Many have come to expect the usual from the annual Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). That’s all about to change this coming April, as the 19th installment of MIAS introduces one of the biggest firsts for the show: two venues.

Yes, the show will have a combined exhibition floor space of 41,000sq-m spread between World Trade Center and SMX Convention Center (both in Pasay City).

Now, one ticket worth P150 will allow access to both venues, alongside a free shuttle service at designated pick-up and drop-off points.
