Unhappy concert-goers at Saturday’s (Dec 27) Jay Chou concert have hit out at SportsHub Private Limited (SHPL) after being drenched at the National Stadium.

Some sections of the Sports Hub’s main arena were affected by rain and roof leaks during the concert.

Rain had entered from the west end of the stadium, which is not completely covered by the retractable roof. This resulted in patrons having to use their umbrellas.

Many concert-goers — who had paid between S$108 and S$338 for tickets — took to social media to vent their frustration over their experience.

Apart from the leaks, some complained about the poor sound system, ticketing system and parking at the 55,000-seater venue. Others were also unhappy about getting caught in the rain at the sheltered walkways outside the stadium after the concert.

This latest incident is another blow for the S$1.33 billion Sports Hub, which is addressing ongoing issues with the pitch and the resultant postponement of events.

SHPL and concert promoter Multimedia Entertainment did not comment on whether refunds or compensation would be offered to affected patrons.
