Five Events That Day
On April 5th, there will be five events at different locations in the Greater Metropolitan Area:
Chayanne at the National Stadium
Shawn Mendes at Parque Viva
Rock Fest Se Baña: Teatro Auditorio Nacional
Gytian at Río Campo
Electric Animals at the Convention Center
A few days ago, Ernesto Arceyut, a producer with extensive experience in Costa Rica and the region, applauded the diversity of events for a country like ours, considered the most expensive in Latin America to produce. This is in light of the fact that for every ¢100 a person pays for their ticket, ¢33 is allocated to various taxes and fees, as detailed by Arceyut:
¢6 to the National Theater
¢5 to the municipality where the event will be held
¢6 to the Association of Composers and Musical Authors of Costa Rica (ACAM)
¢3 to Fonotica
¢13 for sales
This compares to countries like the United States (7%), Colombia (15%), and Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, which charge 15%.
Arceyut asserts that, despite this situation, Costa Rica is not only an attractive market for public performances, but has also managed to recover after the pandemic.
