I was looking at the seat plan over at Ticketnet and the price of your seat is I think facing the stage right smack.

Also, the David Foster and Friends concert is happening over at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, that's another venue for people to spend their moolahs on.

I'm curious to hear about the newbies and also if James M will be there (hoping against my better judgment..).
Also, these are mainly older members (as far as Libera standards go anyway ) but I'm missing Sam Leggett, Josh, Ben P and Liam...

No, I wouldn't say that.
It already occurred that the choristers list was known in advance, like for the Asian tour in April 2009, it was published by EMI Japan prior to Libera arrival.
In fact for sure Libera always gives the list to the local organizers, and the organizers at time may publish it or leak it, it's not Libera that communicate directly on that point.
Yes, not completely unique - however the revealing of 9 choirsters a day akin to x-factor style who makes it to boot camp is unique. I'm sure they'll finish the exercise by revealing the biggest names last. I agree I don't think this is official libera policy, but hey-ho no harm done if it adds to the suspense and excitement.
Well if some people were thinking of buying tickets today, seeing the list without Ben & Josh yet, that might postpone their purchase till they see the complete list.
There is an additional info on their tv commercial today. Now they will sing x-mas songs and best of libera songs. That's great news but they should've announced that a long time ago. That might have swung some people to see them instead of the black eyed peas or david foster. What's with this Oct 25 date anyway? Some sort of musical cosmic convergence that they all have to have their concerts on this day?

Thank You for the update
I am so relieved they will do " the best of libera " songs. I thought they would have to as a complete xmas concert would of been boring as all get out for me personally and some other fans .
And fans always want to hear , Libera , Salva Me , Sanctus .
I also wonder as its a xmas themed concert if they add Ava Maria or Gaudete.

THIS. This was also my issue with the concert and was one of the reasons that is making me question to buy a ticket before, they should've said that that was the case.
As much as the release of the teaser has sort of alleviated my fears that I'm gonna feel out of place with an all Christmas list, I am happy that they're going to add in non festive songs since I wasn't able to go to their last PICC concert.
And the October 25 date... coincidence?

That's kind of expected as there are only 16 tracks in the Christmas album and the typical Libera concert is at least 20 songs. And they can't go to Cebu without singing "Orinoco Flow".
As for the October 25 date, I don't think it was a coincidence as the original date was October 22 for the PICC concert. They probably had no other choice. Rescheduling a concert isn't as easy as it sounds. A lot of things need to fall into place on the new date.

And even then it may be 16 tracks but they wont sing all 16 songs off the album as some will be not be able to be sung live to logistics and stuff.
how did you know?
