Tickets for LeBron's Manila visit being sold online
MANILA, Philippines – Tickets to LeBron James' Rise Beyond Belief Tour at the Mall of Asia Arena are being sold on e-commerce websites.
Free tickets to the event were made available online last Friday, and were gone in less than 15 minutes.
On e-commerce website OLX, at least five people are selling their Rise Beyond Belief tickets, with some even packaging the tickets with shoes or shirts.
One person is selling two upper box tickets for P5,000, as he "won't be able to attend due to a change of schedule in work."
Another posted a picture of "extra tickets" for the tour, and is selling general admission tickets for P1,000 and upper box tickets for P2,000.
Another person is selling the tickets as part of a pack that also includes a Nike shirt -- all for P8,000.
Those who were able to reserve tickets to James' tour were given a confirmation e-mail saying they have two tickets reserved in their name, and instructions on which Nike store has their tickets.
The free ticket distribution was an improvement to the 2013 visit of James, when the NBA superstar's fans lined up outside the Nike store at Bonifacio High Street for days, braving the rains and long lines just to get their tickets.
