Local website suffers with influx of E-heads concert ticket

MANILA, Philippines -- The website of Ticketworld suffered a temporary hiccup Wednesday morning due to "too many concurrent users."

While this was not directly attributed to traffic coming from queries for the August 30 Eraserheads reunion concert, the ticket seller said it is getting ready to sell concert tickets for the concert within the day.

Ticketworld Systems Administrator Brenda Abela said there has been a huge volume of traffic in the past few days but she would not attribute it to online queries for the Eraserheads.

"It may be small factor. We've been busy selling tickets for other shows," Abela 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 yet confirm prices of the tickets yet. But information culled from local 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 the past days until former drummer Raimund Marasigan announced that it was pushing 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 cigarette company was reportedly behind the organization of the concert. But after lobbying from anti-smoking advocates and pressures from the Department of Health, modifications were made.

The concert would be held at the Fort Bonifacio open field in Global City in Taguig.

Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Marcus Adorno and Buddy Zabala formed the Eraserheads in the late 80s but gained prominence in the early 90s. They are considered as the most successful Filipino rock band of the 90s, encouraging many similar alternative rock bands.
