Live music events have faced increased challenges; in 2023, concert ticket prices rose by an average of 7.1% across major markets, reflecting the rising costs of production and logistics (Industry Report 2024).
Addressing the Problem
Shakira emphasized her concern for safety and the importance of providing a reliable show. She had previously addressed a similar issue with the stage structure in Boston. The artist personally intervened to ensure a thorough review by engineers.
The singer expressed her sadness about canceling the show, especially as many fans were already at the venue. While the San Antonio concert is postponed, Shakira’s shows will continue in Houston starting Monday.
