Actress Andrea Brillantes has received criticism on social media in the past few days due to allegations that she received VIP treatment to secure a ticket for Filipino-American artist Olivia Rodrigo’s concert.
It can be recalled that the ticket for Olivia’s concert at the Philippine Arena would only cost P1,500, but the seats would be randomized based on fairness.
However, some netizens already suspected that some celebrities, including Andrea, would receive VIP treatment for the concert, which the actress denied.
“Honestly po, I have no idea about the post you’re referring to. I NEVER posted anything like that, and it would’ve been IMPOSSIBLE because I didn’t even have a physical ticket before the 28th,” said Andrea.
However, the criticism intensified after Andrea was spotted securing a front seat during the concert.
Netizens questioned how Andrea secured a VIP ticket, and some believed that she allegedly acquired her seats via scalpers.
“Side-eyeing her hard kahit na bumili sya ng jacked up price na ticket kasi this is a benefit concert. imagine for charity yung stop niya dito tapos she bought tix from someone na pinagkakitaan itong event na ‘to. trash cloutchaser,” netizen Happy said.
“What do you even expect? Eh since from the very beginning ganyan na yan ka-clout chaser. Eh diba nga kaya most kpop fans ayaw sa kanya kasi si sakay lang yan sa bandwagon tapos andyan na naman yang never-ending line ni ate gurl na “i have been a fan since i was a kid”. Ever since ganyan ang atake niyan, talagang privilege works for her. Kahit sa mga kpop concerts ganyan yan. Sa ariana concert, ganyan din siya. Ako, Arianator talaga pero nung hindi ako nakabili ng tix niya kahit pumila talaga ng pagkahaba-haba tapos yan si gurl VIP pa, ibang klase rin talaga. Napaka-consistent niya,” netizen Demi commented.
As of writing, Andrea has yet to give any response to the criticism she received from the netizens.
