On January 24, 2022, Bad Bunny announced his upcoming stadium tour and album to be released sometime of that year via social media.

[9] Initially, the first announcement of the tour was composed of 29 dates in total, including 17 in the United States in stadiums.

[10] Following the announcement, six more shows were added due the high demand of the tickets, including second dates on in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas.

[16] In Mexico City only, it is estimated that approximately 4.5 millions of fans queued to purchase one of the 115,000 tickets officially available, making it the concert tour with the biggest demand in the history of the country.

[19] In total, the World's Hottest Tour grossed $232.5 million and sold 944,000 tickets from just 21 shows in the U.S[20] Prior to the first show in Mexico City, on December 9, 2022, what appeared to be a massive overselling of tickets through Ticketmaster caused many fans to be denied entry the day of the concert.

Ticketmaster México claimed that an "unprecedented" number of counterfeit tickets were sold, which led to online overcrowding of the server and a subsequent crash of the operating system; consequentially, this fiasco delayed entrance to the venue for legitimate ticket-holders.
