YOG: Last Minute Ticket Sales for Poorly Filled Sold-out Venues
From Thursday, if there are empty seats at sold—out venues, officials will be flexible in allowing last—minute fans to purchase tickets.

Aiyoh, this is uniquely Singapore. Can sell again tickets which are already SOLD meh?
What happened to those who bought tickets and went missing? And it is not one or two person leh, it is a mass Missing-In-Action scenario repeated at many venues.
The poorly filled venues reflect badly on the organizers who declared sold-out events. More importantly, Singaporeans who genuinely want to support the athletes are deprived of the chance.
In a Straits Times forum letter, sports fans claimed they had been turned away by staff at stadiums because tickets "were sold out," only to find that many seats remained empty.
The Ministry of Education had picked up about 80,000 tickets out of overall 320,000 tickets. But so far, our students are hardly interested.
Inculcating interest in sports or even Olympic values amongst our youth is important but are we using the right approach to motivate them? I think a lot of kids feel apathetic or even fearful of this YOG "monster" with so many adult rules to comply...

perhaps its a publicity stunt went awfully wrong!
IMO, adults can't force young ones to attend YOG.
They already have loads of homework to do.
They can watch it on Yog channels after their work is done.
