And yes, you need to know about ticket prices. Very well, the most awesome seats in all judging area will be worth about Php 1,500.00 while the back area would cost about Php 1,200.00. You can buy them at the Dinagyang Lounge, Iloilo Freedom Grandstand, City Proper. Tickets are strictly on a first come, first serve basis and no reservations whatsoever are allowed. This means that you can buy tickets at the lounge for the prices stated above or suffer the prices of ticket scalpers (which could increase more or less about 50%). If you're a foreigner, you might opt for the latter. Or you can have someone from Iloilo (relatives or friends) buy the tickets for you. The ticket prices are nothing compared to the tribal performance anyway. So, go for it.
