Organizers of the Eraserheads concert dubbed Huling El Bimbo on 22 December said only 50,000 ticket-holders will be admitted to the venue, the open-air SMDC festival grounds in Parañaque.

A post on the Facebook page Huling El Bimbo on 29 September began with a line from the Eheads song "Huwang Mo Nang Itanong": "Parang sweepstakes?"

And then it continued, that from the millions of Eheads fans, only 50,000 will get to watch the show, followed by the announcement that tickets start selling on 5 October.

That's a pretty big figure, though it had been claimed that the second major Eheads reunion concert, held on 7 March 2009, drew 100,000 fans — perhaps the largest number of people ever to watch one Filipino band, which remains the country's biggest and most influential to date.

There have been a number of Eheads reunion gigs after its breakup in 2002. The first one, on 30 August 2008 at an open lot in BGC, was stopped midway when Ely Buendia fell ill and was rushed to Makati Medical Center, where doctors said he suffered a minor heart attack due to stress. (His mother died two days before the show.)

Buendia underwent angioplasty, quickly recovered, and played with his bandmates Marcus Adoro, Buddy Zabala, and Raimund Marasigan in the 2009 concert.
