Pinoy fans of Rob Thomas and his rock band Matchbox Twenty, listen up! Thomas along with fellow band members Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook are coming to town for a night of live rock music at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. The concert date will be on November 8, 2013. That's just about a month away. The concert is part of the band's worldwide tour promoting their latest album North which was released last year (September 4, 2012 to be exact). Tickets for the concert are now available for purchase. You can either buy them online from smtickets.com or you can buy them from an SM Tickets booth near you. These booths can be found in almost all SM mall branches.

Prices of the tickets are as follows: P8,450 (VIP); P6,870 (Patron); P5,280 (Lower Box); P3,700 (Upper Box); and P1,060 (General Admission). These ticket prices may not necessarily be final. They can either go down or up as the concert date nears. However, it's still best to get your tickets now to ensure that you have them. There's a chance that all the tickets may get sold out a week or so before the concert.
