# Venue holds and calls · 30 Philippine stops Drafted 10 November 2026. Nothing here has been sent. The letter and script go out only after Stan approves the text. ## 1. Hold request letter Send from stan@h4hexperience.com, subject `Courtesy hold request · [VENUE] · [DATE] · Midnasty & Friends`. One venue per email, no attachments on the first approach. --- Dear [VENUE CONTACT], I am writing on behalf of H4H Experience to request a courtesy hold on [VENUE] for [DAY, DATE 2027], with access for build on [DATE-1] and load-out on [DATE+1]. The event is a 150-minute live concert on the 2027 Philippine run of Midnasty & Friends, capacity [CAPACITY]. We are a touring production working to a national partner, and we hold public liability insurance for every stop. What we need confirmed: 1. Availability of the main hall on [DATE], with build access from [TIME] the day before and load-out until [TIME] the day after. 2. The rental rate and what it includes: air conditioning, power supply and capacity, stage and house rigging points, dressing rooms, parking for two trucks and one bus, and any staff the venue supplies. 3. Whether the venue requires its own security, catering, ticketing or sound contractor, and what those cost. 4. Any approval outside the venue that we must obtain, such as the city administrator, the barangay, the school board or the provincial sports office. 5. How long you can hold the date without a deposit, and the deposit and contract terms once we commit. We are holding dates across thirty cities through November 2027 and will issue contracts in January. A short reply on availability first would let us decide whether to book a site visit. Thank you, KK Chief of Staff to Stan Wright H4H Experience https://h4hexperience.com stan@h4hexperience.com KK direct: +1 (415) 583-6919 --- ## 2. Phone script, about ninety seconds "Good morning, this is KK calling for Stan Wright at H4H Experience. We are routing a concert tour through thirty Philippine cities in 2027 and I am checking one date with you: [VENUE] on [DATE]. Is the main hall free that day, with the day before for build and the day after for load-out?" Then, in this order: the rate and what it includes; whether the venue forces its own security, sound, catering or ticketing; power capacity and rigging limits; who else has to approve the booking; how long the date can be held without money; and who signs the contract. Close with: "May I send you a one-page courtesy hold request so the date is pencilled in while we finish our partner selection?" Get the name, direct number and email of whoever owns the calendar. ## 3. Call list in priority order Tier 1 is this week. Every entry has a reason, not just a sequence. 1. Limketkai Atrium, Cagayan de Oro, 14 Aug 2027. Awarded hold on the venue's own calendar 14 to 16 Aug. Ask what the booking is and whether a move to Rosario Pavilion A2 or the Event Center is open. info@limketkaicenter.com, reserve.limketkaicenter.com. Also ask about the awarded block running 23 Jan to 4 Jul 2027. 2. Playtime FilOil Centre (formerly Filoil EcoOil Centre), San Juan, 6 Feb 2027. Our opener, five weeks from first payment and not yet confirmed by phone. FilEcoSports on Facebook; ticketing runs through TicketMAX, +63 2 7908-8888, corporate +63 2 7908-8000. Ask directly whether UAAP volleyball has claimed mid-February. 3. SMX Convention Center Davao, 31 Jul 2027 and 27 Nov 2027. Two dates in one building, no published calendar. +63 917 552 5667 or +63 2 8556 8888. Ask about Kadayawan-adjacent August traffic and about the November closing weekend. 4. IC3 Convention Center, Cebu, 5 Jun 2027 and 20 Nov 2027. Two dates, and the venue is habitually taken in late November by expos. (032) 345-0546, info@ic3.events. 5. Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay, 6 Nov 2027. The largest gate on the run at 15,000 seats and the arena only announces about nine months out, so the hold conversation starts now and the contract follows. Route through SM Prime arena leasing. Tier 2 sets the dates that sit inside a local festival month. 6. Ormoc City Superdome, 19 Jun 2027. Piña Festival week. Ormoc City Sports Office. 7. Bohol Wisdom Gymnasium, Tagbilaran, 10 Jul 2027. Sandugo month, and the room is a school gym, so the school signs. BWS administration. 8. Iligan City Civic Center, 4 Sep 2027. Diyandi opens about 1 September. City administrator. 9. IC3 is already logged; next is Capiz Provincial Gymnasium, Roxas City, 15 May 2027, clear of WVRAA and Capiztahan but with no published calendar. Provincial sports office. 10. Iloilo Convention Center, 1 May 2027. Clear of the July expo cluster; ask about MICE allocations. (033) 330-7600 or 0917 822 3090. Tier 3 is where the venue name in the plan is wrong, so the call is also a correction. 11. General Santos, 21 Aug 2027: Lagao Gymnasium, about 7,000, not "GenSan City Gymnasium". City sports office. 12. Zamboanga City, 18 Sep 2027: Mayor Vitaliano D. Agan Coliseum, 10,000 capacity. City administrator. 13. Koronadal, 9 Oct 2027: South Cotabato Gymnasium and Cultural Center, provincial sports office. 14. Tagum, 16 Oct 2027: the Cultural Center may only be a foyer. Establish whether a 2,500-seat hall exists in Tagum before the date is published. City tourism office. 15. University of St. La Salle Coliseum, Bacolod, 8 May 2027. Sits between graduation dates. Campus administration. Tier 4 is the routine provincial set, one block of calls once the tiers above are moving. 16. Batangas City Sports Coliseum, 13 Feb 2027. 17. Dagupan City Astrodome, 20 Feb 2027. 18. Baguio Convention Center, 6 Mar 2027. 19. AUF Sports Arena, Angeles City, 13 Mar 2027. 20. Imus Sports Complex, 20 Mar 2027. 21.

Lamberto Macias Sports Complex, Dumaguete, 26 Jun 2027. 25. Tacloban City Astrodome, 24 Jul 2027. 26. Butuan City Sports Complex, 11 Sep 2027. 27. Cotabato City Gymnasium, 2 Oct 2027. 28. Kalibo Municipal Gymnasium, 17 Jul 2027. Every call logs three things: who owns the calendar, whether the date is free, and the number to reach them. That is what feeds the Terrain recipient fields and the version page. ## 5. Dispatch record, second batch Sent 10 Nov 2026, all from stan@h4hexperience.com with stan@diwfestivals.com on blind copy, all using the approved letter. - Batangas City Sports Coliseum, 13 Feb 2027, 5,000, build 12 Feb, out 14 Feb.

Asks specifically whether late November is already committed to expos. That is six dates held or requested out of thirty. Every send is logged in Terrain against the venue rental line for that stop, with the recipient and the time. ## 6. Where the remaining addresses are coming from Three scouts are working through the other twenty-two rooms now, split by island group, with orders to report only addresses they actually saw published and to flag where the route is a phone call instead. As each batch lands, the same letter goes out, and the version number here moves. ## 7. Dispatch record, third batch Sent 10 Nov 2026, H4H from stan@h4hexperience.com with stan@diwfestivals.com on blind copy, each letter carrying that venue's own film link. - Quezon Convention Center, Lucena, 3 Apr 2027, 3,000, build 2 Apr, out 4 Apr. To the Provincial Economic Enterprise Unit and the Provincial Sports Office (economicenterpriseunit@gmail.com, qpsoligastan@gmail.com). - Iloilo Convention Center, 1 May 2027, 4,000, build 30 Apr, out 2 May.

To eventsales@smxcc.com.ph, the events sales inbox; the RFP form is the formal channel behind it. - GenSan City Gymnasium, 21 Aug 2027, 3,500, build 20 Aug, out 22 Aug. To info@gensantos.gov.ph, addressed to the Sports and Games Development Division. - Koronadal City Gymnasium, 9 Oct 2027, 2,000, build 8 Oct, out 10 Oct. To city.mayorsoffice@koronadal.gov.ph. That is sixteen of thirty stops requested once the Cebu and Davao second dates are counted as the same room. ## 8. What the address hunt actually found Three scouts went through the remaining rooms. The finding that matters: almost no Philippine LGU gymnasium publishes a venue booking address. Where an address exists it is a city hall inbox, and the calendar is usually held by an office two doors down. Four LGU sites are effectively unreadable by machine: Cotabato does not resolve, Butuan returns 403, Tagum refuses the connection on 443, Iligan sits behind a Sucuri challenge. So the remaining rooms fall into two groups. Email already sent, general inbox: Ormoc, Dumaguete, General Santos, Koronadal. These will probably be forwarded internally rather than answered by the person who holds the calendar. Needs a phone call or a walk-in letter, no published address at all: Imus Sports Complex, Baguio Convention Center, AUF Sports Arena Angeles, Playtime FilOil Centre (the ticketer TicketMAX is not the booker), Mall of Asia Arena, Zamboanga Agan Coliseum, Tagum Cultural Center, Cotabato City Gymnasium, Butuan Sports Complex, Iligan Civic Center, Capiz Provincial Gymnasium, Kalibo Municipal Gymnasium, Tacloban Astrodome, Bohol Wisdom Gymnasium. Phones gathered so far: Imus (046) 888 9910, Zamboanga (062) 992 0420, Ormoc (053) 560 8140, South Cotabato 083 228 7708, Koronadal (083) 228 6095, Tagum 0953 497 1605, General Santos (083) 552 3221. Baguio, Butuan, Iligan, Kobato, Capiz, Kalibo, Tacloban and Bohol Wisdom still have no verified line. Judgement: the phone list is worth Stan's evening, and the calls are worth more than the emails for these rooms, because the person who answers a city hall line can name the officer who owns the venue calendar in a way no general inbox will.
