Who Jay Wheeler Is

Jay Wheeler is a Puerto Rican singer whom the tour announcement describes as one of the leading artists in urban Latin music today. His song “De Lejitos” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts and No. 7 on its Hot Latin Songs chart.

The announcement says “De Lejitos” spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Hot Latin Songs Top 10 and holds a Latin Platinum certification from the RIAA, the US recording industry body. Counting a remix with Omar Courtz, the song has passed 229 million streams, and the tour set also includes earlier hits such as “Fuga” and “Refe 1”.

The La Voz Favorita World Tour

The tour is produced by Dynamic Records, Jay Wheeler’s own label, with AUL Worldwide and the US talent agency UTA, and it is built around his latest studio album. It opens in Tenerife, Spain, on 4 December 2026 and ends its European leg at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on 19 December.

In March and April 2027 the tour crosses the United States, with stops including Miami, Atlanta, Washington, Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Orlando. The Latin American leg runs from April to June 2027 and takes in Quito, Lima, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Bogotá and Santo Domingo, among other cities.

In Chile the show is produced by Multimusica, the local promoter named on the ticket page. Puntoticket lists a single Santiago date, and no second show has been announced.

Tickets and Prices in Pesos and Dollars

Puntoticket lists six main sectors, and every price below includes its 15 percent service charge. Tribuna costs 40,250 pesos (about US$41) and Platea Alta 51,750 pesos (about US$53).

Cancha, the floor area, costs 74,750 pesos (about US$76), while Platea Baja Silver costs 86,250 pesos (about US$88). Platea Baja Golden costs 97,750 pesos (about US$99) and Cancha VIP, the VIP floor area, 120,750 pesos (about US$123).

Wheelchair users and their companions each pay 51,750 pesos (about US$53) in a dedicated sector with limited stock. The arena warns that Puntoticket is its only official seller and that neither the venue nor the promoters can help with tickets bought elsewhere.

The presale opens on Tuesday 20 October 2026 at 11 a.m. Santiago time, which is 10 a.m. US Eastern time. The general sale follows on Wednesday 21 October at 11 a.m., or earlier if the presale allocation sells out first.

Santander Arena and How to Get There

Santander Arena is the domed indoor arena at Parque O’Higgins in Santiago, formerly known as Movistar Arena. Pedestrians enter from the Parque O’Higgins side, next to the Metro station of the same name, or from Calle Tupper.

Cars can enter only with a parking ticket bought in advance through Puntoticket, using Avenida Viel or Avenida Tupper as the ticket shows. The arena posts door times for each show on its official Instagram account, so check there in the days before 22 May.

Bottles, food and drinks, sharp objects, umbrellas, professional cameras and banners on poles are not allowed inside. Every visitor passes a security check with metal detectors, and smoking and vaping are banned inside the building.

What It Means for You

US citizens need no visa for tourist stays of 90 days or less, according to the US State Department’s page on Chile. The passport must be valid on arrival and for the whole stay, with one blank page for each entry stamp.

The State Department rates Chile at Level 2, exercise increased caution, so keep phones and wallets out of sight around the park after the show. Check the Metro’s Saturday closing time before relying on it after a 9 p.m. start, or plan on a ride-hailing app or taxi back to Providencia or Las Condes.

The arena asks for the printed or digital ticket together with an identity card or passport at the door, so foreign visitors should carry their passport. Children under three are not admitted, everyone aged three and over needs a ticket, and under-15s must come with an adult.

In late May Santiago runs on the same clock as New York, because Chile is on winter time while the US East Coast is on daylight saving time. Late May is also autumn in Santiago, so evenings are cool and a jacket helps for the walk through the park.

What Is Not Known

Puntoticket does not say who can buy in the 20 October presale, for example whether it is tied to a bank card or a fan list. No support act and no door time have been published yet.

It is not clear whether a second Santiago date will be added if the first sells out. The setlist and the length of the show have not been announced either.
