After two years, Jay Chou returned to Singapore to start singing. After the news was announced a month ago, many fans were ready to grab tickets when the sale started at 10 a.m. on the 5th. In addition to online ticket purchases, many fans also arrived in line at the ticket office. It is reported that there should be a rush to buy a ticket at the ticket office on the 5th, waiting for the tickets to be sold.
Asia News reported that a TikTok user also shared a long queue of videos claiming that there was no movement for four hours. "Their system is paralyzed and we can do nothing," the user said.
In addition, fans who rush to buy tickets through the Ticketek website are also facing the phenomenon of being hard to get tickets. Reports say fans must be placed in a virtual queue before being redirected to the main website. Some people reported receiving error messages like "504 Gateway Timeout" that caused them to lose their location and had to re-join the queue.

The Lianhe Zaobao reported that due to overheating fans’ reactions, the tickets were sold at 10 a.m. on the 5th, and the Internet was paralyzed. This not only prevented many fans who wanted to buy tickets online from logging in to the official website to purchase tickets, but some fans said that they had been waiting for more than 8 hours and still could not enter the website.
For this reason, the organizer Changxin Media issued a statement through Facebook on the evening of the 5th, apologizing to fans and saying that because ticketing provider Ticketek faces technical problems, it has to slow down sales to solve these technical problems, and is also doing its best to deal with them.
According to the organizer on the morning of the 6th, Jay Chou's solo singing tickets were very strong, and the two singing shows had sold more than 90% of the total 50,000 copies. It is reported that Jay Chou's concert venue for two nights can accommodate a total of 60,000 people.
Lianhe Zaobao reported that as the epidemic in Singapore slowed down and the epidemic prevention measures were relaxed, especially the performance regulations were relaxed, several concert organizers have announced that many large-scale concerts will be held locally in recent days.
It is understood that Jay Chou’s “Carnival” world tour concert was held at the Singapore National Stadium on December 17 and 18 (Saturday and Sunday), with a maximum ticket price of 388 Singapore dollars (approximately RMB 1,877).
