And some advice ...bring comfy shoes, bogota is a tropical city so in the same day you can have all seasons, so bring parkas as well!! usually the venues dont let us bring belts in and no cigars sometimes we can manage to buy cigars and drinks inside...." (Thanks Bianca)

Mexico City ticket help?

With the Mexico City tickets going on pre-sale next Monday, only being available to Banamex card holders, and the problem of needing to pick up tickets 48 hours before the show (and no ticketfast option without a Mexican address), fans outside of Mexico could use some help. Is anyone willing to buy extra tickets during the pre-sale? Or offer any other way of getting the tickets and picking them up the day of the show? If you can help, or need help, please post in the comments section. Or if you can't, just email me and I'll post it for you. Thanks!

Help with tickets for Brasil?

Can anyone help Pablo with this? Thanks!
"I'm from Uruguay, and i wanna go to the Brazilian show in Morumbi. As you know, those tickets are gonna be sold by livepass.com.br 
The thing is, i tried to register in that site, and it wouldn't allow me! It asks for a CPF, that is like a brazilian Social security number.
Could you ask in COF for help registering in that site? Maybe i didn't see a link for international customers or something? Maybe there's some way to bypass that?
Curiously, i did register in livepass.com.ar (The argentinian site) and i'm ready to buy tickets for the Bs As show, so if anybody needs help, let me know."
