MANILA, Philippines -- The website of Ticketworld suffered a temporary hiccup Wednesday morning d
ue to "too many concurrent users."
While this was not directly attributed to traffic coming from queries for the m
uch-anticipated August 30 Eraserheads reunion concert, the ticket seller said i
t is getting ready to sell concert tickets for the Eraserheads Reunion concert
within the day.
Ticketworld Systems Administrator Brenda Abela said there has been a huge volum
e of traffic in the past few days but she would not attribute it to online quer
ies for the Eraserheads.
"It may be small factor. We've been busy selling tickets for other shows," Abel
a said in an interview.
She added that they have already received around 600 Eraserheads concert ticket
requests from individuals who also leave their telephone numbers.
She said the company will be calling them up one by one regarding the tickets'
availability.
Abela did not confirm prices of the tickets yet. But information culled from lo
cal mailing lists and Facebook indicate that the prices are P2,060 for VIP and
P1,030 for back area.
Rumors of the cancellation of the Eraserheads Reunion concert circulated for th
e past days until former drummer Raimund Marasigan announced that it was pushin
g through after major changes in how tickets will be sold and who will sponsor
it.
For the past days, fans have been ranting about
the lack of details about the tickets following the changes. Originally, a ciga
rette company was reportedly behind the organization of the concert. But after
lobbying from anti-smoking advocates and pressures from the Department of Healt
h, modifications were made.
The concert would be held at the Fort Bonifacio open field in Global City in Ta
guig.
Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Marcus Adorno and Buddy Zabala formed the Erase
rheads in the late 80s but gained prominence in the early 90s. They are conside
red as the most successful Filipino rock band of the 90s, encouraging many simi
lar alternative rock bands.
Local website suffers with influx of E-heads concert ticket buyers
