Yes it's true. It's been in the works for several months na. Marlboro
is sponsoring this concert and paid each of the members a staggering
P10M each to do a full 45-minute set. This is the official
announcement:
"No more blind items my dear friends. Yes. We are confirming it.
There is no point denying:
August 30, 2008 will be LEGENDARY!!!
The country's most influential band ever will be reunited for ONE
NIGHT ONLY.
This once in a lifetime experience will be staged at the CCP
opengrounds.
Tickets are free and you can download it early August. Website to be
announced.
ONE BRAND.
ONE BAND.
ONE NIGHT ONLY...
ERASERHEADS REUNION CONCERT!"
you read it there, the info above is from Villy Jay Villacorta, and its a post in the mailing list, double confirming the news about the reunion concert and the big backer who organizes the event. It so weird for me read a stunning 10M talent fee on each member of the band, I'm not really sure if this is REAL or not, I also read the info in Philmusic about this announcement too, after I search some great info about the concert, from the Philmusic blog "The Eraserheads Reunite - And this time, they're Smokin'" they posted that Ely Buendia did a radio interview in Jam 88.3 and already confirmed the news from him, too bad that I wasn't able to listen and record the live interview.
Okay, I went to this website of Marlboro and I have some few concerns. I'm already half done registering to this Red List membership, and its like an online membership of smokers and adults that will get a special invite and special information about their upcoming events, and one of it is the Eraserheads reunion concert, been subscribe to their newsletter since 4 years, and yes! it is very effective, been to their events in NBC tent and other big events that they can promote their brands, and once you enter, you still need to bring your valid ID to enter the event, as for my experience in the past, I undergo a 3 level of ID and face confirmation inside the event and I'm not sure if they will do the same system in CCP Grounds.
In the Marlboro website, the only people allowed to register are adults and below 18 years old will be having lot of trouble in signing up, because in order to finalize your registration, you need to scan and send any valid ID and document that will prove your adult age.
for fans who are in their minor age will not like this, especially to those people who haven't got any valid documents and ID, and wait ! I don't even know that is this for real? I mean..I was hoping for Pepsi and other great products, but I guess even a smoker and a non smoker who is a big fan of ERASERHEADS will still register to their website or maybe buy a brand just to enter and have ticket invite for the concert. And to those who haven't got any valid ID and documents, this is your early call to fix and get one..
this is so weird and also I can say that we bloggers and other people who blogged about this reunion blind items are not part of this so called viral marketing, I'm not part of any promotion or company behind this big gig, but hey, if they read this! EMAIL ME!!! hahahahahahahhaha.
will blog more and deliver my opinions and arghhh!!! Im so excited just like other E-heads fans

i was on the process of registering but i didn't thought i should submit my i.d. right away, i was hoping there would be an option to submit it later. now i was wondering what shall i do it already gave me a tracking number. i don't have in hand an i.d. with my birthdate.
anyway, thank you so much for the information.^_^
talk about conflict of interest.
i'll probably do it though, and a really good concert experience is the only way i'll get over it.
to the guards/ marshalls of CCP, papasukin nyo ko kung ayaw nyong MAGKAGULO.hehe
yan ang THREAT!
what can i say, e-heads is still the BEST.
not sure about that kung pwede.
pero as of now.wala pa talaga details sa tickets.
lets wait muna yung official announcement. lahat kasi nakuha lang yung info from the Eheads ML and other net sources.
yung marlboro thing..baka hindi pa yan
Im a member, pero na check ko yung page..wala pang any updates
waaa. Nakakatakot naman. lol.
Anyway, ano ba ang website ng marlboro sa atin? kanina pa ako sa Google.
grr.
mas mganda cgro my bayad ang tiket, para controlled ng konte ang crowd. mahirap kc makipagsiksikan or baka libre nga, marame nmang requirements for entry.
