But for the first timers, worry no more! From OOTD ideas down to bag sizes, this is the perfect guide for you because #EverythingsHereAtSM 

  1. Be there early. Like EARLY E-A-R-L-Y. 

Aside from the freebies that you’ll ge, you might want to avoid the looooong lines of pila. Make sure that your tummy is full (click here for your guide to Mall of Asia restaurants that’ll surely satisfy your pre-concert cravings!) because outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the venue.
