The year is off to a delightfully sweet start for UnionBank cardholders, who are getting exclusive early access to one of the most anticipated stage productions of 2026—Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical.
In partnership with GMG Productions, UnionBank is offering its credit and debit cardholders an exclusive pre-sale window and a 10% ticket discount for the musical’s Philippine run at The Theatre at Solaire this July.
From January 12 to 15, 2026, UnionBank cardholders can unlock first dibs on tickets—plus savings—before they’re released to the general public. It’s another example of how the bank continues to curate premium lifestyle experiences that go well beyond everyday banking.
After capturing global attention during the pandemic and becoming a viral hit on TikTok, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical has since evolved into a multi-year international tour spanning Asia, North America, Australia, and Europe. Now, Filipino audiences finally get to step inside Willy Wonka’s whimsical universe, complete with dazzling sets, iconic songs, and the timeless story that has enchanted generations.

UnionBank says the exclusive pre-sale is part of its broader commitment to bringing world-class theater closer to its customers, building on a strong run of entertainment partnerships in 2025 that included Come From Away and Dear Evan Hansen. The momentum carries into 2026, with more major productions already lined up, including Les Misérables: World Tour Spectacular and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Beyond this golden ticket moment, UnionBank cardholders can expect even more perks, priority access, and curated partnerships throughout the year—turning everyday spending into memorable experiences.
