The social media blew up when it was announced that that Bruno Mars will be bringing his “24K Magic World Tour” to Manila next year.

Tickets for his third Manila show on May 3, 2018 went live at 10am yesterday and was reportedly sold out in less than an hour. As expected, several tickets are already being resold by scalpers at inflated price.

The prices for Mars’ upcoming concert are between P2650 for General Admission and P23850 for VIP 1 Standing. Following the announcement of Mar’s sold out show, many have taken to social media to request for Day 2 which was granted and announced by MMI Live yesterday at 3pm. As at time of writing, day 2 is reportedly selling out and could be gone in a few hours but unlucky fans should not lose hope because some tickets will still be available due to invalid credit cards and fraud.

A quick observation at the price range shows that tickets for General Admission are now being resold at P11,000 That’s almost 4 times the original price. Meanwhile tickets for VIP are being resold between P34,000-P38.000. Is anyone desperate enough to fork out this much cash for Bruno Mars? What could the government and industry do to prevent selling of tickets at inflated prices?
