Translation of article (dated 1/23/01) Backstreet Boys break record - 220,000 Mexicans will attend four concerts The phenomenon that is the Backstreet Boys and they B&B tour, brought Mexico City to a complete haul, where originally they were only going to have one concert, but because of their demand, they added two more dates. By adding these two dates Aj, Nick, Howie, Brian & Kevin broke a new record for massive concerts in Mexico, being that only stars like Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, Madonna, David Bowie, Kiss, Metallica, Santana, Ricky Martin, U2, & Rolling Stones had sold out concerts at this venue. Other stars like Michael Jackson and Gloria Estefan have had about 100,000 fans in the Aztec Stadium but a lot of the fans there got free tickets through promotions and contests ran by their record companies and publicists. They are selling like hot cakes The BSB are the first to have sold 165,000 tickets in one tour for the “Foro Sol” venue, which has a capacity for 55,000 per concert. Another interesting fact about the band and their B&B tour is the time in which the tickets were sold. Their devoted fans needed only 24 hours to have all 3 dates sold out, which is a total of 165,000 tickets sold. This is a record for the biggest city in the world Due to this record breaking news a spokesperson for Ocesa (the promoter) hinted that most likely there will another date added for March 26 being that the March 25th concert is almost sold out. If this was the case the U.S. band will have a total of 220,000 Mexicans attend 4 concerts, which is a record and success for any artist in the worlds’ biggest city. Luis Miguel is the only Mexican singer to have come close to this record when he had 200,000 fans in his concerts in 20 consecutive dates at the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium). There are very few other acts that have come close to this record. The call’s Premiere Needless to mention is that the fan frenzy caused by the creators of All I Have To Give, In The Spotlight With the Backstreet Boys y Black & Blue, whom are a very popular band with Mexicans of all ages, is really a phenomenon. Their fan had a chance to listen to the world premier of the call when they purchased their tickets. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
