So I figured I should contribute my experience on how I get my Mayday Concert VIP ticket for fans to have better chance in getting future concert tickets
Mayday LIVE 人生无限公司 演唱会
新加坡站
December 2017
There were a lot of ticket kiosk, but the one I went to was Singapore Indoor Stadium. You could get the tickets from Singapore Post too, but during the queue I overheard from "Experienced Queuers" that their system is quite bad, and sometimes it will jam and by the time it's back online there won't be any tickets left.
It was my first time queuing for any concert ticket, and being worried of not getting a ticket, I went to check the queue 1 day before opening of VIP ticket.
VIP sales starts : 10am (Friday)
Check : 9.30am (Thursday)
Queue : None
Only during my second check at night that I found there are already 22 people queue-ing.
Check : 8.00pm (Thursday)
Queue : 22 People
The thing I would like to compliment is the ingenious method the fans used during the Queue to ensure order and prevent anybody from cutting the queue. Listing down the names and contact numbers on a piece of paper based on first come first serve basis. As simple as it sounds, I was really impressed. For my case, the 2nd person in the line is the one in-charge of getting everyone in the list.
One thing to take note is that overnighting is not allowed. We were chased away by security around 9.30pm (Thursday) and we ended up overnighting in a sheltered pathway in between Kallang Mall and Indoor Stadium. This is where the Name List came in handy, we know who is supposed to be where and behind who. I went to ask about the allowed queuing time and it's around daybreak, which is quite vague. Do remember to bring your Umbrella and insect repellents, sleeping bag too if you want.
The queue just got longer the next morning (Maybe 3.00am) with an approximate number of 50.
So when are we allowed to start queuing at the booth? For me, I asked the officer if we can start queuing (that is around 7am), and that's when they gave us the green light. We moved to queue near the booth and the Name List yet again came in handy.
So the queue reached around 100 at around 9:30am Friday, just 30 minutes before open sales.
By 9:58am all of us started refreshing online booking page just to try our luck in getting the tickets online. The ticket was set at $288 per ticket, so do ensure your purchase doesn't exceed the credit card limit.
IF you were to get online booking, don't worry if they indicate that there are no more seat of your choosing, as It's most probably the system being overloaded by the page request. Instead, keep trying on the number of seats you want. For me, the booking was quite a breeze as I was the few who managed to get in the system early, and I managed to temporarily book 7 seats, but as time goes by, booking large amount of seats would be a problem.
In the end, I managed to individually booked 2 tickets online and 5 from the booth.
