Background

Barrio Fino become the best selling reggaeton album of all time selling more than three million copies worldwide and was one the few album 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, [1]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 the Dominican Republic, the media reported that both concerts were sold out. In Santo Domingo, the attendance was more than 8,000.[2]
