As Bad Bunny residency ends, young concertgoers praise its massive boost to Puerto Rico

Outside one of the final shows, small vendors marveled at their earnings as fans appreciated concert prices that didn't "gouge" and how the star has put Puerto Rico "on the map."

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — During every concert since Bad Bunny began his sold-out, 30-date residency in July, Véronica López has been selling hand-held fans outside of San Juan’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum.

According to López, she’s earned about $5,000 each night from her fans, splashed with designs inspired by the island and Bad Bunny’s newest album, “Debí Tirar Mas Fotos.”

“I’ve been here since it started. Each time, we increase sales because the clients aren’t only people who are going to the concert but also people who are coming to hang out beforehand — it doesn’t stop,” said López, who’s using profits to help stray animals.

As the historic residency, titled “No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí” or “I don’t want to leave here,” comes to a close this weekend, López is just one of the thousands of Puerto Ricans who have benefited from the estimated nearly $200 million in tourism revenue generated from visitors flocking to the island for Bad Bunny’s concerts.
