How the draw works
According to the BAYO FAQ, fans enter on bayotour.com for a chance to win, and each winner gets two tickets. Winners are notified by email; no entry deadline has been published yet. The show is open to all ages, the lineup is kept secret, as is BAYO tradition, and the address is 262 NE 61st Street in Little Haiti.
Organisers expect around 7,500 people, the biggest BAYO in Little Haiti so far, and say more than half of the tickets are set aside for Florida residents and Haitian community members, reports FrontView Magazine. A vendor village will feature Haitian and Caribbean food and art.
A partnership with one of gaming's biggest names
Rockstar Games is the studio behind Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, two of the best-selling franchises in video game history. Its next title, Grand Theft Auto VI, comes out on November 19, three days before the show, and is set in Vice City, Rockstar's version of Miami. The GTA VI logo appears on the BAYO flyer, and the event is part of a wave of Rockstar promotions across the city, from Miami Beach to Little Haiti, according to Axios Miami.
For a Haitian cultural event, a partnership at that level is rare. It puts Haitian culture in front of one of the largest entertainment launches of the year, and lets the community attend for free.
Powered by TicketPaw
The sign-up and draw run on TicketPaw, a new ticketing platform built for Haitian and Caribbean events: festivals, concerts, fairs and club nights. TicketPaw is still in private beta, working with a small group of organisers before it opens to the public. Handling registrations for an event of this size is an early test for the start-up.
A 10-year story
Michaël Brun started BAYO in Haiti in 2016 as a celebration of Haitian culture and its diaspora; the name means "to give" in Kreyòl. The anniversary year has already taken it to Boston's Agganis Arena and three sold-out nights at the Brooklyn Paramount. "I'm so proud to be bringing BAYO back to Little Haiti for our biggest show ever on November 22nd," Brun said.
