Taking note of these five essential tips and tricks as you head to the Mall of Asia Arena on April 28, Saturday.


Take note of your ticket section and important times.

Make your official ticket and special access card the #1 item to have with you on D-DAY! For those in VIP Standing, bring your line-up sequence print-out as well. Proceed to VIP Standing Strapping Booths starting 9 A.M. to 3:30 P.M., present your tickets and print-out, and claim your straps prior to queuing.



Bring your EXO lightstick or pen light. 

Make the silver ocean happen and show off how much Pinoys love EXO! When the concert starts, lighten up your sticks. For fast songs, shake the stick forward and backward. For slower songs, swing the light sticks side to side.


Juice up with a fully charged powerbank

Make sure your devices are at 100% battery by bringing a powerful powerbank. You’ll be needing them not only for taking photos of the awesome performances and posting them on social media, but also for staying in touch with your eomma/ appa in case you need a ride after the concert.


Go back to basics with your camera

Professional cameras, video recording equipment, tripods, monopods/ selfie sticks, and tablets are not allowed, but make sure you have a reliable point-and-shoot for taking pictures. Even better, make do with your smartphone camera so you have less items to bring. Don’t forget to use the #GlobeKPOP and #ForTheLoveOf hashtags when posting your photos!

Refrain from bringing these prohibited items

Leave your pointed umbrellas, big bags, sharp objects, laser pointers, and oversized banners at home! These items are not allowed inside the Arena and will be confiscated once caught.
