Kris R Movistar Arena Bogotá: A Sold-Out First Night
Kris R announced the concert on 17 March 2026. Publimetro and El Espectador reported it that day, with presales opening the next morning.
Two presales, one for fans and one for Movistar Total customers, ran from 9 a.m. on 18 March to 8:59 a.m. on 20 March. General sale opened at 9 a.m. on 20 March.
On 27 April the promoter, Breakfast Live, wrote on Instagram that the Kris R show was “oficialmente sold out”, or officially sold out. Canal Trece and Mixradio reported the sell-out the next day.
Who Kris R Is
Kris R is the stage name of Kristian Rangel Betancur, according to Publimetro. The paper says he was born in New York and raised in Medellín.
Publimetro calls him the leading figure of “trap paisa”. Paisa is the everyday name for the people and culture of Antioquia, the region around Medellín.
Canal Trece lists “Sople” and “Las Piponas” among his best-known songs. His 2025 EP “Una Valija En Sentimiento” went platinum in Colombia, Publimetro reports.
His album “El Trap de Kolombia”, which gives the concert its name, came out on 19 March 2026, according to Mixradio. He has recorded with J Balvin, Ryan Castro, Rauw Alejandro and Anuel AA.
Colombian Urban Music Moves Into the Arenas
Kris R is one of several urban artists to sell out the Movistar Arena this year. Reykon, from Envigado beside Medellín, added a second November night after his first date sold out.
The arena has a long history of its own. It opened in 1973 as the Coliseo Cubierto El Campín and reopened in 2018 after a rebuild.
Movistar, the Colombian brand of Spain’s Telefónica, took the naming rights in 2018 for 20 years. Colombiana de Escenarios operates the venue, which holds up to 14,000 people.
For a young artist, filling a room of this size is a real step. Publimetro wrote in June that his impact was no longer only viral, but visible in ticket sales.
Ticket Prices in Pesos and Dollars
TuBoleta lists ten zones at first-stage prices. Each price is a face value plus a service charge, and the totals below include both. Dollar figures use 3,349.63 Colombian pesos per US dollar, the official rate for 29 September 2026.
Tribuna Fan Sur, a small zone of 155 places, cost COP 387,700 (about US$116). Platea, the floor area with 3,000 places, cost COP 212,100 (about US$63).
On the second tier, sections 201 to 205 and 215 to 219 cost COP 235,700 (about US$70). Sections 206–207 and 213–214 cost COP 200,300 (about US$60).
The second-tier sections listed as 208 and 212 cost COP 165,000 (about US$49). On the third tier, sections 307 to 313 cost COP 153,200 (about US$46).
Sections 303 to 306 and 314 to 317 cost COP 141,400 (about US$42). The cheapest seats, in sections listed as 302 and 308, cost COP 106,100 (about US$32).
TuBoleta warns that prices can change with demand, and that delivery costs extra. Its table counts about 11,600 places, including technical and sponsor reserves.
Rules for Minors and Entry
The minimum age is 12. Every under-18 must come with a responsible adult who holds a ticket, and one adult may bring at most two minors.
The arena has marked sections 206, 214, 306 and 314 as alcohol-free zones. TuBoleta recommends them for minors, though parents decide where their children sit.
Sections 201, 219, 301 and 319 may have a restricted view, depending on the stage set-up. The seller also says visibly pregnant women will not be admitted, following official advice.
Practical Tips for Foreigners
TuBoleta says it is the only authorised ticket operator for the show. Tickets offered on other websites sit outside that official channel.
Buyers paying with a foreign bank card face one extra step. TuBoleta hands those tickets over only at the box office, and only to the card holder.
The arena stands at Carrera 30 and Calle 63, beside the El Campín football stadium in the Teusaquillo district. TransMilenio, Bogotá’s rapid bus system, has a Movistar Arena station nearby.
Bogotá sits about 2,600 metres (8,500 feet) above sea level, so evenings are cool. A light jacket helps on the way home after a late show.
What Is Not Yet Known
No support act has been named. TuBoleta lists 8 p.m. but gives no doors time, and La Kalle radio reported a 10 p.m. start for Kris R himself.
It is unclear whether the reserved places will go on sale. Kris R also plays DaviArena in Medellín on 20 November, Publimetro reported, and no second Bogotá date has been announced.
Until then, the date, venue and entry rules on TuBoleta are the fixed points to plan around.
