What to Expect: Reddit Users Weigh In

If you’re new to the Manila concert scene, here are some top-tier tips from Reddit users on how to survive the ticketing madness and what to expect from the crowd:

@ugkmb:
“Manila concert crowds are always top-tier energy, that’s why I picked this city to watch one of my fave groups. But ticketing? Oh boy. Do I need a local address? How early should I queue? And what are the unwritten concert etiquette rules here?”

@h0piam0ney:
“Expect chaos during ticketing. SM Tickets crashes, seats get booked in seconds, and scammers lurk. Queue on multiple devices, use different browsers, and hope the gods of ticketing bless you. Also, no need for a local address, but you’ll have to claim the physical ticket.”

@casuallyplain:
“Pro tip: Keep refreshing the page, and don’t let the CAPTCHA puzzle beat you! Sometimes seats seem unavailable, but they’re just stuck in someone else’s cart. Keep trying until they drop again. Also, familiarize yourself with the checkout process before the sale day.”

@itsmariaalyssa:
“Manila crowds are LOUD. We’re talking screaming, singing, and some serious fan energy. Get there early to avoid traffic, snag fan-made merch, and soak in the pre-show buzz. No PH address needed, just claim your ticket at an SM outlet with your ID and card.”

So, there you have it! Time to mark your calendars, plan your ticket strategy, and prepare for an unforgettable night with 2NE1!
