Actress Andrea Brillantes felt she needed to clarify that she got VIP treatment as she got frontrow tickets to Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS world tour in Manila.
Using Instagram as her platform, Andrea clarified what transpired when she shared a video of her while lining up to buy ticket for Olivia’s concert.
Her initial Instagram story showed her excitement, “I was the first one to line up sa [queue] number lane namin omg НАВАВАНАНАНАНАНАНА,” which made people think she was given VIP treatment.
With this, she brought it upon herself to clear the issue.
“Oopsiee— I just realized I worded that poorly, and it came off as me bragging about my spot. But y’all got it wrongggg:/” she said.
“What I meant to say was, sa aga ko pumila kaninang umaga I ended up first in line in my queue number lane. Kaya ako lang tao nandun [because] I lined up very early for it 🙂 it wasn’t VIP treatment or anything magical,” Andrea added.
The issue stemmed from a Tiktok user who thought Andrea already had physical tickets ahead of time.
“Many of us have been waiting for two weeks for our tickets, and we feel very wronged to have this outcome, especially now that there has been a post made by Andrea Brillantes about having physical tickets despite them supposedly not being available until September 28,” the Tiktok user posted.
Addressing the issue, Andrea wrote: “I rarely address comments or posts like these, but Olivia’s GUTS album means a LOT to me. Honestly po, I have no idea about the post you’re referring to.”
“I NEVER posted anything like that, and it would’ve been IMPOSSIBLE because I didn’t even have a physical ticket before the 28th,” she added.
“I understand the frustrations po, I really reallyvyy do, but I don’t see why it’s necessary to drag my name into this and spread false information po. Regardless of my ‘status’ or whatever, I’m also just a fan of Olivia and want to enjoy the GUTS tour, as the album means SOOOOOO much to me,” she further said.
“Again, I never posted anything claiming that I had physical tickets before September 28th. I never posted, and I didn’t have them either,” she concluded.(NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
