Nagkakahalaga kasi ng P35,000 ang pinaka-VIP ticket o ang tinawag nilang, Atin ang Gabi package. Kaya marami ang nagsabing ang Ex Battalion ang BTS ng ‘Pinas dahil sa mahal ng presyo ng tiket.

Esplika naman ng isa sa producer ng show na si RS Francisco, “I’ve scheduled a dinner not just in any restaurant, a dinner in Manila Hotel plated dinner where in they can meet and greet and literally have photos with them, chat with them, get to know them, ask them questions live face to face and especially the ‘Atin ang Gabi’ package.

“Wherein after that dinner magkakaroon ng after party with full force Ex Battalion, magkakaroon sila ng listening session, party session. These boys marami silang unreleased songs pa na ‘di pa lumalabas.  Lalabas pa sa 2022 pero dahil kinuha ‘yung Atin ang Gabi package maririnig nila for the first time, sila ang unang makaririnig ng songs na ‘yun. At saka ito jamming talaga as in hindi ‘yung literal na nakaupo lang sila.”

Sinabi pa ni RS, “I was the one who actually open the idea of having a VV-VIP tickets. Of course, as we know these boys have millions of fans and kunwari ako fan nila, baka mabitin ako sa concert lang.

“Sometimes may ganoon, eh, baka mabitin ka kaya naghahanap ka pa ng zoom na ‘yung grupo mismo, sila magha-hi and hello. May ibang sa sobrang fan nila, bitin pa rin ‘yung ‘hi and hello’ gusto nilang makarinig ng kuwento.

“May access to online concert, plus Printed Ticket, EXB Greetings via Zoom, EXB “Inside Kwento” via zoom, signed EXB poster. With EXB Mask and Shirt, RS Mask and Shirt, SV shirt and jacket. An exclusive dinner with the EXB and an exclusive access to the Listening Party (inclusive of cocktails) featuring never-before-heard (Unreleased) Ex B tracks.

“Marami talaga akong fans na pini-PM ako sa Facebook na kumusta sina Honcho, Skusta Clee, Flow-G, King Badger, Emcee Rhenn, Brando, Jroa, Yuridope, Jekkpot, Huddasss, Jnskie, Bullet-D, Cent, E.I.J . As in marami silang gustong malaman about these boys.

“Kaya (naisip ko), t’eka gawa kaya tayo ng VV-VIP Tickets na kung saan they will get to know these boys na they can have dinner with them.”

Sinabi pa ni RS na bagamat 500 ang capacity ng Centennial ball room ng Manila Hotel, hindi nila itinodp ang makakadalo sa ‘Atin ang Gabi’ package dahil na rin sa health protocols na ipinatutupad ng IATF.

“The ballroom can accommodate 500, pero dahil may percent (limit), so we’re just getting 20% capacity kaya 100 pax lang allowed doon,” giit ni RS.

Sa December 15 gagawin ang VV VIP tickets kaya pagkatapos nilang mapanood ang idolo nila ng December 11ay makakasama naman nila ng personal pagkalipas ng apat na araw.

Sa kabilang banda, tiniyak ng Ex-Battalion ma sulit ang mga manonood ng kanilang concert na EVOLUXION: An Ex Battalion Online Concert dahil aabutin ito ng tatlong oras at bongga ang bawat production numbers dahil nilagyan ng kakaibang areglo ng musical director na si Raul Mitra ang mga awitin nila.
