The Marc Anthony Buenos Aires concerts take place on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October 2026 at the Movistar Arena in Villa Crespo. The first night has sold out, and tickets for the second are on sale only on the arena’s official website.
The salsa star, born in New York to Puerto Rican parents, will play his biggest hits alongside newer songs. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m. local time, which is 8 p.m. in New York.
Who Marc Anthony Is and Why the Show Matters
Marc Anthony was born Marco Antonio Muñiz in New York to Puerto Rican parents, the arena’s event page says. La Nación adds that he grew up in East Harlem, the Manhattan district also known as Spanish Harlem.
His official website calls him the best-selling salsa artist of all time. Salsa is the Latin dance music that took shape in New York from Cuban and Puerto Rican roots.
The Buenos Aires nights are part of a new international tour, according to the arena and the radio network Cadena 3. MDZ, a newspaper from Mendoza, says his romantic ballads will share the spotlight with the dance numbers.
The set will run through the biggest hits of his career and newer songs, La Nación reported. Fenix Entertainment, an Argentine concert promoter, is producing both nights.
In the United States, his next listed dates are a residency at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on 20 and 21 November, his official website shows. For US fans planning a trip south, Buenos Aires comes about three weeks earlier, with tickets from about US$59.
Dates, Times and the Second Night
The first Marc Anthony Buenos Aires show is on Wednesday 28 October 2026, and the arena’s sales page marks it as sold out. The arena says it added a second show on Thursday 29 October after the first night sold out completely.
Diario Jornada, an Argentine newspaper, reported the sell-out on 20 August. Sales had opened with a presale for Banco Nación Visa credit card holders on Monday 3 August, La Nación reported.
Both nights run on the same schedule, according to the official sales page. Doors open at 7 p.m. and Marc Anthony is due on stage at 9 p.m. Buenos Aires time.
Argentina does not change its clocks, so Buenos Aires stays three hours behind UTC, the world reference time. The US is still on daylight time on 29 October, so 9 p.m. in Buenos Aires is 8 p.m. in New York.
How to Buy Marc Anthony Buenos Aires Tickets
Marc Anthony Buenos Aires tickets are sold only on movistararena.com.ar, the arena’s official website, as La Nación and MDZ reported when sales opened. Fenix Entertainment’s own website links straight to that sales page.
Marc Anthony Buenos Aires tickets start at ARS 90,000 (about US$59) plus the platform’s service fee, the arena’s sales page shows. The dollar figure uses the rate of 1,516 pesos to the US dollar on 12 October.
Buyers can take up to four tickets per purchase, and the site asks every buyer to create an account first. It lists American Express, Mastercard, Visa and the Argentine card network Cabal, plus debit versions of the last three.
The arena says its e-tickets are not personal and that no ID is checked at the door. That makes resold tickets hard to verify, so buying from the official site is the safe choice.
Peso prices and the exchange rate can both change before the show. The amount on the checkout page is the one that counts, so check it before paying.
Getting to the Movistar Arena
The Movistar Arena stands at Humboldt 450 in Villa Crespo, close to the Palermo and Chacarita neighbourhoods. It has three entrances, on Humboldt 450, Avenida Corrientes 6094 and Avenida Dorrego 489.
The arena says each seat is tied to one of those entrances, so check your ticket before you set off. Wheelchair places are sold through the arena’s support team at [email protected].
The most direct public transport link is the Subte, the city’s underground railway. The arena names Dorrego station on Line B as its nearest stop.
Two suburban train lines also serve the area, the San Martín line at Villa Crespo station and the Urquiza line at Federico Lacroze. The arena lists 21 city bus lines nearby, including the 34, 42, 55, 93 and 111.
Drivers can reserve a parking space through the arena’s show page before arriving. Leave extra time after the Marc Anthony Buenos Aires show, when thousands of fans head for the same stations.

What to Bring and What to Leave at Home
The arena’s list of banned items includes bags and backpacks, cameras, tablets, laptops and selfie sticks. Food, drinks, umbrellas and football shirts are banned too.
Mate gear, the gourd and metal straw Argentines use for their herbal tea, is also on the list. Children under three are not admitted, and under-14s must come with an adult.
Safety Tips for US Visitors
The US State Department rates Argentina at Level 1, exercise normal precautions, its lowest warning level. The advisory was issued on 10 July 2026.
It says petty crime happens at times, especially in popular tourist areas and throughout Buenos Aires. It names San Telmo, La Boca, Retiro, Palermo and Florida Street as areas with higher crime.
The department also warns that pickpocketing is common on crowded trains, buses and metro stations. That matters after a concert, when platforms near the arena fill up fast.
Keep your phone out of sight on the street, and since bags are banned inside, carry phone and cards in front pockets. Our explainer on security in Argentina covers the wider picture.
US citizens need no visa for visits of 90 days or less, according to the State Department’s Argentina page. The passport must be valid on entry, and damaged passports can lead to refusal.
Paying, Cash and Phones in Buenos Aires
The State Department says credit cards are widely accepted in Argentina and pesos can be taken from bank ATMs. It warns that daily withdrawal limits may be lower than in the United States.
Some US citizens report problems using US bank cards at certain ATMs, the department adds. Carry a second card from a different bank in case one is declined.
You must show your passport to exchange money, and the department advises using only banks, hotels and exchange offices with real storefronts. The US embassy does not change money.
A local SIM card helps with maps and ride apps on the way home. Our guide to Argentina SIM cards explains providers, prices and what foreigners need to buy one.
What Is Not Confirmed Yet
The organisers have not announced an opening act or a running order for either Marc Anthony Buenos Aires night. The arena’s page gives doors and start times but no finish time.
How many seats remain for Thursday 29 October is shown only on the arena’s sales page. The full price list by seating category also appears only there.
The arena does not say whether its site accepts every foreign-issued card. US buyers should have a backup card ready when they reach the checkout.
Neither the arena nor the promoter lists any other Argentine city for this tour. Buying only through the official seller is the safest way to avoid fake tickets.
