How to get Singapore NDP 2025 tickets: balloting process, eligibility, deadlines and other FAQs answered
Singapore's celebrating her grand 60 this year – and this remarkable milestone is set to be full of fanfare. We're not just talking about the slew of SG60 deals that let us enjoy local attractions at a steal. This year's National Day Parade (NDP 2025) is set to be bigger and better than ever, because it'll be held concurrently at two locations for the first time in history, spanning across both the Padang and Marina Bay – certainly one for the books. While live television screenings will be done as per usual, those who've attended the parade will tell you that nothing compares to the heartwarming rush of watching the spectacle in person, alongside thousands of fellow Singaporeans all cheering on our skilled Red Lions and singing their hearts out to beloved National Day tunes together as 'one people, one nation'. Ready to try your luck? Here's a guide on how to ballot for your Singapore NDP 2025 tickets so you can witness the National Day Parade on the big stage. Are Singapore's National Day Parade tickets free? Yes, NDP tickets are all free-of-charge, but due to space constraints at the venue, not everyone can receive a ticket to attend the show. As such, interested parties will have to ballot for their tickets, which will then be given out purely on the basis of luck. Who can apply for NDP tickets? Only Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents (PRs) are able to apply for National Day Parade tickets. Non-PRs who are living in Singapore, as well as tourists, are unfortunately not eligible. Can a Singaporean bring a foreigner along for NDP? Yes, while they are unable to apply for themselves, you are welcome to invite a non-Singaporean or non-PR friend to watch Singapore's National Day Parade together with you as long as you have a ticket to spare. How to ballot for NDP 2025 tickets? Balloting for National Day Parade tickets can be done online via SingPass at the following URL: The link will only go 'live' once the balloting window opens on May 28, 2025. When are applications for NDP 2025 tickets open? Balloting for NDP tickets starts on May 28, 2025 at 12pm, and closes on June 9, 2025 at 12pm. Do give yourself ample time to apply before the deadline to avoid missing out on the window. How many National Day Parade tickets can I apply for? NDP tickets are given out in pairs, and you can choose to ballot for either two, four, or six tickets depending on how many family members or friends you'd like to attend with. You can choose from three NDP shows to ballot for It's not just the actual National Day Parade that you can apply to watch – the NDP Preview shows also have tickets up for grabs. Pick from one of the following three shows to apply for tickets for: NDP Preview on July 26, 2025 NDP Preview on August 2, 2025 Actual National Day Parade on August 9, 2025 All shows should end with a breathtaking fireworks display, weather permitting.

National Day Parade tickets are strictly not for sale as they're meant to be a means for Singaporeans and Singapore residents to celebrate the nation's birthday together, regardless of socioeconomic background. If you are unable to attend the parade for any reason, you may give them away to a loved one to attend on your behalf. However, do ensure that the tickets are not misused or sold away illegally after being obtained by your recipient. Tickets obtained through unlawful means will be rendered void.

NDP 2025: Applications for tickets to open on May 28, to be done using Singpass
Applications for tickets to National Day Parade 2025 and its preview shows will open from noon on May 28 and close at noon on June 9. All Singaporeans and permanent residents will be able to apply for two, four or six tickets to the main parade on Aug 9, or one of two preview shows on July 26 or Aug 2, said the NDP 2025 executive committee on May 26. The shows will be held at the Padang. For the second year running, applicants must use Singpass - the national digital identity platform - to apply for the tickets. The committee said the process, which was introduced in 2024, will help to prevent scams.

Each applicant is entitled to one ballot chance, and each ticket will admit only one spectator. Reselling of the show tickets is strictly prohibited. Action will be taken against those caught scalping or using the tickets for fraudulent purposes. The Padang has traditionally hosted around 27,000 spectators for the main show and each of the previews. The theme for NDP 2025 is "Majulah Singapura", to commemorate the nation's 60th year of independence. Taken from the National Anthem, the theme aims to help Singaporeans reflect on the collective achievements over the past 60 years, and look forward to the future. One highlight of this year's parade is an expanded show from the Padang that will include the Marina Bay area. Spectators can also look forward to the inaugural Jump of Unity featuring the Red Lions parachutists from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and naval divers from the Republic of Singapore Navy. Meanwhile, performances at the Padang will be complemented by light projections on buildings across the city skyline, while a new floating stage will also be built for performers at Marina Bay. To mark SG60, the Republic of Singapore Air Force will perform a special aerial tribute, in addition to traditional crowd favourites such as the state flag flypast, salute to the nation, and presidential gun salute. The mobile column - a showcase of air, land and maritime assets from the SAF, Home Team, and Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore - will also return to the Padang for the first time since 2019.
