Karol G Moves Sunday Mexico City Show to Nov. 17, Tickets Valid
Karol G's Nov. 15 concert at Estadio GNP Seguros moves to Tuesday, Nov. 17, for health reasons. Tickets stay valid and refunds go through Ticketmaster.
Karol G’s concert scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City has been moved to Tuesday, Nov. 17, at the same stadium. The promoter OCESA said in a statement that the change was made for health reasons. Tickets for the original date remain valid for the new one.
The show was the third of three Mexico City dates on her Viajando por el Mundo Tropitour, which had Nov. 13, 14 and 15 on the calendar at the venue.
What it means for ticket holders
People who bought tickets for Nov. 15 do not need to do anything to keep their seats, according to OCESA. The same ticket will be accepted on Nov. 17.
Those who prefer a refund can request it through their Ticketmaster account. OCESA said the process starts with the Help button in the account, where the instructions appear. The company also shared a link to Ticketmaster’s purchase policy for questions about the procedure.
OCESA had earlier reported that 65.9% of buyers for the Estadio GNP Seguros dates live in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. By the company’s reading, that means roughly one in three attendees travels from other states, a group that may have to adjust transport or lodging for the new date.
What OCESA said about the postponement
In its statement, OCESA said the decision gives priority to the singer’s health and well-being. It added that, after two nights of music in Mexico City, it regretted not being able to share the evening with fans who expected to attend. The statement said Karol G thanked fans for their affection and asked for understanding. Sources did not disclose details of her condition.
According to El Financiero, guests at the first two concerts included Thalía and Belinda, and there was speculation that Paulina Rubio would appear on Sunday.
The tour and its local economic weight
The Mexico dates are part of a run of six shows in the country. The tour completed three nights at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey on Nov. 6, 7 and 8 before moving to the capital. Before the concerts, Karol G held a special event in Mexico City on Nov. 4 to celebrate her album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.
The tour has 63 confirmed concerts. After its North American leg, where it sold more than a million tickets, it continues through Latin America and Europe.
CONCANACO SERVYTUR, the national chamber of commerce, services and tourism, estimated the capital’s concerts would generate about 460 million pesos in economic activity, according to figures OCESA circulated. Of that, 300 million pesos would go to lodging and 160 million pesos to local spending.
What to watch
The rescheduled concert is set for Nov. 17 at Estadio GNP Seguros. Attendees who want a refund instead should use the Ticketmaster account route described by OCESA. Anyone driving to the stadium on a weekday may also want to check the Hoy No Circula driving restrictions for their vehicle.
