| NEWS!!! Sting's Philippine concert on Dec. 9, 2012 transferred to Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City---instead of SM MOA Arena---due to legal dispute over 182 trees in Baguio City |
The official website of superstar singer Sting has announced that his one-night Philippine concert on December 9, 2012 will now be held at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila instead of the original venue SM MOA Arena near the Manila Bay area.
The environmentalist pop star Sting reportedly cancelled the concert at the original venue due to an on-going court case between environmental activists and SM MOA Arena's sister firm SM Baguio mall over 182 trees that would be affected by the expansion of SM Baguio.
Sting's official website had this statement:
Local promoters Ovation Productions confirmed today that the Sting: Back to Bass concert previously scheduled at the Mall of Asia Arena will now be held at the Araneta Coliseum. There is no change to the show date, which remains Sunday, December 9th, 2012.
Back to Bass features Sting performing many of his greatest hits, stripped down, with a 5-piece band featuring his longtime guitarist Dominic Miller, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), David Sancious (keyboards) Peter Tickell (electric fiddle), and Jo Lawry (vocals).
Tickets may be exchanged beginning October 25, 2012.
How to exchange concert tickets?
Fans who had previously purchased a reserved seat ticket will receive a reserved ticket for the new venue. Reserved seat tickets have been carefully reassigned so that fans that had a reserved ticket at the MOAA will receive a comparable reserved ticket in the new venue.
