Olivia Rodrigo – queen of relatable AF songwriting and pop music icon – announced that she will be taking her global GUTS tour to the Philippines for the first time this coming 5 October 2024. We’re all crying, screaming, and throwing up even hours after the announcement first broke, but it’s more than the excitement of being able to see the Gen Z sensation perform live in the flesh.
Olivia Rodrigo will perform at Philippine Arena, with a capacity of 55,000 spectators.

Got class and integrity
For Olivia Rodrigo’s first-ever concert in the Philippines, the star announced that she would implementing a socialized ticket pricing scheme. The Silver Star Tickets are all priced at P1500, regardless of proximity to the stage. Users will be limited to four (4) tickets, with the seats purchased being next to each other and area assignments given at random – buyers will only find out how close they will be to the stage once they pick up their tickets.

Filipino netizens lost their collective minds and lauded the singer for her affordable pricing scheme. And because girls like Olivia know better, the singer also stated that all net proceeds made from the GUTS tour’s Philippine leg would be going to her pro-women initiative Fund 4 Good.

It’s got issues, baby
As any concert goer will tell you, ticket prices for concerts (especially those performed by international acts) can cost you the modest sum of an arm and a kidney. Having to pay more in order to get closer to the action seems like a fair deal. After all, that’s just the way tickets are priced, right? However, it does also mean that we are buying into a society and belief system that grants people who are more well-to-do with more privileges when their standing already grants them such. Not to mention the added layer of scalpers and bots afoot that give the process of even simply obtaining tickets a high threshold for entry to the average person.
Sometimes you just want to listen to your favorite singer perform your favorite songs live in the company of your favorite people. It’s a breath of fresh air for a singer to acknowledge that, just because a fan is not a person of means, does not diminish their love of your music. That’s all that would matter in an ideal world. We can only hope that Olivia Rodrigo’s Silver Star Ticket system is something that other acts will consider for their own ticket pricing strategies in the future.
Can’t think of a third subheader
Sales for the GUTS tour’s Manila show open this Saturday (14 September) at 10AM. We know we’ll be waiting in line to see if we get our Silver Stars. And may the luck of the draw be with you.
