Sports Hub: How to get there
Sports Hub: How to get there
With 30,000 people expected to converge at the Singapore Sports Hub for multiple events next weekend, organisers on Thursday (June 19) outlined their plans on how the public can access the venue.
The Sports Hub is easily accessible by various transport modes. Three MRT stations - Stadium, Mountbatten and Kallang - are within walking distance. Seven bus services and three taxi stands provide more options. Major expressways also feed into the multiple entry and exit points which serve the hub.
Those who plan to drive to the new National Stadium when there is an event happening there should remember to buy their parking tickets first. Without one, you will not be able to park at the Stadium.
"During event days in the National Stadium, no parking is available unless you buy a pre-purchased parking lot," said Mr Eric Tan, Managing Director of DTZ. "You need to go to our website to purchase the parking lot. When you arrive, display your decal and we will guide you to your lot. If you do not pre-purchase, there will be no lots for anyone who tries to find a parking lot."
The pre-purchase is only for some 800 lots located within the National Stadium. You still have more than 3,000 other parking lots to choose from at the Sports Hub, the Singapore Indoor Stadium and Kallang Leisure Park Mall.
Members of the public can purchase the pre-sold parking on a first-come-first-served basis at www.sportshubtix.sg or at all Singapore Post outlets. Each ticket costs $10.70 and is valid from 7am of the event day till 7am the next morning.
Organisers have also printed a guide map to inform the public about how to access the Sports Hub. 50,000 copies will be distributed to residents living around the Stadium, and more copies will be made available island-wide.
There is also a hotline (6653-8900) and website (www.sportshub.com.sg) where similar information is available. For the whole of July, members of the public can try out the facilities in the hub free of charge - the free trials will cover various indoor games as well as swimming and kayaking.

StarHub extends deadline for BPL cross-carriage orders
StarHub extends deadline for BPL cross-carriage orders
StarHub on Tuesday extended the deadline for Barclays Premier League (BPL) cross-carriage orders, saying that it is ready to deploy more resources to help subscribers who sign up for BPL matches have their channels activated in time for the new season.
It added that it must receive cross-carriage provisioning orders from SingTel by 15 August 7pm in order to do so.
The new league season begins Saturday with Liverpool playing Stoke City at 7.45pm Singapore time.
StarHub said it is doing this despite the cross-carriage regime which allows it five working days to process all orders.
It received the first batch of valid orders from SingTel on Monday.
Customers who wish to take up the BPL package with StarHub will need to first sign up with SingTel.
SingTel said in a separate statement that customers must sign up by 4pm Thursday to catch first match.

Standalone EPL channels to cost $59.90 per month for both SingTel and StarHub viewers
SingTel has announced on Friday the new price plans for the upcoming season of the English Premier League (EPL) which kicks off on August 17.
The ala-carte EPL content, with nine channels, will cost $59.90 per month for both SingTel mio TV users as well as StarHub's pay TV customers, the latter which SingTel is obliged to provide under the cross-carriage regulations.
The price is significantly higher than its old $34.90 per month sports bundle which came with EPL channels, Champions League and other sports content.
However, existing mio TV customers who are still on contract will get to enjoy the old price plan until the expiry of their contracts.

SingTel announces pricing of BPL subscription
SingTel announces pricing of BPL stand-alone subscription
SingTel has announced the pricing for the next season of the Barclays Premier League (BPL), saying that majority of its BPL customers will be "unaffected".
The pricing for EPL stand-alone subscriptions will be at S$59.90, while existing mio TV Gold Packs are still available from S$64.90, said the announcement.
As only stand-alone content will be cross-carried, the stand-alone subscriptions will also be available on StarHub's pay-TV platform also at S$59.90 a month. Gold Packs will not be cross-carried after the Media Development Authority (MDA) decided that bundles were exempt from cross-carrying.
The new pricing "applies only to new subscriptions or those customers who are renewing their contracts", said SingTel.
SingTel will also be making the BPL available to more fans with screenings at community centres, but will release more information on these plans later. SingTel has added that it will spend S$100 million to enhance the quality and reliability of its service.
Meanwhile, SingTel also said that it "expresses disappointment with the Minister’s decision to not grant its appeal against the directive by MDA" for the cross-carriage of BPL content, but added that it respects the Minister's decision even though it believes that the BPL rights contract is "non-exclusive".
“We have made every effort to ensure our representation was heard because we believed that this was in the best interest of football fans. mio TV was set up to give customers choice and breathe new life into sports coverage. Our intention was to give customers certainty of content at competitive prices,” said Mr Allen Lew, Country Chief Officer-Singapore, SingTel.

SingNet's appeal against cross-carrying BPL rejected
SingNet's appeal against cross-carrying BPL live matches rejected
The Minister for Communications and Information has rejected SingNet's appeal against cross-carrying Barclay's Premier League live matches over the next three seasons.
This means SingNet now has to make the live matches that are to be played from 2013/2014 to 2015/2016 available on StarHub's platform.
A ministry statement said the decision was made after careful consideration of the written arguments from both SingNet and the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA), which had issued the direction on cross-carriage of the matches.
It added that the decision was made based on the assessment of a number of factors, including whether clauses in the agreement between SingNet and the Football Association Premier League Limited would prevent or restrict the BPL content from being acquired or otherwise obtained for transmission on selected network platforms in Singapore by other pay-TV operators.
It noted that the key objectives of the Cross-Carriage Measure include addressing the high degree of content fragmentation and encouraging pay-TV operators to shift from a content-centric strategy to other forms of competition, such as service and content innovation.
It said pay-TV operators should keep this in mind and continue to provide better value to the consumers.
The statement suggested that MDA should consider providing further guidance on the circumstances that may trigger the Cross-Carriage Measure so that pay-TV operators can provide more certainty to consumers.

Early-bird sales of F1 Singapore GP tickets
Early-bird sales of F1 Singapore GP tickets
Fans of the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix can buy tickets from Wednesday, with 65,000 general three-day tickets on sale for the early birds.
They will enjoy significant savings and new initiatives for the sixth instalment of the world's only Formula One night race on 20, 21 and 22 September.
As in previous years, race promoter Singapore GP will release the tickets in two phases: the early-bird phase from 20 February to 30 April, and the regular phase from 1 May.
About 85 per cent of the ticket categories on offer are priced the same or lower than in 2012.
Fans can look forward to savings of up to 30 per cent if they buy early as a group under the Group Booking Special scheme.
In response to popular demand, Singapore GP is offering an additional combination package for spectators to explore different parts of the Circuit Park on each of the three days.
Fans can opt for the new Zone 1 Walkabout combination package that consists of a Pit Grandstand ticket for both Friday and Saturday, as well as a Sunday Premier Walkabout ticket at only S$688 during the early-bird phase.
The Turn 1, Padang and Bay combination packages will still be available from S$398 to S$788 at early-bird price.
Following the sell-out success of the Turn 3 Premier Grandstand last year, an additional Premier Grandstand has been launched.
It offers spectators the chance to witness possible overtaking opportunities at the Memorial (Turn 7) up-close.
Tickets are priced at S$1,598 for the Turn 7 Premier Grandstand @ Stamford and S$2,128 for the Turn 3 Premier Grandstand.
