Kevin Alabaso, ABS-CBN NewsMANILA -- Imagine waking up really early a day before the ticket selling so you could camp out at the ticket booth for your favorite group, only to find out four people already beat you there<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(17, 17, 17);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">—three days ago.</div>This was what &quot;RJ&quot; and her friends did right after music label Star Music announced last April 4 that P-pop girl group BINI would have a second day in their BINIverse concert.On April 5 (Friday), at 6 a.m., civil engineer RJ and her three friends were already staying near the ticket booth in Araneta since they were &quot;anticipating very long lines.&quot;RJ told ABS-CBN News that they also tried last April 2 to get tickets for Day 1 of BINI&#x27;s concert but had no luck, <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">even though they were the ninth in line at the Robinsons Galleria.  <div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/4/2/bini-s-concert-biniverse-tickets-sold-out-in-less-than-2-hours-1657">BINI&#x27;s concert &#x27;BINIverse&#x27; tickets sold out in less than 2 hours</a> </div>This is why they started lining up four days before the actual April 9 selling date of tickets for Days 2 and 3 of the concert. RJ said the hardest part of camping for <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">four days was managing their budget. &quot;Nagkaroon kasi kami ng additions sa group. Four lang talaga kami originally pero &#x27;yung mutuals ko from Day 1 concert na camping, gumusto na rin mag-camp noong nalaman nilang nagka-camp kami, [and] they were college students,&quot; RJ said.&quot;Kailangan namin i-make sure na pasok din sa budget nung students &#x27;yung paggagastusan namin tulad ng accommodation, kasi until 1 a.m. lang kami pwede mag-stay dito sa booth. After that, nagsi-stay kami somewhere for six hours, pero every three hours bumabalik kami sa booth to take a time check video para may proof pa rin kami na andito kami sa area,&quot; she added.Interestingly, RJ&#x27;s companions were not her close or long-time friends.In fact, she only met them in person on the first day of their camp. &quot;Actually, naging friends ko lang rin sila noong nag-announce for day 2. Nakilala ko sila sa X (formerly Twitter). I first met them noong April 5 and parang 4 kami na nagsimulang mag-camp and we all had the same idea to camp that early just for BINI,&quot; she said.RJ also revealed that she only became a fan of BINI during their UP Fair stint last February. &quot;Ang naghatak sa akin para maging fan ay ang &#x27;MikhAiah!&#x27;, yung friendship nila. Nakita ko na lang rin sa feed ko then nag-visit ako sa YouTube nila hanggang sa na-hook ako sa song nila na &#x27;Karera,&#x27;&quot; she said.But other than being a fan of the so-called nation&#x27;s girl group, she also had something different in mind on why she started camping so early.&quot;Bale bagong fan lang kasi ako e since noong February lang ako nag-start. So parang ang thinking ko parang mayroon akong hinahabol akong years sa journey nila na na-miss out ko. So itong first solo con[cert] nila, ayaw ko talagang ma-miss out &#x27;yung first solo con nila. Gusto ko talagang nandoon ako kaya talagang pinush ko,&quot; RJ said.Was the 4-day camping worth it?For RJ, it definitely was as she was able to secure four SVIP Center tickets for the third day of BINI&#x27;s concert.

Imagine waking up really early the day before the ticket selling so you could prepare to camp out at the ticket booth, only to find out 4 people already beat you there... 3 days ago.
