Ed Sheeran Mathematics Tour Live in Manila Philippines Concert at SMDC Festival Grounds

Watching Ed Sheeran's concert at SMDC Festival Grounds was not on our plan that week, but our trip out of the country with the kids was moved due to kids being sick. So there we were watching Ed Sheeran Live! We're not the type who buys expensive tickets, seeing that there were tickets still availble on the official sites, I took advantage of striking a good deal on Facebook market. The night before the concert made some inquiries on facebook groups and someone messaged me selling Cat 5 tickets at Cat 6 price and we had a common friend. SOLD!
Overall a great experience! Ed Sheeran played tons of songs for 2hrs 30 min! Very very entertaining performer! He makes the crowd involved. Worth it! Plus we get to see Calum Scott and Ben&Ben Live! Bonus was our section was near the pathway from backstage to the center stage, we got to see the artists up close! :)
What I felt was lacking was the safety on the exit after the show. The situation reminded me of the Crowd Crush incident at Korea. Made me worried a bit. Could be better. Hope SMDC improve on that. There was very few staff guiding the crowd to the exit, most staff I saw was just on the sides and doing nothing. The crowd was not controlled and guided. When you exit the venue, there you see some officers stopping traffic etc. But inside every man for himself.
