Preparing for Ticket Wars : The Taylor Swift Eras Tour 2024

How to prepare to get the concert tix of a lifetime (not sure why I decided to get this..as I am just trying & am not sure if i will yield the tix to my younger sister. I don't actually mind)

Queuing for the coveted tickets 

T-3hrs - Login to ticketmaster account (and setup your workspace, 1 LAN, 1 Wifi)  on microsoft edge (I've learned enough to do this standard practice) 

T-20min (and below) - Holding area open ( they do randomly assign numbers) 

(Whatever they were saying about refreshing - not working , it will just be randomly assigned like how my queue numbers were, but at least i tried to be wise to queue using 3 devices and having to log in before the whole thing starts, like 9am) 


Phone: 126693 (10mins before), LAN: 303989 (18mins before) and Laptop 64694 (17mins before)

Tickets secured for Laptop : 1330 (1h30mins) 

Only left with single tickets and some vip tickets. I saw as many as 5xx and 1k tix available. 


Do not even try to book for more than 1 tix, even though the drop down says you can. After you type the captcha code, it will not work and will say "Not enough tickets" (So Do not bother!) I wondered at which point in time will they stop  and say all sold out for the allocated presale (6 shows) 

1355 can already logging in ticketmaster account ( I tried to use my sister's account) 

1500 Everything SOLD OUT 


Trying again on Friday for the tickets (Round 2, wish us luck. This time around getting probably VIP 4 at least) 

Round 2


The lucky queue number that got the ticket 

Somehow every time I book a seat, I hit some error: 

Finally managed to snag some tickets 

The other queue number from other computer 

I still could not get tickets for my friends (was trying to get tickets for at least 4 people), in the end ..

Lessons from this: 
  • You need to have friends who will help you score some tickets (if not use their number to book tickets for them and yours) 
  • Patience 
  • Trial and error - before any ticketwar, you should already logged in to your ticket master account (on the day)

Guide to Terminating NTUC Membership (SG)

Image
Yes, we all fall for that trick of cash rebates and promotions that once you signed up, you kind of forget about why we signed up for it in the first place. It doesn't add value and it all adds up to the monthly expense.  I am writing because the website in no way explained when/where you can terminate the membership even though I've read all the terms and condition on the website. As a warning as long as the card remain active, you still owe them some money for the membership. Non-payment or termination of GIRO does not constitute termination of the membership. You have to personally write them an email or call their hotline. Why am I terminating? Because I am not using it anymore and it's not really beneficial for me. I only go to the grocery store but not go to NTUC member affiliated shops to shop, attend class. I don't fully utilize benefits . The cash rebates will only count on the following year. The link points redemption (and can only be redeemed in

How To Apply Canadian Tourist Visa in Singapore

Image
As I was rummaging through my files, I've noticed that I've forgotten to write about visa application to Canada as a tourist. Being a passport holder from a third-world country, I have to present documents to show that I am indeed going to go to that country just for the holidays. I also need to show them that I have the intention of going back to our home country after the holidays. People can thank their lucky stars for being born in a first world country. The number of countries to travel are infinite, provided that you have the financial means to do so.                             So, what are the requirements to apply for a tourist visa in Canada ( for people living in Singapore): 1. Accomplished form Details relating to your family as well as start of employment, salary, are asked. This is a very detailed form. 2. Supporting document ( Family information ) 3. Documents to upload/print: Plane ticket ( reservation) Hotel booking   Photocopy of Cu

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa (in Singapore)

Image
So you've decided to go to Europe. Congratulations! But because you are a citizen of a third world country, you need to apply for a visa.  But fret not! I will teach you the ways and means of applying for a Schengen Visa ( Although I am not a pro, but this is based on my experience on how I applied for one. )  First things first, when do you want to go? What countries do you want to go? Point 1:  Selecting the Visa Center It is important to take note of the countries to go because it would decide where you will apply.  The rule is that: You will apply the visa at the embassy of the member country where you will be staying the longest. If dates are the same, you will need to apply the visa at the embassy of the member country at point of entry.  For my case, I've decided that I would be going around Central Europe ( Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany ) and I chose to do my visa application at Vfsglobal - The Netherlands.
