In about two weeks from today, Malaysia's top diva Siti Nurhaliza together with new phenomenal singers Siti Sarah and Misha Omar, and veteran artiste Jamal Abdillah will step foot into Brunei Darussalam for their special public appearance at the Megah Di-57 concert.

Sponsored by Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA), the team of these 'untouchable' artistes will be arriving on August 20 at midnight, with a crew of 45 members.

According to Sphere Entertainment, the event organiser, "since tickets sales were made available, in just less than a week's time, there has been an overwhelming response from public members. Tickets will soon be sold out - even days before the concert itself."

Sphere Entertainment has arranged two separate meet-the-fans sessions.

As Megah Di-57 is a two-day concert, Jamal Abdillah will be performing live on August 22, while Siti Nurhaliza will stage her appearance the next day. Both concerts will take place at the Jerudong Park and Country Club (JPCC) Amphitheatre.

For those who would like to get up close and personal with Siti Nurhaliza, they will have to register with Sphere Entertainment.

The first 500 $88-dollar (+$10 for beverages) and $68-dollar (+$15 for beverages) ticket holders will be able to greet Siti Nurhaliza personally at the Baze Music Lounge of the Empire Hotel and Country Club on August 22 from 10am onwards.

For loyal fans of Jamal Abdillah, the first 300 $68-dollar ticket holders registered with Sphere Entertainment will be able to rub shoulders with the veteran artiste at the Holiday Lodge on August 21 from 1pm onwards.

Tickets are available from Sports Café at Holiday Lodge, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, IBA Shell Station at Berakas, and any KFC outlet in the country. Cost of tickets (no free seating) for Siti Nurhaliza's concert on August 23 range from $38, $68, and $88, whereas tickets for 'Showcase Jamal Abdillah' are priced from $28, $38, and $68.
