“With this, we’re making today’s show FREE for all! Yep, you heard me right – today is absolutely free for everyone,” Reid said in the post, which was made hours before doors to the festival were due to be opened.

James Reid also shared a statement on Twitter, which can be seen below. In his tweet, he confirmed that the general public will also be able to attend for free, but only after ticketholders have entered the venue.

In his Instagram post, Reed said that instead of opening the festival grounds at 3pm today, the gates will now open at 7pm this evening.

Reid said those who had paid for one or two-day passes will be receiving extra perks in form of prioritised entries through a dedicated entrance, while non-ticket holders would only be entertained on a “first come, first serve” basis.

He said the ticket holders would also be able to use their tickets as a voucher for the festival’s Jonnie Walker bars around the venue, with a value of PHP2,000. He added that one-day pass holders can keep their tickets to enter the festival on Saturday (January 14).

“Today’s going to be a great show and tomorrow’s gonna be absolutely amazing, so I hope to see you all the Wavy Baby!”
