Popular boy band One Direction has added another date on their Manila stop after tickets for their concert here next year quickly sold out last week.

In a tweet posted on Sunday, Rhiza Pascua, head of concert promoter MMI Live, confirmed that a second show has been added to the group's "On The Road Again" stop in Manila in 2015.

Whether ticket prices would change has also yet to be announced, the "street team" added.

Meanwhile, in a tweet posted on Monday, GMA News reporter Cata Tibayan said the tickets will be sold both online and in SM ticket outlets, contrary to previous reports that the sale will remain exclusively online.

One Direction's concerts are now set for March 21 and 22, 2015 at the SM Mall of Asia grounds.

There was a massive turnout when ticket booths opened last Friday, as fans showed up at the MOA grounds as early as Thursday, some of them even bringing pillows, fans, food, and drinks. According to an earlier report by GMA News' Athena Imperial, tickets sold out quickly, including VIP tickets worth P17,950.



The lowest-priced tickets sold for P1,150.

Formed on the Simon Cowell-produced "The X Factor" in 2010, One Direction is composed of five young men from the UK: Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson. — Rose-An Jessica Dioquino/BM, GMA News
