Hello friends, how are you? I hope really very well! Today I am going to tell you a sad story haha a couple of days ago they announced on the official Livepass twitter that they would be in charge of selling the tickets for Bad Bunny's next show in Argentina. I personally went crazy! I've been a big fan of Bad Bunny for 3/4 years, more or less since he began a friendship and collaboration with Residente de Calle 13, until before that I hadn't paid much attention to him as an artist. Question, lately I play her songs in all situations, whether I'm alone at home, or traveling by transport with my headphones, in meetings, on birthdays, with friends, etc. It's part of my day to day, and for some time now I've been thinking about the possibility of going to see him when he deigns to do a show in Buenos Aires... it finally happened.
Hola amigos, que tal estan? espero que realmente muy bien! hoy voy a contarles una triste historia jaja hace un par de dias anunciaron en el twitter oficial de Livepass que serian los encargados de vender las entradas para el proximo show de Bad Bunny en argentina. Personalmente me volví loca! hace 3/4 años que estoy muy fan de Bad Bunny, mas o menos desde que comenzó una amistad y colaboracion con Residente de Calle 13, hasta antes de eso no le habia prestado mucha atencion como artista. Cuestion, en este ultimo tiempo reproduzco sus canciones en toda situacion, ya sea que esté sola en casa, o viajando en transporte con mis auriculares, en reuniones, en cumpleaños, con amigos, etc. Forma parte de mi dia a dia, y ya hace un tiempo he estado pensando en la posibilidad de ir a verlo cuando se digne a hacer un show en Buenos Aires.. finalmente sucedió.

The tickets were not so expensive for me compared to the other artists who will come this year, I have seen many people who have gone into debt to see their artists and I was not going to be one of those, so that relieved me haha. First, a presale was held for bank customers...the tickets were sold out in 30 minutes.
Las entradas no me resultaron tan costosas a comparacion de los otros artistas que vendran éste año, he visto mucha gente que se ha endeudado por ir a ver a sus artistas y yo no iba a ser una de esas, asi que eso me alivió jaja. Primero se realizó una preventa para clientes de un banco....las entradas se terminaron en 30 minutos.

The official sale would take place on the 2/2 at 12 pm. That day I couldn't sleep because I was afraid of falling asleep, I got out of bed at 8am, turned on the pc and opened the page to have everything ready. Then they announce that they were going to enable a "pre line" at 11 am so that later, in a RANDOM way, they will redirect us to the official line at 12 pm.
La venta oficial se realizaria el dia 2/2 a las 12hs. Ese dia no pude dormir porque tenia miedo de quedarme dormida, me levanté de la cama 8am, prendí la pc y abrí la pagina para tener todo listo. Entonces anuncian que iban a habilitar una "pre fila" a las 11 am para que luego de forma ALEATORIA nos redirigan a la fila oficial de las 12 hs.
Throughout this process I was in contact with two friends who were also queuing, in case something strange happened we counted on us to buy the other's ticket. We were very nervous, since the pre-sale was somewhat chaotic and that day there were more than 70k people in line.
Durante todo éste proceso yo estuve con contacto con dos amigas que tambien estaban haciendo la fila, en el caso de que algo extraño suceda contabamos con nosotras para comprar la entrada de la otra. Estabamos muy nerviosas, ya que la preventa fue algo caotica y ese dia habia mas de 70k de personas en la fila.
and finally the worst happened when we were redirected at 12pm to the queue.... randomly I was left with 140 thousand people in front of me! the capacity of the Velez stadium where Bad Bunny is going to perform is only 50 thousand people. So I had two full stadiums in front of me. In front of my friends there were 70k in one and 230k in another. We were lost, we started to speculate that they were probably going to announce another date.
y finalmente sucedió lo peor cuando fuimos redirigidas a las 12pm a la fila.... aleatoriamente quedé con 140 mil personas delante mio! la capacidad del estadio de Velez donde Bad Bunny se va a presentar es de tan solo 50 mil personas. Osea que tenia dos estadios completos delante de mi. Delante de mis amigas habian 70k en una y 230k en otra. Estabamos perdidas, comenzamos a especular con que probablemente iban a anunciar otra fecha.
and exactly that happened, 40 minutes from 12 pm the tickets were sold out, and an hour later they announced another date. Tickets will be sold that same day and the queue will open at 6:00 p.m. New hopes. Together with my friends we rescheduled the plan, the idea was to go to the VIP field. Considering that they are the first tickets to be sold, we consider going to the stalls, or general field. If we didn't get then we weren't going to buy.
y exactamente eso sucedió, 40 minutos desde las 12 pm las entradas estaban agotadas, y una hora despues anunciaron otra fecha. Las entradas se venderian ese mismo dia y la fila se habilitaria a las 18 hs. Nuevas esperanzas. Junto con mis amigas volvimos a programar el plan, la idea era ir al campo vip. Considerando que son las primeras entradas en venderse consideramos ir a platea, o campo general. Si no conseguiamos entonces no ibamos a comprar.
While I was waiting for the official line to open I was thinking very negatively friends, I'm going to be honest. I felt very sad about not getting tickets for the first date, and I was furious about the poor organization. I read comments on the official Livepass twitter of people insulting them for the random line they had scheduled, it was very unfair. And I totally agreed with those angry people haha.
Mientras esperaba que la fila oficial se abra estuve pensando muy negativamente amigos, voy a ser sincera. Me sentia muy triste por no conseguir entradas para la primer fecha, y estaba furiosa por la mala organizacion. Lei comentarios en el twitter oficial de Livepass de gente insultandolos por la fila aleatoria que habian programado, era muy injusta. Y estaba totalmente de acuerdo con esa gente enojada jaja.
And then I was redirected to the checkout line and I had 165k people in front of me. Ready guys, there were no tickets for me. I talk to my friends, same situation. There were no tickets for any of us. They began to speculate for a third date and I no longer wanted to know anything more. I closed the pages and turned off the pc. I cried a little sitting on the couch telling my mother
y entonces fui redigirida a la fila para comprar y tenia 165k personas delante. Listo chicos, no habia entradas para mi. Les hablo a mis amigas, misma situacion. No habia entradas para ninguna de nosotros. Comenzaron a especular para una tercera fecha y yo ya no queria saber mas nada. Cerré las paginas y apagué la pc. Lloré un poquito sentada en el sillon contandole a mi madre
I'm not a person who goes to recitals because being with so many people makes me anxious, I feel very confined and I start short of breath. But I was willing to overcome that fear in order to see my favorite artist of the last few years, it makes me really very sad to know that I will not go. I'm sure it's going to be an incredible show and I'm very envious of those who got tickets, but there are many more of us who are going to have to watch it on TV.
No soy una persona que va a recitales porque el estar con tanta gente me da ansiedad, me siento muy encerrada y comienza a faltarme el aire. Pero estaba dispuesta a superar ese miedo con tal de ver a mi artista favorito de los ultimos años, me pone realmente muy triste saber que no voy a ir. Estoy segura que va a ser un show increible y tengo mucha envidia de los que consiguieron entradas, pero somos muchos mas los que vamos a tener que verlo por tv.
And so my story ends friends, there is nothing more to add.
y asi termina mi historia amigos, no hay nada mas que agregar.
un beso y un abrazo, heypuch
