The Simple Plan Santiago concert takes place on Saturday 8 May 2027 at Santander Arena, an indoor venue in Parque O’Higgins in central Santiago. The Canadian pop-punk band plays at 9 pm, and the promoter says there is no age restriction.

For US fans the Simple Plan Santiago concert is affordable: the cheapest ticket costs CLP 40,300 (about US$41) with fees. General sale opens on Friday 30 October, and the venue says Puntoticket is its only official seller.

What the Simple Plan Santiago Concert Is and Why It Matters

Simple Plan is a pop-punk band from Montreal, Canada, best known for its 2000s hit “I’m Just a Kid”. The ticket page lists the Simple Plan Santiago concert as Simple Plan Chile 2027, so the date is part of a Latin American run.

The Simple Plan Santiago concert comes two days after the band’s Lima date on Thursday 6 May. Its Brazil tour opens five days later in Rio de Janeiro, on Thursday 13 May.

Our Lima concert guide and Brazil tour guide cover those shows. The organiser named on the ticket page is LTS Servicios de Producción SpA, a Chilean production company.

Puntoticket, Chile’s main ticket seller, sells the seats and runs the presales. Fans who grew up with the band have a rare chance, because the Simple Plan Santiago concert is announced for one night only.

We found no second Chile date, and the ticket page names no support act. The section on what is not confirmed lists what else is still open.

Date, Venue and How to Get There

The ticket page gives the date as 8 May and the start as 9 pm, and 8 May 2027 falls on a Saturday. It lists no separate doors time, and the venue says it announces opening times on its official Instagram account.

The Simple Plan Santiago concert is held at Santander Arena, which sits inside Parque O’Higgins, a big public park south of the city centre. Its own web address still carries the old name Movistar Arena, so you may see either name on maps and in older posts.

On foot, the venue says pedestrians enter through the Parque O’Higgins Metro station or along Tupper street. It advises arriving early, whether you walk or drive, to avoid crowds at the gates.

Drivers need a parking ticket in advance, which the venue sells only through Puntoticket. The ticket tells you whether to enter by Avenida Viel or Avenida Tupper, and we found no published parking price.

Most US visitors land at Arturo Merino Benítez airport, west of the city. Our Santiago city page explains neighbourhoods and transport, and our Santiago November guide lists other shows this season.

Tickets, Presales and Prices in US$

The ticket page shows eight price levels, and every price includes a service fee. Platea Baja Golden costs CLP 92,000 (about US$93) and Platea Baja Silver costs CLP 69,000 (about US$70).

Cancha, the floor area in front of the stage, costs CLP 51,800 (about US$53), the same as Platea Alta Golden. Platea Alta Silver costs CLP 46,000 (about US$47), and Tribuna, the cheapest, costs CLP 40,300 (about US$41).

Banco de Chile, a Chilean bank, ran a cardholder presale with 20 percent off 1,600 tickets, and the page now marks it as sold out. The discount would have cut Tribuna to CLP 33,300 (about US$34) and Platea Baja Golden to CLP 76,000 (about US$77).

The artist presale, which began on Wednesday 28 October with four tickets per buyer, is also marked as sold out. General sale for the Simple Plan Santiago concert starts on Friday 30 October at 12 noon Chile time, with up to ten tickets per buyer.

The promoter’s own notes say there is no right of withdrawal, so a purchase cannot be refunded under Chilean consumer rules. We converted at CLP 985 per US dollar (US$1) on 29 October 2026, so your card statement will differ.

Entry Rules, Age Limits and Accessibility

The ticket page says the show has no audience restriction, and children pay from the age of 2. The venue adds that admission for minors depends on each event and its promoter, so read the conditions before you buy.

Everyone must pass a security check with metal detection, and you must carry your ticket and ID or passport. Bottles, outside food and drink, sharp objects, umbrellas, professional cameras and banners on poles are not allowed.

Inside, the venue says you will find bars and stands that sell food, drinks and snacks. It publishes no bag policy or seat count, so travel light and call +56 2 2770 2300.

The venue says it has accessible entrances, preferred areas and adapted toilets, and staff can walk guests to their seats. The ticket page sells a Universal Accessibility ticket for wheelchair users, and a companion ticket, at CLP 51,800 (about US$53) each.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors

US citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days, according to the State Department, the US foreign ministry. You receive a tourist card on arrival and must return it when you leave.

The State Department also says your passport must be valid for your whole stay and have a blank page. Tourists must show proof of at least US$46 a day, and overstays bring a fine.

The State Department’s Chile advisory is Level 2, which means exercise increased caution because of crime and civil unrest. It says street crime such as muggings and pickpocketing is common, and that demonstrations can disrupt buses and the Metro with little notice.

After the Simple Plan Santiago concert, plan your ride home before the lights come up, because thousands of fans leave at once. Use a licensed taxi or a ride-hailing car from a well-lit point, and keep your phone out of sight in the park.

The US Embassy is at Avenida Andrés Bello 2800 in Las Condes, and its number is +56 2 2330 3000. Report crimes to the local police on 133, says the State Department.

Chile’s currency is the peso, and about CLP 985 buy one US dollar at the Simple Plan Santiago concert and elsewhere. Cards are accepted at the venue’s shops and bars, but we found no published cashless policy, so carry a little cash.

What Is Not Confirmed Yet

The ticket page for the Simple Plan Santiago concert publishes no doors time, no running order and no length of set. It also names no support act, so we cannot say who opens the night.

We have not heard from the organiser, LTS Servicios de Producción, so every detail comes from the Puntoticket event page and the venue’s own pages. The band’s own tour page gave no usable confirmation of the Chile date.

We do not know how many seats Santander Arena will open for this show, or how fast the general sale will sell out. We also do not know whether the Santiago date belongs to the same tour as the Lima and Brazil shows.
