Louis Tomlinson in Peru: Expansion of the capacity of his concert is in the hands of the government

Louis tomlinson announced his great arrival in Peru for next June 1, 2022. The followers of the former member of One Direction they quickly sold out all available tickets and are requesting that the capacity be increased; However, this will only be possible with the approval of the health authorities due to the COVID-19 situation in our country.

In an interview with Trade, Coqui Fernández, general producer of the company Move Concerts and in charge of organizing the event of Louis tomlinson, confirmed that they did not expect this concert to have this great positive response from the public.

“It is an amazing euphoria. When we hired you five months ago, Tomlinson it was not so (fashionable). We have been in this for many years and sometimes our noses have failed us, but the truth is that it has generated a lot of euphoria in its audience “ stressed.

He also stressed that the British artist could have sold between 18 to 20 thousand tickets in our country if we were in a normal situation, without the health emergency that we are going through. Despite this, Fernández confirmed to this newspaper that they are working to request the relevant authorities to increase the capacity.

“We have taken risks, we have made an effort, not only now but for years and we must capitalize on our success. We are first interested (in increasing the capacity), but we have always been super respectful of the regulations. ”, he pointed out.

Due to the fact that the regulations established by the Government vary depending on the health situation in each region, Move Concerts continues to analyze the possibilities that exist so that no follower is left without seeing their favorite artist.

On the alternative of doing the concert of Louis tomlinson in another venue, Coqui Fernández has been clear that this is not a viable option. The Arena Peru has been the chosen place for the event and has the capacity to receive more than 20 thousand people; however, only 6 thousand tickets can be sold to respect biosecurity measures.

“We all know that these (the protocols) change fortnight to fortnight. There are always news regarding gauges and permits. There is a lot of time left and what I ask of people is patience “.

The followers of the former One Direction have asked through social networks that Move Concerts organize a second concert in our country. But the response from the producer has been negative. “. What we do will be in the same place “, he highlighted.

“We must trust our authorities, and let the public know that we are always going to be prudent. We are making every effort so that no one is left without tickets. Do not doubt that Move, once again, will be up to the task “, ended

Trade contacted Stefany Arroyo, representative of the Louis Tomlinson Peru fan club on Facebook. She stressed that many fans of the British singer have contacted the page to tell about the inconveniences they have had to acquire their tickets, both in the presale and in the general sale.

“Tickets were also sold out super fast on Saturday. All 1,400 tickets were sold out in less than 10 minutes. (…) In the general sale it was the same and in the virtual queue there were more than 20 thousand people waiting. The arrival of Louis has made Teleticket collapse, it has really been a boom. Tickets are no longer listed on the web and the page keeps dropping “, said.

At first they thought of requesting that the venue of the event be changed to the Jockey or an additional date be added, but the response from Move Concerts has been negative. For this reason, they have expressed their wish that the relevant authorities approve the expansion of the capacity. “ The fans are the most concerned ”.

The representative of the Louis Tomlinson fan club in Peru also highlighted the problem that has occurred with ticket resellers. Many of them offer them for a high amount; and there could even be cases of scam. “There is a possibility that an entry will be duplicated. It can be sold to more than one person because it is a virtual document. The issue of resellers is complicated and delicate “, he stressed.

“There are 7 months left in which many things can happen. Months in which many people can continue to get vaccinated. The Ministry (of Health) would have to see the possibilities because the concerts are part of the economic reactivation. Definitely fighting for a percentage more is something that Move could do to get more fans to go “, he pointed out.

It should be noted that the pre-sale of the tickets to the Louis Tomlinson concert was held last Saturday, November 13 and they were finished in a matter of minutes. “Without a doubt, the fever that the youth star has unleashed in the world, is an imminent ‘old out’ in our country”, reads the press release.

This Monday, November 15, the general sale was held from 9 am and the situation was similar. A digital line of more than 20 thousand people was set up and within minutes it was reported that all tickets were sold out.
