A few months from now, Coldplay will conquer Manila with a one-night concert on April 4 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.
Countless Filipino netizens shared their joy upon hearing that their favorite British band is finally delivering live music at their doorstep.
However, many others felt sorrow after checking out the VIP ticket price, a steep P22,500.

If begging and praying for a lotto jackpot is not a plausible idea, selling a kidney would be another option. Several Twitter users, including the mean Senyora Santibañez, offered to sell their organs for the costly Coldplay ticket.

Looks like two Twitter users already foresaw President Rodrigo Duterte and his administration’s priceless reaction if Coldplay decides to perform their 2000 groundbreaking song “Yellow.”

BREAKING: President Duterte bans the hit song "Yellow" from being sung in the Coldplay concert because of its 'biased' and 'bayaran' nature

Anyway, Coldplay is finally touring the country and many are thrilled to see them turn the concert grounds into an “Adventure of a Lifetime,” “Paradise” and “A Sky Full of Stars.” Gianna Francesca Catolico
