Daddy Yankee concert chronology

The Big Boss World Tour was a concert tour by reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee to promote his album El Cartel: The Big Boss. This was his second arena tour in the United States.[1] Initially, the tour was planned to end in mid-2008. However, due to the success of his soundtrack Talento de Barrio, more dates were added and the tour extended to 2009.[2]

Background[]

Barrio Fino become the best selling reggaeton album of all time selling more than three million copies worldwide and was one of the few albums in Spanish to sell more than one million copies in the United States. After his Barrio Fino World Tour was concluded, he started to work on his next album. On April 16, 2007,[3] MTV and Billboard announced the dates of the arena tour in the United States and mentioned that he would also perform 20-plus concerts in Mexico and South America through early December. In those markets, he would play both arenas and 30,000 to 40,000-capacity stadiums.

Commercial reception[]

In the United States, Billboard reported that ticket prices would range from $40 to $100. Some of the concerts were sold out. However, some sources reported that the concert in Madison Square Garden received a poor audience. In his native Puerto Rico, both concerts were sold out and in Bolivia the media reported over 50,000 fans in the venue. In 2009, the concert at Colombia with Aventura, over 30,000 fans were reported and 20,000 in Chile.[4]

In the Dominican Republic, the media reported that both concerts were sold out. In Santo Domingo, the attendance was more than 8,000.[5]
