FEB 22, 2024, 05:00 AM

I was disappointed to read the report on the statement by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and the Ministry of Community, Culture and Youth (MCCY) on the economic benefits of Taylor Swift’s upcoming world tour stop in Singapore (STB gave grant for Taylor Swift concerts, event likely to generate major benefits for S’pore economy: Govt, Feb 20).

While it is exciting to have a world-renowned artiste perform in Singapore, the way ticket sales have been handled is disappointing.

The primary concern of the Government and organisers seems to be profit maximisation rather than the interests of local fans.

By prioritising profits over accessibility for local fans to the tickets, the STB and MCCY marginalised a significant portion of those who were eagerly anticipating Swift’s concert.

Priority should have been given to local fans to ensure their access to tickets, as Singapore is Swift’s only stop in South-east Asia.

This should have been an opportunity to celebrate and reward her local fanbase, but instead, it has led to frustration among those who could not get tickets.

The Government and cultural agencies should not turn such events into profit-driven ones that leave many people feeling excluded and disheartened.

Liddat say F1 also got many great economic benefits….from the spectators to the minister
 
Finally someone with critical thinking skills and Shit Times publishes it
 
This kind of exclusive deal only serves to hurt ties with the Asean neighbours, and upset many regional fans who can't travel out of their countries to see their favourite American superstar.
 
No wonder the stupid Minister was so siao on in promoting the concert. I think CPIB also need to investigate if the Minister received free tickets
 
Many angmoh wannabe Sinkies just love to have angmoh names. To these retards it is the first step to towards angmohnisation in becoming an angmoh. LOL.

Tiakong a VIP seat is $50K, 100x more for a seat in Bristish football match.

Who knows before this other similar deals like this were made but were not exposed.
 
Again, locals are the ones happily getting screwed in the arse by the gahment. Privileged foreigners are given priority for the tickets. Dumb sinkies are left to fight over bread crumbs.
