The Hala Bira Saga of Iloilo continues this January 2018.

Iloilo's annual ati tribe competition resumes with all its impending grandeur and power. The streets are now busy for the preparations. The crowd is already buzzing with excitement. The tribes are up all night preparing for their upcoming performances along with their respective tribe bands. And the tickets are already out!

Iloilo Metropolitan Times has this schedule for the succeeding and simultaneous events of the said festival which includes (but not limited to) church masses, sports competition, costume contest, Miss Dinagyang 2018, advocacy campaign contests, fitness and body building competition, battle of the bands, and so many more! Seriously, you should check this out! Here's the link:


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.
