It should come as no surprise that on the first day of sales, the $1,600 VVIP tickets for Beyonce’s concert were sold out at bmobile’s Brian Lara Promenade store in Port of Spain. The event is part of the superstar’s I AM… World Tour extension to South America for a series of live concerts, beginning on February 4, 2010. The two-week run will end at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain on February 18. Since the tour was launched in March, fans the world over have been rushing for tickets to see the Grammy Award winner perform live. Tickets for what would be Trinidad and Tobago’s first major concert for 2010 went on sale online and at all bmobile and TSTT locations, as well as bmobile and TSTT authorised partners yesterday.
Graeme Suite, manager of media relations at Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT), assured that the company was in the process of restocking the $1,600 tickets at the Port of Spain outlet. Although he was unable to say how many VVIP tickets were initially sold, it is being anticipated that 25,000 patrons will attend the concert. ’A lot of people are excited about the prospects about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and people are making active plans to be part of this unique experience. ’Many people have been enquiring about the tickets at our various stores and we have been receiving a lot of calls as well,’ he said.
Suite said VIP tickets for the ’Ash Thursday’ event, which are priced $1,000, and general admission tickets, which cost $450, were also being bought. This is the first time the internationally-renowned entertainer will perform live concerts in Trinidad and South America.
