The concert is scheduled for 28 February 2026 and will be held at the FYM Hall, EVM Convention Center. The venue is a popular choice for large scale concerts and fan events, thanks to its modern facilities and spacious seating layout.
For fans coming from outside Metro Manila, the venue is accessible from major roads and public transport routes. This makes it a practical choice for both local fans and those planning to travel from nearby provinces for the concert.
To help fans prepare ahead of time, the organisers have officially announced the ticket sale date and price range. Tickets will go on sale on 11 January 2026 at 12:00 PM Philippine time. Prices are expected to range from ₱7,000 to ₱11,500, depending on the seating section selected.
With this early announcement, fans can now plan their budgets and decide which ticket tier best suits their concert experience. K pop concerts are known to sell out quickly, especially for popular artists like Chen, so being prepared ahead of time is key.
Along with ticket prices, the official seat plan has also been released. This allows fans to choose their preferred sections based on view, distance from the stage, and overall concert atmosphere. Whether you prefer being close to the stage or enjoying a wider view of the venue, the seat map makes planning much easier.
Certain ticket tiers also include exclusive fan benefits, such as special entry privileges and access to selected areas within the venue. These perks add extra value for fans who want a more immersive and memorable concert experience beyond simply watching the performance.
This announcement is especially exciting for local fans who have been waiting months for confirmed details about Chen’s return to the Philippines. With the venue, ticket prices, seat plan, and fan perks now officially confirmed, planning for the concert has become much easier.
Whether you are a long time EXO fan or someone who recently discovered Chen’s solo music, the Arcadia concert promises an unforgettable night filled with powerful vocals and emotional moments. It is shaping up to be one of the most talked about K pop concerts in Manila for 2026.
Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on official ticketing platforms and organiser announcements for the latest updates. Securing tickets as soon as sales open is highly recommended, as demand is expected to be high.
