(SPOT.ph) Despite its location in the often-congested Manila, the Cultural Center of the Philippines still gets crowded during big events. People just know that braving the traffic is always worth it. There's the Pasinaya every February, Virgin Labfest every July, and the much-awaited Cinemalaya every August. But when you're a buzzer-beater (thanks to the usual traffic jam fronting the side entrance of CCP), a ticket purchased in advance comes very handy. Here's good news for you: Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) presents its very own mobile application for both Android and iOS. It lets you book tickets online—no credit card needed! The CCP app also gives updates on the latest art events happening that side of the Metro.


Like most apps, you can log in with your Facebook or Google accounts. And since it's made possible in partnership with Ticket2Me, you can also use your sign-in credentials for the ticketing platform. After selecting from the list of shows and schedule, you can choose to pay for the tickets in different ways:
- Credit or debit card
- Over-the-counter banking
- 7-Eleven
- PayPal
- GCash
- MLhuiller or Cebuana Lhuiller
Once paid, your ticket can be viewed through the app or your e-mail. No printing required! How's that for going paperless, too?
