The Singapore Sports Hub, the multi-purpose sports and entertainment precinct that includes the nation’s 55,000-seat National Stadium, has widened its ticketing operations by teaming up with SISTIC, Ticketmaster and Ticketek.

Sports Hub Pte Ltd, the consortium that manages the Singapore Sports Hub, launched a tender with an invitation to ticketing agents to send in their applications by 14th November. As a result Ticketmaster, Ticketek and Singapore-based SISTIC have been named ticketing agents.

The move to expand the complex’s ticketing capabilities comes as part of plans to address its growing calendar of sports, entertainment and lifestyle events in the precinct. Promoters will now be able to select which of the three ticketing agents will be appointed to sell tickets for their events, with the chosen company to offer booking services for tickets made available through their respective websites, mobile, call centres and retail outlets.

SISTIC, Ticketmaster and Ticketek will man the SportsHub’s central box office during the transition period before it is eventually manned by the respective ticketing agent of each event, operating only on event days. The SportsHub has also called for customers to opt for e-tickets when purchasing online.

Operators also placed on record their thanks to current ticketing agent New Era Tickets Asia, which had served as a partner of the SportsHub since its launch in 2014.

As well as the National Stadium, the Singapore Sports Hub includes the 6,000-seat OCBC Aquatic Centre, 3,000-capacity OCBC Arena, Water Sports Centre, Kallang wave Mall, 100PLUS Promenade, Singapore Youth Olympic Museum & Singapore Sports Museum, Sports Hub Library, Shimano Cycling World, and daily community facilities and activities such as beach volleyball, courts for futsal, basketball and netball, lawn bowls, giant chess, a skate park and running and cycling paths.

The Singapore Sports Hub has also announced several fitness promotions including yoga and High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT) classes that will run from 8th January to 8th February.
