22 days until Rihanna and Chris Brown touch down in Manila!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are just 22 days until Rihanna and Chris Brown perform a special two-for-one gig on Nov. 16 at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig City.

Count that down. That’s just 528 hours. Or 31, 680 minutes. Or 1,900, 800 seconds until the concert of the year.

I mean, Rihanna and Chris Brown are music’s match-made-in-heaven. With Grammys, MTV Awards, and Billboard Hot 100 singles between them — and an open romance, to boot — sparks are guaranteed to fly at their first ever Philippine gig.

The two are, after all, responsible for many of recent memory’s most LSS-worthy tracks: Rihanna’s SOS, Umbrella, Shut Up and Drive, Hate That I Love You and Take a Bow; Chris Brown’s Run It!, Wall to Wall, Kiss Kiss, With You, Take you Down, Forever, and Superhuman.

Betcha can’t wait. ‘Cause neither can we.

But here’s a little secret: Tickets are already available. If you buy yours early, you get Supreme discounts.

You read that right. Until Oct. 31, a platinum ticket to see Rihanna and Chris Brown will cost you P8,000; a gold ticket, P3,000; a silver ticket P1,500, and a bronze ticket for P300. There are good prices, because, after the 31st, tickets will be at P10,000, 5,000, 3,000 and 600, respectively. So be sure to grab yours early.
