John Mayer Live in Manila Ticket Update
Upon finding out that John Mayer tickets started to sell, I immediately called Channel V last week for ticket reservations. I really wanted to get first dibs on the seats. Admittedly, I'm quite OC when it comes to concert seats. Especially THIS ONE, where tickets are exhorbitant!
Before the week ended, called Channel V again to check on the tickets. They said the tickets are not yet with them but Ticketworld will start selling, latest by Monday, March 22. Early Sunday morning Pao and I trooped to National Bookstore in SM North hoping to get tickets already. We were disappointed to find out that the VIP section was still on hold by the producers. To cover my bases, I reserved 2 Gold seats, left side facing the stage, just in case we could not get VIP. I had 2 days to purchase my tickets before the reservation is released.
From there we crossed the hallway and went inside the SM Department Store to check out Ticketnet since they were selling the right side tickets facing the stage (namangka sa dalawang ilog!). Still no VIP, only Gold seats. Didn't reserve though. Couldn't identify which seats were nearer to the stage because their map was in reverse and was using DOS-system. System was so outdated compared to Ticketworld. Such a turn-off!
So today, I called Ticketworld to extend my reservation. Channel V still does not have the tickets. If that's the case, I'd rather have a Gold seat that's nearer to the stage than a VIP seat that goes all the way to the back of the section. Right? So my reservation was extended until tom. But I was informed that they are only selling Silver, Bronze and GA seats. Gold seats are on hold though my reservation will still be honored since it was prior to the hold order.
Not long after my call, I received an email from Ticketworld saying that I will not be able to buy the tickets until April 3 due to the hold order. Called back Channel V and found out that they will only be the ones to sell Gold and VIP (which is now called Titanium) tickets.
This is stressing me out. I'm obsessing and Johnny's tickets are making me anal.
*Ghad!*
Why is the ticketing so disorganized? I hope Fearless Productions and Channel V fix this glitch fast!
So others won't get confused, here's where you can get tickets:
Channel V - by reservation
Titanium & Gold
Ticketworld - reservation by phone, visit any outlet or buy online
Silver, Bronze, GA - left side facing stage
Ticektnet - reservation by phone, visit outlet
Silver, Bronze, GA - right side facing stage
