Juanes Tickets in Medellin

I am loking for someone who can help me obtain 2 Juanes tickets for 16 de octubre in Medellin. In the US there are ticket brokers who sell tickets to events (US open, Broadway shows etc....) that are hard to get because they are events that are sold out. I am hoping that a similar service exists where I can pay to purchase tickets for this show. I don't know how tickets sales for such events take place in Colombia. Are tickets in sale in advance of a show or is there a queue of people waiting to get in the night of the performance. I would love to see Juanes in Medellin. Any information or hlp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It shouldn´t be that hard Although he´s Medellin´s first son, if you don´t mind paying the upper price tickets, you should be able to get a seat at face value. The normal folks just cannot afford it. Probably in the $100.000 to 200.000 peso range. If you´d like to paypal me for the tix once they go on sale, I can probably pick them up and maybe we can all go together as my girlfriend and I will be going. The stadium sells the tix directly. There are no brokers here but yes there are scalpers but they won´t ask the rediculous prices as in USA like $5000 for a front row seat. Maybe 1.2 times face value for a normal concert and maybe 2 times face value for Juanes. Maybe US$400 for front row.

Here´s some things I noticed in the last few months:
Marc Anthony didn´t sell out although it was very full

Vincente Fernandez´ first concert in Colombia didn´t sell out but again very full

You could have bought a numbered preferencial ticket to the Nacional final after the ida game in Bogota by just walking up to the window 2 days before the final. The lower price tix were gone within hours of the ticket window opening. That final was sold out. Scalpers were asking 2 x´s face value for the lower price seats and 1.5 times for the upper price because the more expensive tix are just harder to sell.

So it´s unfortunately the way it is. They´d love to go but cannot afford it.

PM me if interested. I also live only 5 short blocks from the stadium and 3 blocks from the floresta station on the metro so we could have a pre and post-concert party at my place.

JUANES IN MEDELLIN His manager, Fernan Martinez has informed that Juanes concert in Medellin on October 16th, will be FREE.

Special equipment was brought from Brazil to have a sound that covers several blocks because of the amount of people expected to be there.

details of the show - anyone So, will it be a free-for-all for seats the night of the show? Will they give away ticktes in advance for free - first come first served? Bottom line, what do I have to do to get two ticktes inside to see Juanes. I'd rather not just settle to listening to him on speakers outside the stadium. Will there be assigned seating? If anyone has details..... As much as I'm going to Medellin to take care of some long lost business, I'm really going to see Juanes! I'm a huge fan.
