why is it unfair? Average monthly wage is not always a good indicator. There are over 100 million habitants, it all depends on how the wealth is distributed. For sure the concert will not be affordable for many of them, but they only have to fill one stadium. The other option is not going to Manilla at all.

Saying "they only have to fill one stadium" implies this concert is aimed exclusively to the rich population of the country and that is basically against most of what U2 stands for.
