MANILA — Local promoter Live Nation Philippines unveiled Tuesday the ticket prices for the upcoming solo concert of rising K-pop boy group Treasure, which drew complaints online from fans who found the fees costly.
On its social media pages, Live Nation released the ticket prices, seat plan and ticketing guidelines for the Manila leg of Treasure's "Hello" tour, set to take place at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on April 15.

The general sale starts on January 21, according to Live Nation.
Shortly after the ticketing details dropped, fans took to social media to express frustration over what they considered as pricey tickets.
As of writing, "LNPH" (Live Nation Philippines), "ANG MAHAL," "LOWER THE PRICE" and "LOWER THE HELLO TICKET PRICES" occupy the top spots on Twitter's list of trending topics as fans appealed to organizers for lower rates.
"This is frustrating, knowing that majority of us are students and yet the ticket price is not friendly," said one fan, who goes by the username @PAJISMILE on Twitter, in a tweet that has garnered hundreds of likes and retweets.
FILO-TEUMES LET'S DEMAND TO @livenationph NA GAWING CHEAPER ANG PRICE! THIS IS FRUSTRATING, KNOWING THAT MAJORITY OF US ARE STUDENTS AND YET THE TICKET PRICE IS NOT FRIENDLY🥲ANG MAHAL NG TICKET TAPOS SELLING AGAD NEXT WEEK?😭
Other fans noted how Treasure's ticket prices were more expensive than those for the concerts of more established K-pop acts like Blackpink and Seventeen.
Live Nation has yet to comment on the calls for lower prices.
Treasure's upcoming concert marks its second performance in the Philippines since debuting in 2020. The 10-piece act first played at K-pop Masterz in Manila last July 2022, alongside GOT7 members Jackson Wang and BamBam.
