I was following the ticket sales of Phyto Science Production of Alden Richards concert when it was announced earlier this year but for some reason I lost track of it. The Concert dubbed as ‘Sa Totoong buhay Naman‘ was originally slated on January 16, 2016 but later moved to February 20, 2016 at the Philippine Arena which has a 55,000 seating capacity.
Philippine Arena was the same Venue when Eat bulaga staged the Tamang Panahon saturday special. Here is the Teaser of the supposedly CONCERT of Eat Bulaga’s Bae:
This Alden Richards concert was also the date of James Reid and Nadine Lustre concert last night at the Araneta Coliseum. The venue turned pinkish-maroon ocean as fans went on with their light sticks upon entrance. This is the second time a Philippine concert venue was filled with FULL bright lights on a dim exposure. The first one was during Sarah Geronimo concert last year.

According to Philippine Daily inquirer in a similar article about the cancelled Alden Richards concert and I quote, the cancellation “the producer’s decision and that only 74 tickets were sold.”
There were rumors and writeups from broadsheets that Alden Richards concert in various location as such as Dubai and Doha were not received favourably in terms of ticket sales.
Thoughts?
Well, hindi naman po si Alden ang main performer sa concert na iyon. However, one reason why he’s included in the lineup of guests is to increase ticket sales. It’s somehow bothering din na walang gustong tumangkilik sabihin man nating kulang sa promo. Sana hindi ito umpisa ng reaction ng mga nadidismayang fans sa kanya. Ibang iba kasi ang pakikitungo nya sa kaLT nya offcam and onCam. Lagi pa siyang napapansing nang-iiwan ng kaLT sa mga events na magkasama sila. Nasasaktan ang fans dahil parang ikinahihiya ba nya ang kaLT nya? Aba, may pinag-aralan po si Maine at hindi basta basta. Hindi naman sa masyadong possessive ang fans, kundi sabihin na nating respeto lang. Ilang beses ka na ipinagtatanggol ng kaLT mo di ba? Kahit obvious naman ang pangdededma mo. Nakakainis kasi sa isang aktor na OA sa pagkagentleman lang pag may nanonood at sa harap ng camera. Kung inconsistent siya e maaaring ganun din ang ugàli. Although marami naman ang super bilib na mabuti siyang tao… well, nakàkalito ang kabaitan na iyan kung may naiinsulto kang tao lalo na kaLT mo pa. Sabi nga sa isang article: “who was Alden Richards before Maine Mendoza came along?” Eto na naman, pagnaglabas ng hinanakit, nambabash agad? Maraming sumusuporta na fans kapag nakikita ang TOTOONG PAGGALANG mula sa kaLT. Marami naman ang nasasaktan at nadidismaya kung patuloy ka magiging PASHOWBIZ… masyadong obvious ka kasi nakukumpirma pagOffcam na. Sana lang makahanap na ng karapatdapat na kaLT yung bibigyan siya ng importansiya at paggalang, yung ipagmàmalaki siya.
What goes around, comes around.
During our exclusive meet and greet with him, he always mentioned Maine although we didnt bring her up in the convo. Truth to be told when he went to Dubai, he left his heart in Manila 🙂
eh kasi fake eh. bakla ata hhaha
This is not true. It was not cancelled, only postponed and rescheduled since the organizers want to include Maine Mendoza in the said concert for popular demand. And this is not Alden Richards’ concert, he’s only a guest. It is a benefit concert, a charity event.
I was one of the concert goers in Dubai. Know your facts first. Dubai Tennis Stadium has 6,000 seating capacity but only 4,000 were given for the concert. Before you say it’s a failure, please know that the concert producers are forced to add more VVIP and PLATINUM seats which cost AED 295 /AED 195 respectively or PHP 4000/ PHP 2500 because most of the concert goers who can afford to pay want to get the best seats. And by the way, a lot of people paid AED 200 or PHP 2400 extra for the meet and greet. 🙂
16,500 po ang seating capacity ng araneta. Kapag walang maayos na promotion ay talagang flop ang kahit anong event. The question is anong ginawa ng promoter. Pakibalik na lang po ang pera ng mga bumili ng ticket sa ph arena kung di nyo na nais ituloy.
