Sammy Sosa, whose idea to celebrate a mega benefit concert following Hurricane Georges caught on with leading contemporary Hispanic music stars Gloria Estefan and Juan Luis Guerra, promises that a second mega concert will be organized at the Santo Domingo Olympic Stadium (capacity about 45,000) for those that can’t get tickets to attend the first concert. Sammy Sosa said that his friends will participate in a benefit good-bye concert. The stars of this show were not announced, but it was said that several of the stars of the first show could repeat for the second. At the same press conference, George Nader, promoter of the 12 December Altos de Chavón concert, starring Juan Luis Guerra and 4-40, Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Carlos Ponce, Angelita Carrasco, José Antonio Molina, and Jon Secada, announced that Turinter, a major tour operator and travel agency based in Santo Domingo, is in charge of bus packages. The bus package is selling for RD$150 for the transport cost which includes a cap, beverages and snacks. The Altos de Chavón amphitheater, located in La Romana, has capacity for about 5,000 persons. Accommodations in the area are scarce as Casa de Campo, the main hotel, will not be reopening until 20 December. Tickets are selling for RD$5,000 and RD$600. They are for sale at Pizza Hut, Musicalia, and the Listin Diario. Only two tickets will be sold per person.
