5 days from Ultra Singapore, concert go-ers are waiting for their tickets & the stage allegedly isn't fully set up. 🤨

Ultra Singapore Rumoured To Be Cancelled As Text Circulating Claims Owner Faces 17 Lawsuits

Ultra Singapore 2019 Could Allegedly Be Cancelled Due To Lawsuits Against Owner

Other than ZoukOut, another big music festival that comes to mind would be annual Ultra Singapore.

However, rumours are circulating that Ultra Singapore may not happen this year. Apparently, the event is cancelled due to “fraudulent business practices by the owner”.

Submitted by MS News readers

That is, if a viral text message circulating on social media is to be believed. We have reached out to Ultra Singapore for an official statement on the matter as we hope that speculation, though rife, will be quelled soon.

Netizens are demanding for answers as the event is just 5 days away. In the event that it is cancelled, most would-be concert go-ers just want to know if they’ll be able to get a refund.

Netizen alleges that Ultra’s owner faces 17 lawsuits

The text alleges that the owner of Ultra Singapore, Mr Alex Chew, has not been paying vendors or paying them late for the past 3 years.

Therefore, the vendors have decided to file charges against him. Rumour has it that Mr Chew is allegedly facing 17 different lawsuits.

Presumably, if this text is to be believed, the numerous lawsuits could be taking Mr Chew’s attention away from conducting the event.

Netizen claims stage set-up isn’t completed

But that can’t be the only reason why such a huge event can’t carry on.

The netizen further claims that the stage has yet to be set up — just 5 days before the event. This was after already making the last minute change to hold it in Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre to save on costs.

However, from another source, we see that there has been some stage construction.

But the progress on constructing the venue was allegedly halted since “a week ago”.

A netizen also believes that this could be more than just a rumour as there have been no updates on their social media accounts.

Questions from commentors have largely gone unanswered, but we are expecting an update from them soon.

Tickets have not been issued

Based on an MS News reader who has bought the tickets to the event, Ultra has yet to “send the e-tickets to collect the wristbands”.

In the past, Ultra would have given out the wristbands tickets at least a week prior to the actual event.

The last update our readers have received is that Ultra will be issuing the tickets by end of today.

Fans would be disappointed

This year’s Ultra was highly anticipated by fans. As of Monday (3 Jun) most of the tickets have already been completely sold out.

Each ticket didn’t come cheap either. They ranged from $150 all the way to $238.

But what would really leave fans disappointed would be if was really cancelled. World-famous DJs like Skrillex and Martin Garrix are performing and people are flying over from all over the world to catch them. This experience is something that money just can’t buy.

No official response from Ultra Singapore

While there have been many rumours going around, Ultra Singapore has yet to make an official statement. So we can’t be too quick to judge.

We have reached out to them about the allegations.

Hopefully, Singaporeans fans won’t be disappointed about the cancellation of an event 5 days before it is due to happen.
