Address:1 Stadium Dr, Singapore 397629
Prayer Spaces
It's hard to find prayer spaces within the area. So, we've collected a list of them right here in this article! You can find mosques, prayer spaces and even quiet corners. A tip, however, is to bring your prayer garments along as the quiet spaces won't have any available to you!
The most convenient is the Kallang Wave Mall Prayer Space which we have written down on where it is and how to get there in the article here!
Transportation - Train
Well, the Stadium MRT (CC6) is the CLOSEST MRT that you can take to to get to the National Stadium! Built right outside of Kallang Wave Mall, there are two exits that you can take, depending on which gate you're going to!
- Exit A: National Stadium (Gates 1 – 5 & 18 – 23), OCBC Aquatic Centre, Kallang Wave Mall, Singapore Sports Museum, Sports Hub Library, Visitors Centre, Water Sports Centre, Singapore Indoor Stadium, Kallang Theatre
- Exit B: National Stadium (Gates 6 – 17), OCBC Arena, Leisure Park Kallang
The merch stores are dotted all around the area so if one of the exits are crowded, go to the other one!
Note: Exit A will oftentimes be the most crowded right after the concert. You can head to Exit B or check out the rest of the ways to head home here!
Another MRT station you can head to is Kallang MRT (EW10) which is quite a walk away but a great place to head to if you live on the East-West line! There is a straight, sheltered walkway so you don't have to walk in the rain or in the sun.
P.S. From our experience at the Coldplay concert, they will funnel you towards the staircase up to the National Stadium outside, so just follow the instructions when you're there!
Transportation - Charter Buses
There are a bunch of pop-up bus services that can ferry up to 12 people to the same location!
Bussin is a service that you can use to book your bus tickets to the North, North-East, West, and East of Singapore. Each route will have a maximum of 5 stops. However, it's based on the demand for those areas. Each ticket now costs $9.99, inclusive of a refreshment and snack! Those who have bought a ticket will be put into the same Telegram group chat where you can get updates on pick-up points on the day itself. You can reserve your tickets here! NTU students can definitely make use of this function as it brings you all the way to Hall 16! There are a bunch of stops that they are able to bring you:
- North: Yishun, Canberra, Sembawang, Admiralty, and Woodlands MRT stations
- North-East: Serangoon, Hougang, Sengkang, and Punggol MRT stations
- West: Jurong East, Lakeside, Boon Lay, and Pioneer MRT stations, and NTU Residential Hall 16
- East: Bedok, Simei, Tampines, and Pasir Ris MRT stations
You can also try Wagon Asiatoo! Their tickets are available on Klook right here.
Their tickets are around $15.50 right now so grab them while you can and save the MRT waiting game for another day.
Stops:
- Jurong East MRT Station NS1/EW24
- Woodlands MRT Station NS9/TE2
- Serangoon MRT Station NE12/CC13
- Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station NS24/NE6/CC1
- Tampines MRT Station EW2/DT32
Pick-up point: Decathlon - Singapore Lab
#HHWTTip: If you're going for the other concerts such as Bruno Mars and ITZY, they have services for them too!
Transportation - Ride-sharing
From Grab to Gojek and even TADA, there are a bunch of apps that you should download beforehand! The Wi-Fi/Data at the Stadium can get quite bad so we recommend downloading these apps early on! You can schedule for a pick-up so it'll reduce the hassle of finding a ride after the concert. The apps will show you where the pick-ups are but if you're confused, the nearest pick-up point is right opposite of Exit B, Stadium MRT.
Transportation - Car
If you're driving, there are a few places you can park! The obvious two are the Singapore Sports Hub carpark or the Kallang Wave Mall carpark. Spots here fill up really fast and you'll also be fighting for spots with people who are coming to the mall just to eat or relax! Another place you can drop your card would be the nearby Kallang Leisure Park carpark! You'll be near Exit B of Stadium MRT.
If you're willing to walk around 10mins, you can park at the Decatholon! The nearby Decathlon has a huge parking space where you can park and cross the road to head towards the stadium. We added the address here for reference!
Psst.. you can cross safely as there are set areas for pedestrian crossing!
Address (Decathlon Kallang): 230 Stadium Boulevard, Singapore 397799

Tips and Tricks To Fully Enjoy Your The Eras Tour Concert Experience
Have a heavy lunch and snacks
You can't bring food into the stadium, and yes there is a stall selling food inside but they're really pricey and not halal. So we highly recommend you to have a heavy lunch and snacks. There is a Kopitiam within Kallang Wave Mall where you can grab either Korean, Japanese or Yong Tau Foo. There are many fast food options too. However, there are a bunch of places you can grab food from here in our list!
If you're standing in line for the General Standing Admission, bring some snacks along with you and a plastic bag to throw your trash in. It's good to munch on sweets and other filling goodies as it can get quite sweaty and hot in the Standing area!
Bring a plastic water bottle to hydrate!
There are confusing rules surrounding what you can and cannot bring into the stadium. As a rule, no glass or steel bottles are allowed into the stadium. However, you can bring a plastic water bottle (recyclable or reusable) but it has to be empty! There are several water coolers around the stadium where you can grab a drink.
Water coolers (100 PLUS Promenade (Level 3)):
- Between Gates 3 and 4
- Between Gates 16 and 16
Water coolers (National Stadium):
- Level 3: Behind Sections 109, 117, 122, 128, 134 and 142
- Level 4: Behind Sections 410, 416, 435 and 441
- Level 6: Behind Sections 608 and 643
Bring a portable fan and a power bank along
It can get really hot and humid, especially if you're stuck in a queue where the rain has just ended and the sun has come out. Fainting can be quite common in concerts here so we recommend you to have a portable fan and a power bank to charge your fan and of course, your devices!
Exchange bracelets with other Swifties!
"So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it," And you should too! With Swifties coming in from all around Southeast Asia, it's an adorable and heart-warming concert tradition that brings us all together. These bracelets can have words, lyrics, album titles or phrases on the bracelets, such as the names of Swift's cats! Walk around and talk to others! Trade your bracelets with others and collect a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stick with you forever!
We hope this guide helps you prepare and have fun during the concert! Remember to stay safe and hydrate!
