Key Facts

  • What happened. Tini plays Explanada 5 in Guatemala City on Friday October 16, doors at 19:00.
  • The catch. The cheapest tier is no longer on sale. Entry now starts at Q715 (about US$94).
  • What it costs. The top seated tier runs to Q1,490 (about US$195), fees already included.
  • Where it is. Zona 5, on the ground of the demolished Estadio del Ejército, not the hotel districts.
  • Who she is. The Argentine pop singer who played Violetta, now on her fourth and largest tour.
  • What comes next. No age rules or transport plan have been published for this show.

Tini plays Guatemala City on October 16 with Futttura, the retrospective tour she opened in Buenos Aires last year. The advertised entry price is out of date.

The listings still say tickets start at Q490. They do not, and the difference is about US$30 a head before you have booked anything else.

The Show

Tini plays Explanada 5 in Guatemala City on Friday October 16. Doors open at 19:00 and the show starts at 20:00.

The date appears on her own site, which still lists the show as on sale rather than sold out. The local promoter is CHP Guatemala.

Tickets are sold online only, through Primera Fila. The seller allows a maximum of ten tickets per purchase.

The general sale opened on April 23. A presale ran the day before.

The Price That Changed

The show was announced with tickets from Q490 to Q1,490, fees included. That range is still repeated across listings.

The cheapest tier, Gradas, is no longer active on the seller’s own page. The site now advertises entry from Q590 before fees.

That makes the real entry price Q715 all in, or about US$94. The next tiers up are Q940 (about US$123) and Q1,165 (about US$153).

The top seated tier, Sillas Black, is Q1,490 all in, or about US$195. All of those figures already include the booking fee.

Conversions use 7.635 quetzales to the US dollar, the Banco de Guatemala reference rate for September 8, 2026.

The seller offers instalments from three to twelve months on purchases above Q100. Debit and credit cards are both accepted.

What Futttura Is

Futttura is Tini’s fourth tour and the biggest thing she has attempted. It runs through every era of her career, including the Violetta material that made her famous.

It opened in October 2025 at Tecnópolis in Buenos Aires, with three stages running at once across a whole day. Those seven shows sold out and drew more than 35,000 people.

The Guatemala booking looks like a conventional single-stage night rather than that festival format. All the tiers are seated, and the show starts at 20:00.

Nothing published confirms which version travels. If the three-stage concept matters to you, ask the promoter before booking.

Who She Is, for Anyone Who Missed the Disney Years

Martina Stoessel, born in Buenos Aires in 1997, is known everywhere as Tini. She played the title role in Disney Channel’s Violetta between 2012 and 2015.

She converted that audience into a serious pop and urbano career, with hits including Miénteme, Cupido and La Triple T. Her 2025 album Un mechón de pelo was a marked change in tone.

For a foreign reader the useful comparison is scale rather than sound. In much of Latin America she fills stadiums, and in Europe she is barely known.

Most of her recent Latin American dates show as sold out on her own site. Guatemala is one of the few still selling.

The Venue Nobody Explains

Explanada 5 is not a hall inside a complex. It is an open-air esplanade at 12 Avenida and Calle Mariscal Cruz, in Zona 5.

It stands on the ground of the Estadio del Ejército, a 1950 football stadium that was demolished in late 2021. Local listings still describe it that way.

No official capacity is published. The seller’s ticketing configuration allots around 12,000 places across six categories, which is an allocation rather than an official figure.

The site now takes festivals and touring acts regularly. Yandel, Arcángel and Omar Courtz have all played there.

Zona 5 is a central working-class district, not the Zona 10 and Zona 14 hotel corridor or Cayalá. Arrange your transport before you go rather than after the show.

What Has Not Been Published

No age limit or minors policy has been issued by the seller, the promoter or the Guatemalan press. Neither has any identification requirement.

There is no published transport plan, parking arrangement or bag policy for this show. That is normal at this distance but worth checking closer to the date.

Reported door times differ between outlets, with some giving 15:00 and others 20:00. The seller’s own page says doors at 19:00, and that is the one to trust.

Her own site lists no earlier Guatemalan date, and no primary source calls this her first. It is safest to describe it as her first announced show in the country.

Where It Sits in the Tour

The Central American run came earlier: San José on September 10, San Salvador on September 12 and Panama City on September 15.

Guatemala sits a month later, between Quito on September 22 and Miami on October 18. The routing is unusual rather than wrong.

That gap has a practical upside. Guatemala is one of the few dates on the leg where tickets remain, months after the rest sold out.

It also means the production arrives from South America rather than from the neighbouring capitals. Nothing has been published about the staging that travels with it.
