And guess what? According to ChannelNewsAsia Singapore, successful applicants in the NDP 2012 ticket eBalloting exercise will not be eligible for this year’s ticketing eBalloting exercise as seen from the article below:

Successful applicants in the NDP 2012 ticket eBalloting exercise will not be eligible for this year’s ticketing eBalloting exercise. This is in response to feedback last year, said NDP EXCO 2013.

Application for tickets to NDP 2013’s Preview and National Day Parade (NDP) starts from May 11 and ends on May 20. It will be open to Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents. Application can be done via SMS, NDP website, SAM and AXS stations, and the NDP 2013 mobile app. Applicants can choose to ballot for two, four or six tickets — to either the NDP Preview on August 3, 2013, or the actual NDP on August 9, 2013.

The NDP EXCO 2013 said applicants should note that the lower the number of tickets applied for, the higher the chances of obtaining them.Each NRIC holder is limited to one application regardless of the mode used to apply. 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, 2013.

Tickets will be allocated via an electronic ballot system supported by NCS Pte Ltd, and are not allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. NDP EXCO 2013 said 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.

Successful applicants will be notified from May 31 to June 4, via the contact number provided in their application. They may collect their tickets from June 7 to 16, between 10am and 10pm daily, at The Float @ Marina Bay.
