All Singaporeans and permanent residents will be able to apply for two, four or six tickets to the main parade on Aug 9, or one of two preview shows on July 26 or Aug 2, said the NDP 2025 executive committee on May 26.

The shows will be held at the Padang.

For the second year running, applicants must use Singpass - the national digital identity platform - to apply for the tickets. The committee said the process, which was introduced in 2024, will help to prevent scams.

The committee said tickets will be allocated via a balloting process upon the closure of applications and will not be given on a first-come, first-served basis.

Each applicant is entitled to one ballot chance, and each ticket will admit only one spectator.

Reselling of the show tickets is strictly prohibited. Action will be taken against those caught scalping or using the tickets for fraudulent purposes.
