Jennifer López's concert unexpectedly moves from Málaga to Fuengirola

It happened in the blink of an eye. This Monday morning, the Jennifer López concert at the Ciudad de Málaga Athletics Stadium was still being advertised for the upcoming July 11th, but by the afternoon, there was a surprise: the North American diva's performance has been moved from the capital to the Marenostrum venue. Interestingly, this will be JLo's second concert in Fuengirola, following her 2019 performance. The Last Tour promoters cite "logistical reasons" for this sudden relocation just over two weeks from the event and emphasize that already purchased tickets will remain valid, although they only provide three days from this Monday for a refund to those who do not accept the change of venue.

The official confirmation of the concert venue relocation in the province for the 'Up All Night. Live in 2025' tour has been confirmed by the promoters themselves, who apologize for the "inconvenience" and ask for "understanding." While it is clear that already purchased tickets will still be valid and new tickets will be sent by email before the concert, the change also involves a price alteration due to different space configurations and audience capacity differences. In this case, the organizers commit to relocating affected ticket holders to an area of equal or higher category.

Ticket prices vary widely and have been attempted to replicate those already set for the Athletics Stadium. Thus, in the area closest to the stage, there are three types of tickets: Front Stage, at 222 euros per person (includes handling fees); Golden (includes a gift), 277.30 euros; and Golden Early, which allows earlier entry than the rest to get a good position, 416.25 euros. Then, an intermediate area called General Pista is created, priced at 144.30 euros, while the last section before the stands is priced at 99.90 euros. For the seating area, there is no availability left as everything is sold out. Additionally, there is an exclusive pass for a personal meeting and greeting with Jennifer López ('Meet and greet') available for 1,700 euros (plus fees).

Although these changes are often made to achieve higher audience capacity, in this case, the opposite effect occurs, as the Ciudad de Málaga Athletics Stadium allows a maximum of 27,500 spectators, while the seaside venue of Marenostrum, which will finally host the concert of the 'Up All Night' tour, has a record of 18,500 seats. Nonetheless, for the previous JLo concert, the capacity was 12,000 people, although limits have been expanded over the years in Fuengirola. In any case, the relocation will result in a significant loss of revenue due to fewer tickets being sold.

According to the organizers, attendees of the Málaga concert who will also use their tickets for Marenostrum will not need to take any action, as the ticketing company will send the valid tickets to the buyer. Different is the case for those opting for a refund, as they only have 72 hours to request it through this form, which will be emailed to all those who had already purchased passes for the Athletics Stadium. In this case, it will not only be necessary to fill out and submit the form, but once completed, an email will be sent with the confirmation for the reimbursement, which must also be accepted for the refund to be finalized.
