Bad Bunny Launches $200M Puerto Rico Residency, Tickets Sold Globally

Bad Bunny is set to perform a historic 30-date residency titled "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, focusing primarily on his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The residency, running from July to September, includes an exclusive period for Puerto Rican residents, with over 125,000 tickets sold to locals who had to prove residency, reflecting the artist's deep connection and commitment to his homeland. Bad Bunny has expressed a strong desire to honor Puerto Rican traditions and culture through this residency, hiring over 1,000 local workers and emphasizing the island's duality of pride and hardship. Despite his global fame and extensive world tour, he continues to live in Puerto Rico and uses his platform to highlight the island's complexities, choosing the residency's title to reflect his love and resilience toward his home. The residency is expected to have a significant economic impact on Puerto Rico, with estimates nearing $200 million in revenue from tourism-related sectors. Bad Bunny distinguishes this residency from large-scale productions like Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, focusing instead on a more intimate, album-centered experience for his audience.
