Many of the fans spent Thursday night at the SM Mall of Asia to wait for their turn to buy tickets, the most expensive of which cost nearly P18,000, GMA News' Athena Imperial reported.
As of 5:44 a.m. Friday, GMA News' Imperial tweeted a photo showing many of the fans bringing their own sleeping mats and waiting for the opening of the ticket booths at 8 a.m. Friday.
In her report on "Unang Balita," Imperial said many of the band's fans showed up at the MOA grounds as early as Thursday to get a chance to buy tickets. The crowd had a picnic atmosphere, with some bringing pillows and fans, and their own food and drinks.
Many entertained themselves playing games on tablets while some engaged in cross-stitching.
Some of the fans said they could afford to buy the VIP tickets worth P17,950 each because it was a "gift" from their parents for their academic achievements. Others said the tickets were a gift for their debuts.
The lowest-priced tickets for the concert sold for P1,150. The concert is slated March 21 next year.
One Direction includes Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. —Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
