Title: Fans Brave the Cold and Fog to Meet ‘Operación Triunfo’ Contestants at Expo Palace
Introduction:
Despite the freezing temperatures and foggy weather, fans of the popular TV show ‘Operación Triunfo’ were undeterred. The Expo Palace of Congresses was filled with eager fans lining up early in the morning to be the first ones to meet three of the contestants: Juanjo, Naiara, and Álvaro. Some fans even spent the night outside, while others arrived in the early hours. By 6 am, two long queues had formed, stretching several hundred meters. One queue led towards the Torre del Agua, while the other descended from the Palace of Congresses to the parking lot of Parque del Agua.
The Excitement Builds:
The doors wouldn’t open until 10 am, and it was anticipated that the number of attendees would continue to increase during this time, as fans from different parts of Spain had also arrived. Among the early birds were fans who had traveled from Catalonia, Valencia, and the Basque Country. The event organizers were working to keep the young fans informed and ensure that the wait went smoothly.
The Hunt for ‘Operación Triunfo’ Discs:
On the previous day, many fans had also braved the fog as they waited in front of the Fnac store in Plaza España, Zaragoza, before it opened, hoping to get their hands on a copy of the ‘Operación Triunfo’ album. However, Fnac Spain announced on Twitter that the discs had sold out on their website and app. Only a limited number of editions were available in some physical stores, including the Fnac store in Plaza España, Zaragoza.
The Album Signing Event:
During the album signing event on Saturday, the two contestants from Zaragoza, Juanjo and Naiara, along with Álvaro Mayo, were ready to receive the love and support of their fans. To get an autograph from the ‘triunfitos,’ fans were required to purchase the ‘Operación Triunfo 2023. Lo mejor Parte 1’ album (priced at 15.99 euros), which includes 25 songs performed on the show, such as ‘Libertad,’ ‘Padam, padam,’ and ‘Inmortal.’
The Frustration of Missing Out:
The long queues, frustrations, and eagerness to get hold of one of the limited albums for sale were the reasons behind the fans’ dedication. Unfortunately, those who were unable to secure a copy of the album would not have the chance to meet their idols on that Saturday.
Conclusion:
Despite the cold and foggy conditions, fans of ‘Operación Triunfo’ showed their dedication by lining up early in the morning at the Expo Palace of Congresses. The excitement and anticipation were palpable as fans eagerly waited to meet their favorite contestants. While some were fortunate enough to secure a copy of the album and receive an autograph, others were left disappointed.
