If more than one entry is made, only his/her latest application will be entered for the electronic ballot when the application period ends on May 20, 2012.

Tickets will be allocated via an electronic ballot system supported by NCS Pte Ltd. As such, tickets are not allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

The balloting results are final and there will be no appeals.

As each ticket admits one spectator to the parade, children (inclusive of infants) must hold a valid ticket to be admitted to the parade.

Applicants who indicate a mobile number in their application will be notified via SMS and are to accept or reject the tickets via an SMS to the same notifying number by June 5, 11.59pm. Failure to reply may result in the tickets being forfeited.

Successful applicants may collect their tickets from June 8 to 17, 2012, between 10am and 10pm daily, at The Float @ Marina Bay (20 Raffles Avenue, (S) 039805).
