JUANES Is The First Latin Artist To Sell Premium Charitable Tickets With Innovative Ticketing CompanyCrowdSurge

Latin Music Superstar Juanes is getting ready to bring his Loco de Amor tour to Mexico starting October 15th, and for the first time ever, he is selling exclusive presale concert tickets directly to fans on his official website www.juanes.net. In partnership with the innovative ticketing company CrowdSurge, the multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy winning artist is using this opportunity to further strengthen his direct fan engagement and further support the acclaimed philanthropic work of his Fundacion Mi Sangre.

This exclusive presale, running now through August7th, will see a portion of proceeds from each ticket sold donated to Fundacion Mi Sangre, the heralded NGO founded by Juanes in 2006. A limited number of premium seats have also been allocated to Fundacion Mi Sangre and a large portion of the proceeds from these ticket sales will likewise go directly to the charity.

Juanes‘ Loco de Amor Tour will see the Colombian Rock star taking to the road from now through 2015 in support if his recent chart-topping and already platinum new album “Loco De Amor” – produced in tandem with famed rock producer Steve Lillywhite.  Released in March, “Loco De Amor” has already been declared“One of the Five Best Albums of 2014 so far” by PEOPLE Magazine, saying it “is one of the best records out now in any tongue… Juanes has never sounded better.” Likewise, the New York Times welcomed the release as a “Latin pop blockbuster …a euphoric, melodic romp across the hemisphere.” 

CrowdSurge empowers artists, brands and event owners with the ticketing technology and marketing solutions they need to sell tickets directly to consumers through their owned and operated properties. By innovating on top of the strongest business arm of today’s music landscape — live concerts and touring — the company has allowed rights-holders such as Paul McCartney, Blake Shelton, Imagine Dragons and Alicia Keys to take better control of their one-to-one connections with consumers by providing them with the tools and intelligence they need to strategically grow their businesses and expand ticket sales. At present, there is no other company that offers our services in the global market.

Founded in Colombia by international superstar Juanes, Fundacion Mi Sangre, is a non-profit organization which promotes youth empowerment and positive social change, using music and art as the tools for creating visible, lasting social transformation. Mi Sangre’s participatory methodology strengthens the leadership skills of children, teenagers and youth and allows them to become active agents of change in their community.    Since 2006, over 67,000 lives have been affected by the foundation’s programs.
