BEWARE OF TICKET-SWAPPING. Look at the title of the movie on your tickets. REPORT anomalies or take IG pictures and POST in social media.

"My Bebe Love," a romantic comedy starring the phenomenal love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, opened in Philippine cinemas on Friday as part of the Metro Manila Film Festival. AlDub fans painstakingly lined up to buy tickets, which were immediately sold out in several cinemas.

However, some fans realized after watching the movie that they were given tickets to "Beauty and The Bestie" instead.

Netizen Monica Mapalo took to Twitter to report the incident.

SM Cinema contacted Mapalo about incident, asking for details of when she watched the movie.

The company tweeted an apology to AlDub fans after receiving the complaints, saying that the mistake was due to the high demand for tickets. But the tweets were deleted soon afterwards.
