A statement was later released on the matter, along with the status of the ticket.The statement released by Live Nation read, “Due to adverse weather conditions, including thunderstorms and hail, tonight’s Bad Bunny concert at the Ippodromo SNAI La Maura in Milan has been interrupted and the venue has been safely evacuated.

Netizens expressed their anger online
When the news came out that the concert will not be rescheduled, many fans and netizens took to social media to express their anger at the situation. Many people commented that while the weather conditions are out of control, it would be unfair not to reschedule the event once the conditions improve.One person commented, “Do you realize that some people wait all year for this concert and even travel from other countries to attend? Not rescheduling the show is extremely disappointing and honestly unacceptable”, while another fan commented, “This was not expected from Bad Bunny…”Another netizen expressed their disappointment over the matter and wrote, “It’s a shame, really, that they don’t put on more concerts for them.”, while a third person shared, “This thing is not good. First of all, because the organization has to provide for a possible postponement for any reason (sickness, bad weather, etc.), and then because there are people who wait 1 year and come from all over Italy to see it. The refund is okay, but it’s not enough.” Another social media user commented, “It’s not handled well and now this? The concert should be rescheduled why didn’t they do it. “The Puerto Rican singer is touring places around the world for her ‘Debà Tirar Más Fotos World Tour.’
