As the event draws nearer, there are a few important details that ticket applicants need to take note of.
For instance, those who have succeeded in booking a seat at the parade will receive their notification via email. The NDP ticketing committee will not use any other form of communication this year, including SMS.
If successful applicants cannot make it on the collection dates, they can send a family member on their behalf.

According to Channel NewsAsia (CNA), the ticketing committee will not use any other email addresses or other forms of communication, such as SMSes, to notify successful applicants.
Collection period for NDP tickets
There are currently two collection periods for tickets. Successful applicants may collect them from 10.30am to 8.30pm on the following dates:

The location will be on the second level of the Central Atrium in Marina Square. Applicants must present the QR code in their notification email in order to redeem their tickets.
Those who are unable to make it on any of the collection dates may forward the notification email to a family member or friend to collect the tickets on their behalf.
The QR code is only valid for a one-time redemption. Thus, applicants should not share their notification e-mail with multiple recipients.
The NDP ticketing committee has also reminded applicants that they must redeem their tickets by 8.30pm on 17 Jul or they will be forfeited. The committee will not be allowing any appeals.
Spectators must abide by VDS guidelines
