Bad Bunny concert boosted commerce in the surroundings of Atahualpa; even makeup stalls were set up

Douglas Martínez traveled from Guayaquil with a group of six friends. They did it by plane. University students were part of the line with the first fans to enter the Atahualpa Olympic Stadium, where the artist Benito Martínez, better known as Bad Bunny, will perform tonight.

Martínez said that she bought the ticket for her best friend, Jennifer Chacha, who temporarily put aside her nursing studies to travel to Quito and meet her musical idol, Bad Bunny.

The doors of the sports arena, located on av. December 6, in the north of the capital, they opened after 3:00 p.m. With them, Martínez and his friends took the opportunity to access the stadium.

At that time, the columns of fans exceeded two blocks around the property, where the presence of different kinds of services and products alluding to the artist was seen.

From the shopping center that is located in front of the stadium, people kept offering to buy and sell tickets amid shouts. There were also people who did not carry tickets, the same ones who did not manage to pass the first filter that allowed them to locate themselves in the vicinity of the sports complex.

Likewise, the street vendors, who were also far from the stage, took advantage of the arrival of new followers to sell different products, from food to items with the Bad Bunny insignia.

Until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday the 16th, a large number of Bad Bunny followers continued outside the stadium. However, the lines that surrounded the stage have already ended, the majority managed to enter the different authorized locations.

Bad Bunny fan fashion also set a trend among attendees. The beach clothing, the glasses, the headbands, the glitter on the face and the headbands with rabbit ears became the pattern that was repeated among the people. Others carried tattoos in tribute to the singer.

While they followed the line, several people took the opportunity to eat food and endure the bustle until the start of the concert.

Also, two women took advantage of the occasion and set up an improvised Bad Bunny-style makeup and braids stand. Everything served to take advantage of this concert that brought together thousands of followers from different parts of the country.

The makeup and braid cost $8. Also, if they wanted to purchase a key ring, the deal closed at $10.

Another of the striking points in the preview of the concert was the resale. As all the tickets were sold online (on the web portal), people were heard buying tickets from people who have given up attending the event.

The general location was offered at approximately $130. Traders offered up to $80 to those who no longer planned to enter the stadium, to then sell them at the first value. However, they indicated that there is not much resale, fans preferred to enter the show, although some offered up to $700 for seats that officially cost $230.

There was annoyance in a group of people who formed the entry line for the locality of the tribune.

While the entry course continued, one of the people in charge of the accesses notified them through a megaphone that entry through that place would be suspended, and that they must go to an access located in the northern sector of the stadium.

Angry, they went out to find the new point of entry. The other attendees highlighted the organization, since the filters arranged outside the stadium and the security contingent prevented the presence of street vendors or people outside the concert.

Félix Fiallos, a police colonel, indicated that three security fences were set up prior to the entry of the fans of the Puerto Rican. (YO)
