Another Day, Another Ticketmaster Disaster: Hundreds of Bad Bunny Ticketholders Denied Entry in Mexico City
Ticketmaster is in hot water again following its botched sale of Taylor Swift tickets last month, which generated lawsuits and widespread outrage. This past weekend, many hundreds of concertgoers with legitimate tickets were turned away from a Bad Bunny concert in Mexico City, leading to widespread confusion at the venue and delaying the show by an hour.
Ticketmaster later issued a statement claiming an “unprecedented” number of people were sold fake tickets to the show, leading to “unusual overcrowding,” “confusion” among personnel, and the “intermittent operation” of its systems. As a result, hundreds of people with genuine tickets were denied entry. Ticketmaster has denied that it oversold tickets to the show.
Social media images of the concert show large swaths of empty seats in the Estadio Azteca for what was reported to be a sold-out show. Mexico’s Federal Attorney’s Office for Consumers (PROFECO) reported that it had already received 1,600 complaints from angry ticketholders and that it had determined that many of the tickets that Ticketmaster had claimed were false, in fact, legitimate. PROFECO has announced that Ticketmaster will be required to reimburse fans for the price of tickets they were prohibited from using, plus an additional 20% of the ticket price, and may also be forced to pay a fine of up to 10% of its 2021 earnings.
Mexico’s quick action is in sharp contrast to the sluggish investigations of U.S. lawmakers and regulators under similar circumstances.
In his daily news conference, Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, called on Bad Bunny to play a free concert in Mexico City’s Zócalo plaza. Bad Bunny has not offered any social media comment on this request or the ticketing issues at his show.

“Sometimes people turn in their verses and sometimes they don’t,” she said during an interview on Hot 97 via NME. “And a lot of people just like did not turn in their verses, but I’m grateful for who did.”

The whiteboard also has a section labeled Benchmarks where it lists RNB and Grunge (specifically, The Cardigans). You can also make out the words “murder them” which might be a reference to songs like “Kill Bill.” It also has the phrase “guard down.”

A Christmas Lights Show In Houston Went Viral For Syncing Its Display To Songs By Bad Bunny And Lil Jon
If your several plays of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” have worn out your stereo, a Houston homeowner has come up with a creative way to crunk up the holidays. A man by the name of Frank To-ong, better known as H-Town Frankie is returning with his perfectly synced Christmas lights for the ninth year in a row.
While it’s not unusual for homeowners to sync their Christmas lights to traditional holiday carols, Frankie likes to sync his lights to blink and display to some big bangers.
In one TikTok clip, some of Frankie’s lights are seen blinking to Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz’s “Get Low,” with the lyrics on display on the closed garage door.
@htown_frankie Thanks @Lil Jon!
#htown_frankie #christmas2022 #fyp
Another clip sees the lights putting on a show to one of this year’s biggest hits, “Titi Me Pregunto” by Bad Bunny.
@htown_frankie @Bad Bunny did my Christmas lights this year.
It appears that Frankie likes to get in the Christmas spirit beginning in November. In one clip, the lights are seen dancing to the viral trap remix of Shirley Caesar’s “Beans, Greens, Tomatoes,” song which recirculates every Thanksgiving season.
@htown_frankie Thanksgiving week … Queue the Anthem! I fry turkeys. What’s your go to dish? #htown_frankie #christmas2022 #fyp
In an interview with Secret Houston, Frankie expressed pride in his hometown, as well as the lights’ global impact.
“When people know that the creator of this content is from Houston, that makes me proud,” said Frankie. “That is the coolest thing ever. This is my town. This is my city.”
Check out some of the Christmas light syncs above.

Mexico’s President Asks Bad Bunny to Perform Free Show Following Fake Ticket Debacle
Mexico’s President Really Wants Bad Bunny To Give A Free Concert After The Ticketmaster Fiasco
On December 9 and 10, many Bad Bunny fanatics were left distraught outside his shows in Mexico City due to being denied entry despite their tickets. Ticketmaster’s statement claimed it was a result of fans buying fake tickets from secondhand sellers. Either way, the incident was devastating.
According to The Guardian, Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is so invested in the situation that he brought it up during a morning news conference, asking Bad Bunny to give a free concert at the capital’s central Zócalo plaza. He said, “I ask Bad Bunny, I know he is overworked and tired because he works a lot, but I ask him to consider the possibility of coming to Mexico, to the Zócalo. Hopefully he comes.”
“It made us very emotional to see sad young people who couldn’t enter because their tickets were cloned, because they were cheated, some crying,” he added. “They saved for a long time to be able to buy their tickets.”
It was also previously revealed that Mexico’s Federal Attorney’s Office For Consumers (PROFECO) launched an investigation into Ticketmaster. “As we are a fiscal authority, if they don’t want to pay of their own will, we will seize their accounts then, and they will pay because they have to,” said Ricardo Sheffield, the head of PROFECO.
