 D-Day of ticket selling:
I only tried to visit SM Tickets site last November 19 whilst on break at work, not knowing that there is Live Nation PH presale for the Blackpink Born Pink tickets. I used my friend's SM Ticket account since the credit card that we will be using is her card. I am supposed to buy tickets during public sale last November 20. I can choose different tickets and seats at that time but the only ticket we can afford and want is the ubc regular. Lucky enough I was able to secure 4 ubc regular tickets during LNPH presale. 








Felt so anxious about the ticket selling and I can't even imagine that I was able to get our tickets since the site was kept queueing. And I checked the site last November 20 during public sale. I am really glad that I tried to purchase the tickets during LNPH presale because the online site on the day of public sale was kept crashing and as far as I know none of the blinks were able to secure tickets online so they went to SM Tickets outlet.

 D-day of concert: 
We all know that the venue of the concert is on Philippine Arena so I tried to look for a carpool that's coming from Bulacan (near our area). Luckily, I found one on twitter and I immediately reserve my seat. On the day of the concert, I left the house 12:30PM and arrived at the venue at around 2:00PM. Some of my friends are already waiting for me outside the arena since the start of the queueing to go inside was around 5:00PM (it's the time that I remember so please bear with me haha). It was scorching hot when we are outside the venue so we ended up just sitting on some grass.

At around 6:00PM we got inside the concert venue but we won't able to buy foods inside because the line is so overwhelming so we decided to just buy some water and head on to our dedicated seats. The show started at 7:15PM and lasted for two hours. The show was done by 9:15PM.


Here are the setlist from their concert last March 25:

- How You Like That
- Pretty Savage
- Whistle
- Don't Know What To Do
- Lovesick Girls
- Kill This Love
- Crazy Over You
- Playing With Fire
- Tally
- Pink Venom

- SOLO (Jisoo) "Liar"
SOLO (Jennie) "You And Me"
- SOLO (Rosé) "Hard To Love / On The Ground"
- SOLO (Lisa) "Lalisa / Money"

- Shut Down
- Typa Girl
- Ddu-Du Ddu-Du
- Forever Young

ENCORE
- Yeah Yeah Yeah
- Stay
- As If It's Your Last


We had so much fun and we did enjoy the concert. I hope when they come back here we are on the VIP section so it'll be more exciting. See you again, Blackpink!



To be honest, I'm not satisfied with Live Nation PH on how they handle the ticket selling or even the queueing on the venue of the concert  unlike other who manages concerts here in the Philippines. So I hope when they handle famous artists they already know what to do by now.

IU Love Poem In Manila | Getting Ticket Online & Concert Experience

December 21, 2019




It was September 23rd when IU announced the dates of her international tour 2019 which is "Love Poem".
Please see photo below:
What: 2019 IU Tour Concert Love Poem
When: December 13, 2019
Where: Smart Araneta Coliseum (The Big Dome)
Time: 7:00PM

Ticket Selling: November 17, 2019 | 12:00NN

The day of ticket selling:

I waited for almost 2hours at the ticketnet site to open.
But the site doesn't cooperate, it was always crashing when I opened it on laptop but I opened the site also on my phone and luckily I was able to go through the site (choosing seats).






The feeling was surreal. I can't even imagine that I can get ticket since the site was a bit crashing (ticketnet.com.ph). Thanks for my fast internet at home (shoutout to Converge! LOL). The ticket that I bought were 2 Box B.
And this announcement makes me happy. Good job Ma-aenas!❤️




Let’s get it started because I'm too excited to share my experience with you guys.

♡ 

The day before of concert:
My friend took a picture of me with the concert tour banner of IU. She told me that "you won't be able to get a picture tomorrow because of the crowded people." And she was right then. Thanks for that girl! 





♡ 

The day of concert: Actually I was near the venue around 5:30PM I guess. I've waited for my companion at Bonchon since I need to eat first 'coz I was a bit hungry that time because of my travel time from Bulacan to Cubao.
At around 6:30PM we got inside the concert venue and as long as you have reserved seat you can get inside in no time. 
By then the concert starts at exactly 7:10PM.



Thank you for the banners IU Phils. xoxo!




The concert lasted for almost 4hrs (+) and we are still in awe. This has been IU's first concert in Manila and she did a great job. It was a fulfilling and one of the most memorable concert experience that I've watched. Even though I'm not a fan since IU started and the number of songs that I know was just a little, I didn't think nor expect that I will enjoy the night.







 It was amazing! Thank you for a great night indeed, IU! Please come back in Manila soon! 

Thank you also to my concert buddy! My eonni in the office! xoxo

Park Seo Jun Fun Meet For Bench



OMG! By the time BENCH announced that Park Seo Jun was the new global ambassador for bench and will come to Manila for a fun meet, I feel the happiness and excitement at the same time. 

I've been having crush with Seo Joon oppa since "Fight for My Way" days. I've watched him first at Hwarang but then I fully loved him as " Ko Dongman". After that, I watched some of his dramas like "She was Pretty" and also his recent drama, "What's wrong with Secretary Kim" and also his recent movie "The Divine Fury".
What a coincidence, I also like Kim Taehyung (BTS) and Seo Joon oppa is one of his close "hyung" since they are both in the same drama "Hwarang" and they hangout together like most of the time.

Okay, enough of that.
It was a struggle getting fun meet invite. 
Actually it was announced ahead of time that the start of giving out of invites was September 18 but we decided to buy on September 19. We just want to get upper box invites since the view from there was good enough but out of luck it was so hard to find because most of all the branches of Bench that we've visited told us that upper box invites were already sold-out.



The first branch that we visited was at Trinoma, next was on SM North, and then Vertis North but still we wasn't able to get the invite that we need, they are always saying that they only have lower box invites (sorry, our budget was too tight and we can only afford the upper box).
So we decide to go at Gateway mall branch and it only turns out that they only have lower box invites (we've started losing hope in this kind of situation). After Gateway we also decided to go to Ali Mall but out of luck also they don't have any invites at all, it was already sold out. The last option was on Farmers branch but no more invites again (sold-out), and by then "kuya" told us that we might want to check Robinsons Place Magnolia because they heard that the branch still have invites. Luckily and finally, out of all the 7 branches that we visited, this one have general admission and lower box invites, so instead of having upper box since most of the branches don't have this, so we choose to have the general admission invites for the 3 of us.



It was a tiring day indeed! Never ever forget that day!

Watch my vlog about getting invites for Park Seo Jun Fun Meet:

☆ D-DAY:
It was my rest day so I'm so happy and grateful. LOL!
Actually it was my first time to attend fun meet / meet & greet and I want to have great memories with that even though we only have a gen. ad invites but still thankful and happy!







Photo session before going to MOA Arena.

And now, at the venue there's this standee and banner so we took advantage and got some photos.

Twinning with my bibi Seo Joon oppa ❤️


Inside the venue, more more photos:







We really enjoyed the show and how Seo Joon reacts with the loud voices of the crowd. He really looks so cute! My bibi! ❤️

He was so cute even when throwing freebies at the audience

He also re-enact his aegyo scene in Fight for my Way

Thank you for coming in the Philippines, Park Seo Joon! We will definitely want to see you again so soon!
Also a big thanks to BENCH for bringing Seo Joon oppa here. xoxo!

After the fun meet, we saw this handsome boys on the wall so we took photos as usual, fan girling mode on. LOL!

IKON Continue Tour 2018 in Manila


Super late post for this IKON concert blog.
I'm so sorry for that. *peace*
PS: This blog was mostly photos from the concert! *peace again*


What: 2018 IKON Continue Tour in Manila
When: November 11, 2018
Where: Mall of Asia Arena
Time: 7:00PM





As usual, getting ticket for a KPOP concert was so hard just like what happened to me on the ticket selling of BTS concert last 2017.
But then, I managed to score tickets online (SMTickets) even the site does not cooperate and forever as always crashing.





And hooray for that, I bought upper box tickets for me and my friend. Thanks for the fast internet connection (SMART! LOL)!


The day of concert:

We arrived at the venue earlier as always. We claimed our tickets on the day of the concert and got some freebies (weeeee!!). 




And then we ate at fast food chain  'coz we don't want to be hungry while enjoying the concert.
After that we go straight to the arena and wait for 7:00PM.


I was so mesmerized by their performances. I'm glad I was able to watch their first concert here in the Philippines.
They performed almost all of their songs with their hearts full of happiness and energy.  Ikonics really enjoyed the night like me! I really can't put what I have felt that night into words and this was 2nd kpop concert that I have attended. 



Thank you IKON! I hope you come back here in the Philippines real soon!
We, IKONICS are waiting for you guys!







Thank you eonni for being a concert buddy as always!
