Timing it right
- Eat at least 90 minutes before doors. Everything within five minutes of a venue is swamped in the hour before a show, and hawker stalls sell out rather than queue.
- Hawker centres are cash-friendly but increasingly cashless; PayNow QR and contactless cards work at most stalls, and there are ATMs in the malls near every major venue.
- Most venues don’t let you bring food or sealed drinks in — finish outside, then join the queue.
