Despite online claims that low ticket sales led to the cancellation, sources confirmed the show was nearly sold out, with only 2% of seats unsold.<\/p>\n<p>Lamar\u2019s team cited \u201cstage issues and permit issues\u201d as the reason for pulling the plug, noting the venue did not approve the use of pyrotechnics. \u201cThe show tonight was close to selling out before the show began,\u201d a source posted.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-officials-raised-red-flags-about-venue-safety\">Local Officials Raised Red Flags About Venue Safety<\/h2>\n<p>Bogot\u00e1 city councilman Jos\u00e9 Cuesta Novoa publicly criticized the venue, warning about its condition days before the concert. \u201cWe mentioned this at the Public Audience against noise,\u201d he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. \u201cThis venue has structural and technical failures in its construction. I asked the mayor @carlosfgalan for the immediate closure of this venue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Local media reported that engineers flagged the aluminum stage structures during a safety inspection. The venue reportedly denied Lamar\u2019s request to use fireworks, further complicating the production.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-technical-glitches-and-long-lines-added-to-the-chaos\">Technical Glitches and Long Lines Added to the Chaos<\/h2>\n<p>Unconfirmed reports also pointed to malfunctioning ticket scanners and long entry lines, though the main issues remained tied to the venue\u2019s infrastructure and lack of permits. The concert was part of Lamar\u2019s Latin America leg of the <a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/tag\/kendrick-lamar\">\u201cGNX\u201d tour<\/a>, which launched in Mexico and was set to continue in Brazil.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bogota-left-waiting-as-tour-moves-on\">Bogot\u00e1 Left Waiting as Tour Moves On<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no official word yet on whether Bogot\u00e1 will get a rescheduled date.
