John Legend in Concert (comp tickets series)
>> Saturday, March 28
We headed back to the Coliseum on the 26th, Thursday, this time to see John Legend. While waiting for my hubby by the Patron 101 Door 7, the event's security guys started asking the crowd (meaning a couple of popcorn people and myself) to stand away from the door as the artist was to use that entrance to enter the venue. I didn't get it at first because the huge muscle clad men were talking more in codes than in english so I continued to stare blankly at the hallway, waiting for my date. Only a few minutes later did I realize that what they meant was John Legend himself was to use that very door for his surprise entrance. So lo and behold, there he stood, John Legend, about four feet away from me, vocalizing!

I was in shock for about a full minute until I decided to evolve into severely 'duh' right after. People started gathering behind me, naturally, holding up their cameras and cellphones to record the surreal encounter. I was too duh-oh to get my phone out of my bag. Well, duh.

But my luck didn't end there. I followed John (Legend. Yeah, we stood that close to each other I'm going for first name basis now) into the coliseum and had an usher escort me to my seat (forgetting completely about the husband I was waiting for outside. heheh). Enter my second "Lo & behold" -- I held a ticket to a seat on the second row from the stage! Yep. VIP seats they were. I was among beautiful looking showbiz personalities of rival networks, it was hard to take sides, so focus I did on the concert instead of them :)

My hubby and his office mate found me eventually, and needless to say, we had a brilliant time! John Legend was awesome X 10 and the show would've been worth every penny had we actually paid for the seats. But we didn't and that amped the fantastic experience by a hundred times! It was, hands down, a really, really good show.

There was one thing that pestered us though -- a VERY young teenage couple who stood directly in front of us endeavored to stay standing, with arms locked around each other during most of the show. They were at the front row already and yet...! Kids! It's been four days since the show and I STILL want to slap both of you senseless. Be grateful that I'm not mom to either of you!

My husband was even able to get the set list after the show! Coolness. And it had all been possible because of complimentary tickets.
