Vasco Rossi beaten by a Croatian singer for tickets sold

A Croatian singer is ready to beat Vasco Rossi for the record for the largest number of tickets sold for a single concert in the history of music.

Marko Perković, known by the name of art Thompson, planned to enter the record books on July 5th with a concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome. 281,774 tickets have already been sold for his show in the hippodrome of the Croatian capital, which extends over a huge surface of 47 hectares. Tickets for the show went completely exhausted on the first day of sale on March 28th. According to IQ, 130.000biglietti had already been purchased in the first six hours. Thompson’s show will then overcome the turnout record at the Zagreb Hippodrome, currently detained by the Rolling Stones, who in 1998 had gathered 80,000 spectators in the same place during their “Bridges to Babylon Tour”.

In addition, the concert will far beat the world record for the paid show with the most spectators, held by the Italian musician Vasco Rossi, who in 2017 had sold 225,173 tickets for his concert at the Enzo Ferrari park in Modena.

According to some rumors, Thompson and his team would be in negotiations with the Zagreb authorities to organize a second concert on the following evening, in order to satisfy the huge request for tickets. The company responsible for the sale of Thompson tickets, Entrio, said she was “extremely proud” of its team for having managed “one of the most complex sales sales for a single concert in the world”.

He added: “The Entrio engineers team worked for almost 30 consecutive hours, during an unprecedented influx of fans who tried to buy tickets, to optimize the server infrastructure, resolve numerous technical challenges, maximize sales, reject three powerful hackers and guarantee the regular performance of hundreds of other events that we were simultaneously selling in three markets”.
