People without tickets who are still keen to attend this year’s Chingay parade will be granted complimentary access into a free-standing area on a first-come, first-served basis.

The parade will take place at the F1 pit building, and the area allocated to the public will be a stretch of road beside the parade route.

Tickets for both dates of the parade, Feb 3 and 4, have been sold out, said the Chingay 2023 executive committee on Tuesday.

“Members of the public are encouraged to come down earlier to secure good spots for better viewing of the performances,” the exco said, adding that they will work closely with the relevant authorities regarding crowd management and security.
