1,000 free concert tickets for Blackpink’s ‘The Show’

On Friday night, Globe gave away 1000 The Show tickets to Blackpink fans as a gesture of appreciation to those who waited at least two hours during the kick-off event of Korea’s most sought-after girl group concert at the end of this month.  

The telco aimed to “reinvent the world” of millions of Filipino Blinks fans by staging The Opening Act, an event that featured a series of skylight displays on Jan. 22 using drones at the Bonifacio Global City.   The event paid homage to the highly popular K-pop group.  

After the cancellation of ‘The Opening Act,’ a drone show at BGC in Taguig, Globe is giving away 1000 concert tickets to Blackpink’s ‘The Show.’

Set for live streaming at 7:30 p.m., Globe’s show contractor started its set up as early as 1:00 p.m. and GPS signals were strong and optimal 30-minutes before the 7:00 p.m. countdown.   When the show was about to commence, signals started to suddenly fluctuate. It started with five drones and escalated to 20 drones in just an interval of six minutes.    

The drones did not normalize and finally lost GPS and satellite signals one by one. The show team was forced to break the program into sequences and attempted to troubleshoot and regain access to the signals.

Despite repeated and diligent attempts to reboot the drone systems and stabilize drone signal strength, it did not succeed. The team was forced to end the stream at 8:25 p.m., leading to the show’s cancellation.

The technical report indicated signal jamming as the most likely cause of the drones’ inability to take flight.   The jamming targeted the GPS signal of the drones.  

In a statement, Globe said,   “Due to circumstances that are beyond our control, we will need to shift our gears and reschedule The Opening Act to a later date.   To express our appreciation for all of you who stayed with us tonight, we will be giving away 1000 The Show tickets so you can catch the girls live on Jan. 31.”
