MANILA, Philippines — Vice Ganda and Zeinab Harake denied allegations that they obtained dozens of tickets through special access for BTS’ upcoming two-night concert at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, following accusations circulated on social media during ticket sales for the event.
The controversy emerged on X after some social media users accused celebrities and influencers of securing large numbers of tickets for BTS’ scheduled return to the Philippines.
One social media user shared a screenshot alleging that some tickets available during the general sale had been reserved or allocated through unauthorized means.
Several users linked Vice Ganda to the allegation, with one claiming that the comedian had obtained 50 tickets despite purchase limits.
Vice Ganda denied the accusation and questioned the claim in responses posted on X. The comedian said the allegation was false and criticized those spreading and believing the rumor.
Another social media user later accused the “It’s Showtime” host of obtaining 50 tickets despite a reported two-ticket purchase limit on the ticketing website.
Vice Ganda again denied the allegation and reiterated that the claim had no basis.
Harake also denied accusations that she had acquired a large number of tickets. In a post on X, she said she was in Europe for personal matters and dismissed claims that she had secured 50 tickets.
She added that ticket purchase limits would not allow such a transaction.
BTS is scheduled to hold a two-night concert at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on March 13 and 14, 2027.
Organizers announced that all tickets for both concert dates sold out as of June 11.
