The Biggest Ever Concert In South Tenerife
Almost 500 people have been involved in the preparations for Marc Anthony's concert tonight in Playa de Las Americas, three hundred of whom are providing security, among them; Red Cross, Civil Protection services, Local Police, National Police, Fire services and the Civil Guard, as well as private security.
Another hundred people have been involved in the production of the concert and the construction of the staging, to which must be added the forty or so people, including musicians, who travelled with Marc Anthony and his wife, Jennifer Lopez, to the island and the team of twenty who are here to record the event for MTV.
All in all, it is the biggest ever paid concert that has ever been held in the south of Tenerife and one of the most expensive in the history of the Canary Islands: an event that the local authorities are, perhaps understandably, calling "historical".
Tenerife singer, Nauzet (who will be performing next week in Buenavista del Norte), has been added to the lineup for the concert that now starts earlier, at 8.30 p.m.
Additional tickets seem to have been released on drip feed: on Tuesday, around 28,000 of the original 30,000 had already been sold. Today, Rider Promotions y Oye Producciones confirmed that, due to the huge public demand, another 2,000 were to be put on sale and, at this rate, they may well fill the 40,000 capacity stadium. The box office also was opening earlier than previously advertised, at 4 p.m.
Beware of Stolen Tickets
Nothing is ever without incident and, it is also reported that a group of four youths robbed the Music Line store in San Isidro (Granadilla) and made off with the contents of the cash register, which as well as money, contained 100 tickets for Marc Anthony's concert - numbered between 1.751 a 1.850. Music Line, as well as the concert organizers, believe that the thieves will attempt to sell these tickets. Music Line expect that the police will be able to apprehend the youths as the store has security cameras and film of the robbery shows the face of one of the robbers.
