Planning to attend a concert in the Philippines with Live Nation as the organizer? Then you should consider joining their presale (if they have an LNPH presale) to secure tickets before the general sale begins. Presales are common in concerts these days, especially for K-pop shows where there are fanclub presales, bank-sponsored presales, and organizer presales like Live Nation Philippines (LNPH).
Whether you’re trying to score tickets for your favorite K-pop group or a much-anticipated Western artist, this guide will walk you through how to sign up for the Live Nation Philippines presale and successfully buy tickets before they sell out.
But first, what is Live Nation Philippines?
Live Nation Philippines is a live entertainment company known for organizing and promoting top-tier concerts and events in the country. As a part of the global Live Nation Entertainment group, it brings world-class performances by international artists to the Philippine audience. Specializing in large-scale productions, Live Nation Philippines handles everything from ticket sales to event management.
How to Sign Up for Live Nation Philippines Presale?
Step 1: Visit the Live Nation Philippines Website
Start by heading over to the official Live Nation Philippines website. This platform is your gateway to concert tickets, updates, and exclusive presale opportunities. Familiarize yourself with the site’s layout, as it will help you navigate more efficiently when the presale begins.
Step 2: Create an Account
To access presales, you’ll need a Live Nation account. Look for the “Log In/Register” button, located in the upper right corner of the homepage. Click on it and fill in the required information, including your name, email address, and a secure password.
Make sure to use an email address that you check regularly. After submitting your information, confirm your registration using the email verification link sent to you. This step is crucial; without verifying your account, you won’t be able to receive presale notifications.
Step 3: Join the Mailing List
Once your account is set up, take the extra step to join Live Nation’s mailing list. This is often found in your account settings or as a prompt on the website. By subscribing, you ensure that you receive the latest updates, including information on upcoming concerts and exclusive presale codes.
Step 4: Stay Informed About Upcoming Events
With your account and mailing list subscription in place, it’s time to stay informed. You can regularly check the Live Nation Philippines website for announcements regarding upcoming shows. They usually post details about artists, concert dates, and ticket availability well in advance.
But I highly suggest you follow Live Nation Philippines on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. These channels often do real-time updates and reminders about presales, helping you stay in the loop.
Step 5: Be Ready for the Presale
Presales can sell out in a matter of minutes, so preparation is key. Note the date and time of the presale, which will be announced on the LNPH social media accounts. Set a reminder on your phone or calendar to ensure you’re ready when the time arrives.
Before the presale begins, log into your Live Nation Philippines account and ensure your payment information is up to date on your desktop or mobile browser. This will help streamline the checkout process, allowing you to secure your tickets faster.
Step 6: Purchase Your Tickets During the LNPH Presale
This is the most important part of the entire process because this is where many first-time concertgoers get confused.
Before the presale starts, make sure you are already logged in to your Live Nation Philippines account. Most experienced concertgoers open the website at least 15 to 30 minutes early because Live Nation sometimes activates the presale page before the official selling time.
Once the presale opens:
- Go to the artist or event page on the Live Nation Philippines website.
- Click “Find Out More.”
- Scroll down until you see the “LNPH Presale” button.
- Clicking that button will redirect you to the official ticketing website, which is now usually ticketmaster.ph (formerly connected with SM Tickets).
This is the part many people do not realize:
You cannot simply wait on the homepage of ticketmaster.ph and expect the presale link to appear automatically. For most LNPH presales, the access point comes directly from the Live Nation Philippines website itself.

Once redirected to ticketmaster.ph:
- You may be placed in a waiting room or queue system.
- Avoid refreshing too much once you are already inside the queue because it can sometimes reset your session.
- Prepare your payment details ahead of time because good seats can disappear within minutes.
- Some users open both desktop and mobile browsers as backup, but avoid logging in on too many devices at once since it may trigger security checks.
Because of the recent SM Tickets x Ticketmaster Philippines transition, expect some layout or system changes depending on the event. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the platform before ticketing day instead of learning everything during the actual queue. Here’s a guide to the new SM Ticketmaster.
Step 7: Follow Up on Your Purchase
After securing your tickets, keep an eye on your email for additional event details such as venue guidelines, claiming instructions, and organizer announcements.
If you encounter ticketing concerns, payment issues, or duplicate charges, contact the official ticketing platform’s customer service immediately.
