Last May 26 was the concert of Hillsong United here in the Philippines at the Araneta Coliseum. It was really a night where people from different churches praised and worshiped God.
The place was really full, I can really say this because I was not able to go back to the seat where me and my friends have already reserved. We arrived just early enough to be able to pick the place we want, even if it was only in the General Admission section.
One other friend was not yet there, so I had to come down from time to time to see if she is already at the gate, the problem is there is a no re-entry rule, so you have to wait for the person behind the gates. People were rushing to get inside since the time was approaching for the concert to start, it was scheduled at 8 P.M. so my friends who were inside kept sending me messages with what is happening inside.
The time came that it was set to start, I returned and there was no way I will be able to get through, so the only way I can watch is from the space through the entrance doors. I just picked a better entrance with not much people and started to sing with everybody.
Still I have to go outside from time to time to check on that friend, even at 9 P.M. there were still people coming inside. I passed on someone who asked me how much is the ticket for the General Admission and I told him P291, he said he got ripped off by the person selling outside at P500.
Even if I was at the side I was really able to feel the heartfelt worship that happened on that night. I'm not really familiar with most of the songs they have performed but listening to the people, the younger generation it was really exhilarating.
Note: I will be borrowing pictures and videos from others who have posted the event.
