skip the rest of Europe, and it would still be successful.

It is obviously a tour designed to focus mostly on her LatAm audience hence all these new dates and legs. She's milking the demand she's had for years but was never fully exploited for more than a decade. Europe will be an afterthought and that's fine.

You're right. I don't think Shakira herself realized her touring demand. She's been doing sandal commercials, random endorsements, and trying to strategically hold onto money (LOL), when she could have just been touring like all the high-earning musicians. 

 

With her team, it's always hard to tell if they are keeping things a secret, or if they just haven't planned anything.  I hope she has something big planned for Europe and Asia.

Ikr the abysmal touring numbers she's always had were baffling. 

Well, let's hope she doesn't forget to pay taxes to Mexico for all this revenue

[EtherealCat]

i hope all those european stadium/field rumors means shes got something coming for the european audience and wont just show up exepecting to sell out fields from nothing

[rta1913]

According to a reliable insider, she is doing more dates in Mexico in the following cities:

 

Veracruz

San Luis Potosi

Toluca

Aguascalientes

Torreon

Chihuahua

Merida

 

That would be a total of 29 dates in the country, absouletely insane. Some of these seem weird as they are very close to Mexico City. Puebla and Queretaro are already very close as is. More than likely she will also add another date in Monterrey, for a total of 30 dates. What's crazy is that the prices for these new shows are ridiculously high. I was spot checking some of the Queretaro seats that are still available and they are going for 400+ USD and that's not even like super close. I am all for her to really take advantage of the demand, but those prices are crazy, wasn't she all for "affordable" tickets?

I think she may be done singing in english, but she's always been massive in Europe except for Denmark and UK. I'd say her success there is almost as huge as Latin America.

Let's hope for the best. If they had no trouble with Puebla and Querétaro, I'm guessing they'll have no problem with Toluca since they have a +2M population, and Veracruz is not thaat near, so they could capitalize of residents who wouldn't travel for her concert.

 

The only one that seems like a reach it's Chihuahua, since it's too isolated and it would be a nightmare to transport everything in there.

You are right, even if San Luis and Toluca are so close to CDMX, Queretaro and Puebla, the whole area is so densely populated that the shows will sell out. Toluca would basically be Foro Sol x12. I agree with Chihuahua, like I would love for it to be true but seems weird. Also I think they don't even have a big stadium, as they don't have a soccer team. It would make more sense a date in El Paso, Texas. RBD did more than 6M USD there and Coldplay just sold out 2 dates.

She's always had strong touring numbers.  The problems is that they were not archived because Shakira's team rarely releases boxscores.  With this tour she is, in the past she didn't.  The majority of her touring numbers from previous tours are guesses.  My theory is that in the past sketchy people like Antonio preferred to not disclose official numbers.

Shakira always does that. She does a bunch of shows in Latin America, and then US / Europe.  The only thing that's different is that demand for this tour went up exponentially.  And I think it's because people are seeing that for the first time Shakira is doing a show that is a big production.  She's reached her full potential with this tour.  EDT was Shakira milking demand, for this tour demand for Shakira grew.  Sessions was massive, that could be why, along with her recent hits.  In the past they did the amount of shows that Shakira was capable of.  I'm not sure how long you've been following Shakira.  But, her instantly selling out stadiums in Latin America is something new for her.  She's always done stadiums in Latin America, but it was usually 1 show per city and it did not sellout instantly.  It took months for them to sell, and sometimes they didn't even fully sell out.   For example. for EDT they wanted to do 3 shows at Azteca stadium but the demand was just there for 2.  Demand for Shakira definitely grew with this tour.   Even her stadium shows in the US are all close to selling out.  Shakira's stadium shows in the US are selling just as good, if not better than Gaga's Chromatica Ball Stadium tour.  

 

Maybe demand for Shakira also grew in Europe?  Some people here were laughing at Shakira doing stadiums in the US, thinking they would be half empty.  North Carolina was a show some people thought would be half empty.  It's currently 75% sold and steadily growing. Most likely, demand for Shakira in Europe will also be larger with this tour.  We'll see. 

 

Even Shakira's worst selling US stadiums are doing well.  San Antonio is currently at 74% sold. When Pink performed here for her Summer Carnival stadium tour, one side of the entire top section was covered in black tarp.  She sold way less than Shakira at that same stadium.  By the time the show happens Shakira will be at over 80%, so it will look soldout even if it isn't.

She did not want to tour while she was with Pique.  Her kids were young and she felt if she left Pique alone he would cheat, which he did. Shakira's star power has always been diminished by her horrible team.  They don't know how to marker her right.  This tour is a step in the right direction though, it's Shakira at her absolute best.  Imagine how big Shakira would be if she toured with this much effort since the Oral Fixation tour?   Each Shakira tour would have sold like the current tour.  Shakira in the past was untapped potential.  Shakira is currently at her creative peak, most likely because she finally hired a top tier team to put her tour together.  Most likely from talking to Beyonce.  This tour is a massive upgrade from her previous tours, and people are noticing.

Shakira was never seen as a touring force, let's be real.  What happens is that she has been having such a commercial success since El Dorado, the current album is a flop but the droplets were very much huge in the market. That add to the whole boom of concerts post-Covid, she is doing incredible

Well she has always been seen as a touring force until 2017/ 18 because people had new definition for what a touring force stands for. That means doing stadiums.

El Dorado World Tour didn't do any stadiums in the US and Europe (except Turkey) so she was ticked out from the touring force list. Now she's back again being listed as one of them.

It's really sad how the perception of her touring power got so damaged after her Barcelona days.

Mess. They're going to cancel the rescheduled shows for "logistical reasons" 

 

Shakira will be banned from Chile for years
