Tips to Avoid Crowds

Based on advice from crowd management experts and experienced concert-goers:

Alternative Stations

Instead of fighting crowds at Stadium MRT, walk to nearby stations:

  • Kallang (EW10) - East-West Line, accessible via sheltered walkway
  • Mountbatten (CC7) - Circle Line, one stop away
  • Nicoll Highway (CC5) - Circle Line
  • Tanjong Rhu (TE25) - Thomson-East Coast Line

Alternative Exit at Stadium MRT

  • Exit B towards Stadium Boulevard has fewer people and no crowd filtering (slightly longer walk to stadium)

Alternative Transport

  • Bus Service 11 operates on a loop near Singapore Indoor Stadium (Bus Stop 80199)
  • Walk to nearby housing estates (Geylang, Kallang) before booking Grab/Gojek for better prices and availability
  • Consider leaving early if you need to catch the last train

Official Recommendations

The Singapore Sports Hub recommends:

  • Travel by public transport to avoid traffic congestion and car park delays
  • Arrive 60-90 minutes early
  • Use multiple MRT lines and bus services
  • Plan your journey home in advance
