There's no denying how popular One Direction is in the Philippines. As a matter of fact, many had shared their stories in a local TV show titled "Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho" about their struggles just to get their hands on these 'precious' tickets. A teenage girl sold her Mac Book Pro for the same price of the VIP ticket (P17,950) and another promised her parents that she will be the top 1 in her class in the upcoming school year just to be able to watch this concert.
It is very interesting to see these teenagers go the distance for this band and there are definitely more fascinating stories out there. But what if the ticket demand for the second concert is still that high and gets sold out quickly? Will a third and last concert finally do the trick? For the meantime, fans will just have to stay tuned.
One Direction's concerts are now set for March 21 and 22, 2015 at the SM Mall of Asia grounds.
There was a massive turnout when ticket booths opened last Friday, as fans showed up at the MOA grounds as early as Thursday, some of them even bringing pillows, fans, food, and drinks. According to an earlier report by GMA News' Athena Imperial, tickets sold out quickly, including VIP tickets worth P17,950.
