MALL OF ASIA Coliseum

[illumina]

Negatives: Acoustics don't resonate cheering as well as Araneta, very tight seat pitches, steep seat inclines

Positives: Wide concourse, escalators and elevators, more than ample parking, lots of great restaurant choices at MoA

I'm curious who comes up with these numbers. The venue capacity is only a little over 14K.

16k daw ito for sporting events. and recently nicki minaj concert held at moa arena umabot daw ito sa 20,000 attendees.

Andami palang vacant seats. Bakit wala na daw tickets? Haaay. Sana makanood na next game.

because according to SM Tickets, the ticket that they sell is good for two games.

for example, yung nanood ng first game ay nag-decide na hindi na manood ng second game. because the ticket is good for two games and the seat assigned to the ticket is reserved, the seat, vacated during the first game, would remain vacant during the second game.

Sino yung barker sa games kanina? Tunog Gus Abelgas na mahusay sa Ingles.

Rick Stryker or Edwin Logina. He is a former PBL barker and also did games for the Philippine Patriots in the ABL. He is also a DJ on DWDM Pinoy 95.5 on FM.

Oh I see. Lagi na po bang ganito? Does this rule apply to the succeeding games?

Huh? is this something new? The system has been like this ever since I can remember. The only time they print out separate tickets for each game is for DLSUvADMU games which only started the season FEU(?) hosted.

If people want separate tickets for each game, prices are gonna be more expensive, there's gonna be a 2 hour lull in between games to vacate the arena and usher in the next batch, and it's gonna be terrible TV scheduling. Bad news all around. Unless people start watching every game like it's a glamor event like the DLSU ADMU games have become, I expect the current system to stick.

[The_Psylocke]

Ang daming scalpers. At parang hindi sila nagtatago unlike sa Araneta.

Medyo garapal nga...palapit na kami sa MOA Arena tapos may sumisigaw na mama na bumibili or nagbebenta ng tickets....

Agree, like sa UST vs NU game, hindi na naging live telecast yung 11AM game, sa Twitter tuloy kami nag-aabang ng updates and results

[bahamut_zero]

Napansin ko lang na since MOA Arena ang venue, ang daming scalpers kumpara last year.

Medyo di maayos accoustics nun Arena, baka kailangan lang nila ayusin.

this. mas gusto ko pa rin talaga araneta. hirap lang parking pero maganda ang location maganda ang view ng lahat,....

[valacuna]

Pasay yan. ang Pasay ang "Wild Wild West" ng Metro Manila. kung ang Tondo ay parang walang batas, mas malala ang Pasay since it is a poorly-managed LGU, dating back to the time of the dominance of Sharon Cuneta's father, the late Mayor Pablo Cuneta.

the scalpers at MOA Arena yesterday are the same guys who operate at Araneta Coliseum. they also operate at Cuneta Astrodome. since Pasay has no law against scalping and most SM Tickets people were ex-Ticketnet, expect the scalpers to cash in on the new system.

ahh kaya pala nagkalat sila ng parang walang pakealam dahil di naman pala mahuhuli. di ba kasi sa qc bawal talaga yun scalpers? kaya di ganun nagkalat sa araneta?

I want to watch a UAAP game at MOA, but not a La Salle -Ateneo game. May I know where and when to buy tickets for a game? Thanks in advance.

[pulASUL]

Go, check SMtickets.com

now that the basketball part is over, what is your judgment of the MOA Arena as the venue of the UAAP games?

[dashingdevonair]

I'd choose MOA over Araneta for two reasons:
1. Better acoustics
2. Cheaper food and drinks
3. The surrounding LED screen adds flavor to the game.

[fernando_hierro]

but beware of thieves
moa has poor security
thieves are free to roam

^ i was actually surprised that thieves successfully robbed Meralco's dugout during a recent PBA game at the MOA Arena.

I prefer Araneta kapag big events like semis and finals ng Men's Basketball or kapag Ateneo-La Salle or rival schools ang magkalaban and Cheerdance kasi mas maraming maa-accommodate ang Araneta (seats + SRO)

Pero kung mga normal games pwede na sa MoA mapagtiyatiyagaan.

[Tomasaiyan]

sana mag-set ang Santo Tomas ng attendance record sa MOA... sa Araneta kasi naka-30000 kasama ang DLSU... kung mangyari man yun sana hindi DLSU ang kalaban para solo lang ang USTe sa pag-angkin ng recognition sa pag-tala ng most attended games mapa-MOA man o Araneta, at panalo dapat ang Growling Tigers...

Game 1 ng UAAP 2012 Men's Basketball, 20686 ang nanood, finalist ang Growling Tigers at hindi DLSU ang naging kalaban nila... sumunod na ang 19K ng UAAP CDC... walong schools pa yan, ha... para talaga record-breaking ang crowd attendance dapat talaga kasali ang Santo Tomas...

The PBA Philippine Cup will play at MOA Arena this Sunday. Meralco faces Petron at 4:15 pm and Ginebra tackles Talk 'n Text at 6:30 pm.

The Air21-Meralco and Petron-Ginebra games there attracted a crowd of a little over 13,000. Let's see if this Sunday's games will draw a big crowd especially with Ginebra's current losing streak.
