> Quick view: NCT 127 play the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sunday 18 October 2026, 7pm — one night only, their first Singapore show in four years. Tickets are $228 to $368 before a flat $6 booking fee. NCTzen 127 Membership presale: today, Thu 20 Aug, 12pm–5pm only. General sale: tomorrow, Fri 21 Aug, 12pm at ticketmaster.sg. No code needed for the general sale. Read the price table before you queue — CAT 5 is a Restricted View seat priced above two clear-view categories.
The full ticket breakdown for NCT 127 5TH TOUR 'NEO CITY : SINGAPORE - THE REDLINE' is out, and unusually for this kind of story, you are not waiting weeks for it. The membership presale opens today at 12pm and closes at 5pm. The general sale is tomorrow at 12pm.
The show is at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 7pm, with doors from 5.30pm. It is a single date, promoted by UnUsUaL Entertainment Pte Ltd, and performed in Korean. Ticketmaster's own listing notes this is the group's return to Singapore four years after their last concert here in 2022.
Every price, in one table
These are the official figures from the Ticketmaster event page. Booking fees are not included in the ticket price — the last column is what you actually pay per ticket once the fee lands at checkout.
| Category | Ticket price | Booking fee | You pay per ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIP Standing | $368 | $6 | $374 |
| VIP Seated | $368 | $6 | $374 |
| CAT 1 | $328 | $6 | $334 |
| CAT 5 (Restricted View) | $298 | $6 | $304 |
| CAT 2 | $288 | $6 | $294 |
| CAT 3 | $248 | $6 | $254 |
| CAT 6 (Restricted View) | $248 | $6 | $254 |
| CAT 4 | $228 | $6 | $234 |
Ticketmaster's published fee bands for this event are $6 per ticket for tickets $50 and above, $3 for tickets between $20 and $49.99, and $1 for tickets below $20. Every category here clears $50 comfortably, so the fee is a flat $6 across the board — which at least makes the maths easy. Two CAT 4 tickets are $468; two VIP are $748.
The line on the price list to read twice
CAT 5 is labelled Restricted View — and it costs $298. That is $10 more than CAT 2 at $288, which is not restricted. It is $50 more than CAT 3 at $248, which is not restricted. And it is $70 more than CAT 4 at $228, the cheapest seat in the building, which is also not restricted.
It is, in other words, the third-most-expensive ticket on the entire list — above every clear-view seat except CAT 1 and VIP.
That is not a mistake on Ticketmaster's part, and it is worth understanding why before you decide it is a rip-off. The official seat plan puts the CAT 5 blocks at 209 and 233 — the lower-bowl blocks sitting immediately beside the stage. You are paying for proximity, and the trade you are making is an extreme side-on angle to the performance. For some fans that is exactly the trade they want.
The problem is that nothing on the buying screen tells you that. In a queue that is moving quickly, a buyer scanning down a list of category numbers will read CAT 5 as "cheaper than CAT 2" simply because 5 is a bigger number than 2 — and pay $10 more for a restricted view.
CAT 6 has the same shape in a milder form. It is also Restricted View, at $248 — exactly the same price as CAT 3, which has a clear view. On the seat plan, CAT 6 is blocks 309 and 333, the upper-tier equivalents of the same stage-side position. At identical money, CAT 3 is the straightforward pick unless you specifically want to be on that side of the room.
The fan benefits settle the argument
Cross-check the price list against NCT 127's official fan-benefits poster for this show and the CAT 5 case gets harder still.
- All VIP ticket holders — Soundcheck Party, VIP pass and lanyard, the photocard set (all 5 designs), and a dedicated VIP merchandise lane, subject to availability
- All VIP, CAT 1 and CAT 2 ticket holders — a mini hand fan
- All non-VIP ticket holders — 1 photocard, random design
Read that middle line carefully: the mini hand fan stops at CAT 2. CAT 5, despite costing $10 more than CAT 2, does not get it. So a $288 CAT 2 ticket is cheaper than CAT 5, has an unobstructed view, and is the last tier on the list that comes with anything beyond the single random photocard every non-VIP holder receives.
Two redemption rules matter here, both printed on the same poster: VIP passes, lanyards, mini hand fans and photocards are to be redeemed before entry to the soundcheck, and all benefits must be redeemed before the show begins — no post-show collection is allowed. If you turn up at 6.55pm for a 7pm start, you may have paid for a benefit you cannot collect.
Where each category actually sits
From the official seat plan for this show, in plain terms:
- VIP Standing ($368) — the four floor pens, Standing Pen A, B, C and D
- VIP Seated ($368) — the lower-bowl blocks closest to the floor, wrapping around the pens
- CAT 1 ($328) — the rest of the lower bowl
- CAT 2 ($288) — blocks 216, 217, 225 and 226, at the far end of the lower bowl from the stage
- CAT 3 ($248) — the upper tier facing the stage across the North end, blocks 318, 319, 320, 322, 323, 324
- CAT 4 ($228) — the upper-tier sides, blocks 310–314 on the East and 328–332 on the West
- CAT 5, Restricted View ($298) — blocks 209 and 233, lower bowl, beside the stage
- CAT 6, Restricted View ($248) — blocks 309 and 333, upper tier, beside the stage
The plan carries its own caveats: it is not drawn to scale, colour indicates price category, prices exclude booking fees, and the seating layout is subject to change.
The two times that matter
| Sale | When | Who can buy | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCTzen 127 Membership presale | Today, Thu 20 Aug 2026, 12pm – 5pm | Membership holders, using the membership code | 2 tickets per code per account |
| General sale | Tomorrow, Fri 21 Aug 2026, 12pm | Anyone signed in to a Ticketmaster account — no code required | 4 tickets per transaction |
All times are Singapore local time. Both sales run through Ticketmaster's Smart Queue, which the company says is designed to keep bots out and give everyone a fair shot.
One naming wrinkle worth flagging so it does not throw you: Ticketmaster calls today's window the NCTzen 127 Membership presale, while the Singapore Indoor Stadium's own listing at The Kallang calls the identical 12pm–5pm window a Weverse presale. Two official pages, two labels, one sale. Go by Ticketmaster — it is the platform actually processing the purchase.
If you are not a member, there is nothing to scramble for. Tomorrow's general sale needs no code at all, gives you a limit of 4 rather than 2, and is the same inventory.
Before you buy — and before you go
- Tickets are mobile-only. You access them through your mobile web browser at ticketmaster.sg.
- Resale at the same or any price is prohibited, and there are no refunds, exchanges or cancellations once tickets are sold. The Kallang states plainly that resold tickets will not be honoured at the venue and ticket holders will be turned away — that is money gone twice. Unsure whether an offer is a scam? The 24/7 ScamShield Helpline is 1799.
- Accessible seating is handled by phone, not online — call +65 6018 7645. The same hotline sells tickets Monday to Saturday, 10am–6pm, and is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
- Admission: no entry for infants in arms or children below 5; anyone aged 5 and above needs their own ticket; under-12s must enter with a guardian aged 18 or older.
- What you cannot bring in: bags exceeding 35cm x 20cm x 30cm, fan boards larger than A3 (29.7cm x 43cm), gifts and flowers, laptops, iPads and tablets, non-collapsible umbrellas, chairs and stools, noise makers, and outside food and drink. Water bottles are fine if they are not glass and you empty them before entering.
- The deposit counter costs money and does not take cash. Items can be deposited at a non-refundable $10 per item, payable only by VISA, Mastercard or PayNow — no cash, no AMEX, no NETS.
- On cameras, the two official pages differ. The Kallang bans professional photography, videography and live streaming, and specifically professional cameras, GoPros, iPads, tablets, zoom lenses, selfie sticks, gimbals, tripods and monopods. Ticketmaster's admission policy for the same event states flatly that no photography and videography is allowed. Assume the stricter reading at the door.
What this means if you are buying
If price is the deciding factor, CAT 4 at $234 all-in is the entry point and it is an unobstructed seat — cheaper than the restricted-view CAT 6 at $254 and $70 cheaper than the restricted-view CAT 5. If you want to be close to the floor without paying VIP, CAT 2 at $294 all-in is the value pick on this list: clear view, and the cheapest ticket that still comes with the mini hand fan.
The one category to choose on purpose rather than by accident is CAT 5. At $304 all-in it is a restricted-view seat priced above two clear-view tiers, and it does not carry the hand fan. It buys you proximity to the stage and nothing else — which is a real thing to want, but only if you knew that was the trade.
And if you miss today's five-hour presale window, you have lost very little: the general sale opens at 12pm tomorrow, needs no membership and no code, and lets you buy twice as many tickets.
