SINGAPORE: Tickets went on sale yesterday for the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix and demand was so high that organisers admitted the distribution system could not cope.Singapore will host the sport’s highly anticipated first-ever night race around the city-state’s streets on September 28.
Customers trying to buy tickets, which were available online, through call centres and at booths, experienced delays due to “an extraordinarily high volume of system traffic both locally and internationally.” General three-day passes are priced from 168 to 1,388 Singapore dollars ($118 to 979), with each customer allowed to buy a maximum of eight tickets.
At the top end, corporate tickets for the Paddock Club are 7,500 Singapore dollars ($5,293) The Grand Prix’s staging at night is expected to boost global TV ratings for an already hugely popular sport.
It is estimated that it will generate about 100 million Singapore dollars ($68.5 million) a year in incremental tourism receipts for an island nation that has ambitions of becoming “a vibrant, global city.”
