Louis fans are always saying how he is so brilliant, knowledgeable, up-to-date, superinformed… and yet he cannot even recognise a Starlink launch? Re his last instagram reel (btw, proof he is in California right now, as this other pic for example has been taken in San Diego and is very similar bsky app/profile/grunteledboomer.bsky.social/post/3lucdihllps2e )

Poor Louis Dumblinson! Probably thinks it's a UFO.

Finally Louis’ South American boxscores came out and they are disastrous.

I just dug on Google and found the capacities of these venues and holy cow what are these capacities he played in those venues???? Almost all the shows he played he had downgraded the venue capacities by large numbers. And he only managed to completely sell out ONE show.

Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Mexico City - 31,562 (97.06%) (Actual Capacity - 110,000)

Estadio Vélez Sarsfield, Buenos Aires - 20,318 (72.76%) (Actual Capacity - 49,540)

Allianz Parque, São Paulo - 16,406 (77.81%) (Actual Capacity - 43,713)

Arena VFG, Guadalajara - 12,975 (99.46%$ (Actual Capacity - 15,000)

Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida, Santiago - 12,979 (50.08%) (Actual Capacity - 25,000)

Auditorio Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, Querétaro - 4,938 SOLD OUT

Coliseo Medplus, Bogotá - 5,576 (69.53%) (Actual Capacity - 24,000)

Coliseo de Puerto Rico, San Juan - 2,046 (38.19%) (Actual Capacity - 18,000)

Thanks for these! Even worse than we thought! His stans said he sold 67k tickets in the Mexico City venue but it was only 31k!

Louis' boxscores are out and wow, was I spot on!

In my last post I claimed that he hadn't actually grown his audience from his last tour, as his fans claimed, and that he repeated the same numbers instead.

This is what I said about Argentina:

Louis in Argentina had sold 25,957 tickets in 2023 "while Harry was touring. (Harry sold 123,942 tickets in the same country)." If he even repeated his 25,000 crowd I'd be shocked. But he definitely didn't grow this audience. It was as small as before, at best.

This was his box score for Argentina:

Estadio Vélez Sarsfield, Buenos Aires: 20,318 (72.76%) - $1,490,300

Bahahahha. This is what I said about Brazil:

Harry had three shows in Allianz Parque which had a combined attendance of 137,009. Each show roughly 45/46K. That is a third of that stadium. And Louis did not sell out, there were tickets available in all sections right up until the moment the show started. Louis had one show. You can see the empty seats in multiple videos on Twitter. Meaning, Louis' attendance was at best 15K. That is, once again, the same exact audience he had for his previous tour.

This was his box score for Brazil:

Allianz Parque, São Paulo: 16,406 (77.81%) - $1,299,866

This is what I said about Mexico:

The 70,000 number came from a fan and people just ran with it, particularly multiple Spanish speaking blogs who aren't very reputable. The actual attendance was 32,000. I know there's a source for this but I didn't save it, it was an official Mexican news outlet who spoke with the organizers.

This was his box score for Mexico:

Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Mexico City: 31,562 (97.06%) - $2,788,570

Genuinely shocked at my own ability to guesstimate audiences at a glance, but ANYWAY.

His fans are obviously claiming these numbers are fake, or they're just "platinum tickets" ????

Touring Data posts box scores they obtain from Pollstar, which audits concerts and gets information straight from the source. Either the artist's team or the venue. The numbers are 100% official. This is what he sold.

If they hadn't been hellbent on surpassing or matching Harry, and centering this man's life and career around his former (much more famous, much more talented) bandmate, then they'd realize that the fact that he has those audiences is a miracle that should be celebrated.

A person who cannot sing, play instruments, or compose music, refuses to dress up or make any sort of effort, doesn't learn his own lyrics, and has the charisma of a cardboard box, selling 32,000 tickets for a show is ridiculous enough.

Here's the complete list:

Mexico City (Mexico): 31,562 (97.06%) - $2,788,570

Buenos Aires (Argentina): 20,318 (72.76%) - $1,490,300

São Paulo (Brazil): 16,406 (77.81%) - $1,299,866

Guadalajara (Mexico): 12,975 (99.46%) - $1,143,498

Santiago (Chile): 12,979 (50.08%) - $829,243

Querétaro (Mexico): 4,938 (100%) - $480,594

Bogotá (Colombia): 5,576 (69.53%) - $463,305

Curitiba (Brazil): 5,379 (64.07%) - $452,919

Lima (Peru): 5,784 (90.54%) - $425,584

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil): 6,101 (80.30%) - $387,853

Montevideo (Uruguay): 2,882 (73.60%) - $343,658

San José (Costa Rica): 3,314 (48.67%) - $290,948

Panama City (Panama): 1,718 (68.80%) - $174,277

Asunción (Paraguay): 3,025 (65.12%) - $167,174

San Juan (Puerto Rico): 2,046 (38.19%) - $161,370

The percentages are off, of course, because that's the percentage of tickets sold THAT HE PUT OUT ON SALE. Not actual capacity. In actuality, those places are much, much bigger, he just reduced capacity by a bunch and put only parts of the venues on sale, and even then he could only fully sell out ONE show.

Let's look at actual venue capacity of his biggest shows, not going by Wikipedia numbers, because often those numbers are maximum-maximum and to actually achieve that you have to not have a stage or a catwalk or a sound box. I'm going to compare to other concerts in the same venue, where possible!

Mexico City, Mexico - Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez

This one is actually quite hard to find info of. It's a venue used mainly for festivals, such as Arre, Electric Daisy, Vive Latino, etc. I cannot find single concerts here. And it makes sense because Louis' wasn't a single concert, but that vanity project of his that is his "Away From Home" festival. Where it's him as the main act and two or three more random white boy bands, who are often far better than him.

Anyway, attendance to this ground goes from 70,000 to 110,000, so the idea that his 31,562 sold out 97% of tickets is absurd. It's more along the lines of 30% of capacity.

Buenos Aires, Argentina - Estadio Vélez Sarsfield

This one is easy, as I've said before, One Direction performed there in 2014. I presume he chose it as some sort of ego trip?

One Direction sold out two shows at 80,622 making attendance for each 40,311.

To be fair, let's look up other shows! Karol G did two shows in 2024, her attendance for both was 82,818, meaning 41,409 for each.

Bad Bunny did two shows in 2022, his attendance for both was 85,345, meaning 42,672 for each.

So how on earth would 20,318, what Louis sold, represent almost 73%? If we take capacity of this stadium to be 41,000 then he sold less than 50% of the total amount of tickets....

São Paulo, Brazil - Allianz parque

Harry did three shows in this stadium, totalling 137,009 tickets sold, meaning 45,669 per show.

BTS had two shows in this stadium in 2019, totalling 84,728 tickets sold, meaning 42,364 per show.

Ed Sheeran had two shows in this stadium in 2019, totalling 81,156 tickets sold, meaning 40,578 per show.

Paul McCartney had two shows in this stadium in 2019, totalling 90,384 tickets sold, meaning 45,192.

Let's average it and we get about 43,500 for capacity. So how much of that did Louis' 16,406 represent? Was it almost 78%?

No, more along the lines of 37.7%.

I'm entirely too lazy to look up the others, and most of them are rather small and the arenas are quite obscure, so less acts have performed there (honestly, I think it'd be almost impossible to find concrete info for the venues in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico), but I really wanna know what possessed this man to book these venues??

He sold the same amount or more tickets for his first tour, in much smaller venues. It makes no sense at all. Booking those stadiums/big venues is more expensive, security for those venues is more expensive, staging is more expensive, you need more man power to put the stage together and apart, you actually have to either have multiple versions of your stage to fit the different types of venues, or have a too big stage at a small venue or a too small stage at a big venue, the ambiance of the show is worse, the sound of the show is worse.

So WHY? Is it the ego trip to claim he performed there? He can't possibly be that ridiculous. He's almost 33 years old. He's losing money. For a lot of these shows, I'm willing to bet he actually, not figuratively, had a loss in terms of the cost of putting the show together vs the gross of the show itself.

His first tour in Latin America vs his second tour:

Chile:

2023 | 24,063

2024 | 12,979

Paraguay:

2023 | 5,178

2024 | 3,025

Argentina:

2023 | 25,967

2024 | 20,318

Uruguay:

2023 | 6,627

2024 | 2,882 (oof, and this was in the same venue)

Brazil:

Rio 2023 | 12,206

Rio 2024 | 6,101

Sao Paulo 2023 | 15,426

Sao Paulo 2024 | 16,406

Peru:

2023 | 13,950

2024 | 5,784

Colombia:

2023 | 10,825

2024 | 5,576

Costa Rica:

2023 | 7,302

2024 | 3,314

Puerto Rico:

2023 | 3,595

2024 | 2,046

Mexico:

Monterrey 2023 | 6,674

Queretaro 2024 | 4,938

Guadalajara 2023 | 8,004

Guadalajara 2024 | 12,975

Mexico City 2023 | 23,894

Mexico City 2024 | 31,562

I put together Monterrey and Queretaro cause they're both in Mexico and he didn't repeat cities there. He had two extra cities, one in Brazil (Curitiba 5,379 attendance) and one in Panama (1,718 attendance) comparing from his last tour.

Total amount of tickets sold in Latin America in 2023: 163,714

Total amount of tickets sold in Latin America in 2024: 135,003

This is even though the venues were bigger and he visited more cities. But I thought he was doubling, tripling his audiences? LMAO.

His gross was sliiiightly more than in 2023:

2023: 9,240,254

2024: 10,473,240

But any positive difference he may have made was most likely offset by the cost of renting those venues and putting the shows together. Plus, not to mention it has been quite the year of inflation globally.

His own fans need to stop setting him up!

This is the source for the data

I'll be back soon, god willing, to make a comprehensive post about Louis being a high school homophobic bully and his large documented history of homophobia.
