Volleyball fans will have to wait a bit longer as the Premier Volleyball League has announced the postponement of the 2024 Reinforced Conference semifinals, originally scheduled for Thursday (Aug. 29) at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. The delay is due to a power outage in the area.
The highly anticipated knockout Final Four matches, featuring unbeaten Akari facing off against No. 4 PLDT, and second-seed Cignal battling No. 3 Creamline, have been rescheduled to Saturday (Aug. 31) at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Additionally, the 2024 Reinforced Conference Final will now be held on Monday (Sept. 2) at the SMART Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
This postponement is necessary due to the ongoing power outage in the area, which has been caused by the continuous downpour over the past few days. The severe weather has led to significant damage to several Meralco power posts supplying electricity to the Philsports Arena, making the facility inoperable for the scheduled event.
All tickets purchased for the original date will be automatically refunded, with the refund amount credited back to the original payment method, whether it be a bank account, card, or e-wallet.
In a statement, the PVL sincerely apologized for any inconvenience caused by this change and expressed appreciation for the understanding and patience of all those affected.
The league remains committed to ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for its events and is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition to the new venue and date.
