The Philippine Arena, located in Bocaue, Bulacan, is the largest indoor arena in the world, but it is quite far from Metro Manila. Traffic after a major event can be overwhelming, so booking nearby accommodation ensures you rest well instead of being stuck on the road for hours.

To make the most out of your SB19 concert experience, here are some must-know tips:
Arrive early: Gates usually open hours before showtime. Arriving early gives you time to secure your spot, explore the venue, and avoid last-minute rush.
Dress comfortably: The Philippine Arena is massive, and you’ll be walking a lot. Wear comfy shoes and breathable clothing. If you’re bringing a light stick, check if the batteries are fully charged!
Bring essentials only: Most venues have a bag size limit. Bring just the essentials: tickets, ID, wallet, phone, power bank, and a water bottle (if allowed).
Arrange transport in advance: Traffic after the concert is notorious. If you’re not staying overnight, book a private car, shuttle, or ride-sharing service in advance.
Stay hydrated & eat before the concert: Food options near the venue are limited, so grab a meal before heading in. Hydrate well, but keep in mind venue restrictions on bringing drinks inside.
Secure your accommodation ASAP: With thousands of fans attending, nearby hotels and Airbnb book out fast. Secure your stay weeks in advance to avoid last-minute stress.
Enjoy the Moment! Whether it’s your first SB19 concert or your tenth, soak in the experience. Sing your heart out, wave your lightstick, and meet and make unforgettable memories with fellow A'Tin!
