Yes, One Direction has been announced as the newest international endorsers of fashion retail brand Penshoppe. And no, there’s no word yet as to whether the phenomenal boy band will soon come to Manila and hold their own fan conference just like Zac Efron before them.
But at least some lucky local fans won’t have to wait for an official announcement to that effect.
That’s because Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson have already taken it upon themselves to fly in fans from all over the world to watch them in concert at the Madison Square Garden in New York City in December.
The boys said that this can only be possible through the “Bring Me To 1D,” a global “Go1Den’ Ticket” competition that they recently launched.
Go1Den tickets to the concert have been distributed worldwide and can be won in several ways. Tickets can be won in a variety of different ways in each country. They vary from completing challenges, creating content, answering questions to just plain pot luck.
In order to get their hands on a go1Den ticket should start paying close attention to One Direction’s official Facebook, Twitter and You Tube accounts, as there will be frequent special challenges in the next two months, some that will be region-specific.
Go1Den ticket winners will be announced on the band’s official website as they win, so that fans can follow the story wherever it’s happening in the world.
In the Philippines, the contest is officially dubbed as “Bring Me To 1D: Race To Win The Golden Ticket” and will be supervised by Ivory Music & Video. The record label announced that they will be posting the final mechanics on Monday, October 22 on their website and official Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Formed by Simon Cowell on the 2010 series of “The X Factor”, One Direction made pop music history when they became the first British group to enter the Billboard 200 chart at number one with their sensational debut release, “Up All Night” only last March. The record-breaking album went on to sell over 2.3 million copies worldwide and is a certified number one release in 16 countries.
Following the release of their debut single “What Makes You Beautiful” late last year, One Direction have since become a ubiquitous presence on the music charts. With over 12 million records sold worldwide in a little over a year, One Direction have reached No.1 in 27 different countries.
Their new album “Take Me Home” will be released November 12th in the UK, while their single “Live While We’re Young” became the fastest selling pre-order in history when it was announced in September.
