Overview
The SG Culture Pass provides $100 credits to each eligible Singapore Citizen to spend on approved arts and heritage activities such as performances, exhibitions, workshops, tours, and festivals via authorised ticketing platforms. Credits are digital, easy to apply at checkout, and designed to grow audiences for local arts while easing cost barriers for residents.
Eligibility
- Must be a Singapore Citizen aged 18 and above as specified for the 2025 rollout.
- Credits are issued per eligible person and tied to a verified Singpass profile for secure usage.
- Non-citizens are not eligible, and credits cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash.
When credits start and expire
- Launch begins in September 2025, with $100 credited to eligible accounts once the programme opens.
- Credits have a multi‑year validity window, encouraging paced usage across seasons and calendar-year programming.
- Unused balances after expiry are forfeited, so plan ahead for popular festivals and holiday periods.
How to claim step‑by‑step
- Log in to the SG Culture Pass site using Singpass to see available $100 credits and supported partners.
- Complete any quick profile setup prompts, then browse eligible events and click to book via an authorised ticketing partner.
- At payment, choose “SG Culture Pass”; credits will offset the total and any remainder can be topped up by card or PayNow.
Where and how to use
- Use credits on approved performances, exhibitions, learning tours, hands‑on workshops, and heritage events listed through authorised partners.
- Credits apply only to eligible listings; some premium add‑ons, merchandise, or third‑party upsells may not qualify.
- Booking confirmations are sent by the partner; bring digital tickets and ID if required at venue entry.
Maximising value tips
- Filter by price and date to stretch $100 across multiple lower‑cost events instead of one premium show.
- Combine with venue member discounts or seasonal promos where allowed for additional savings.
- Plan around major festivals and free add‑ons to multiply experiences without overspending credit balance.
Troubleshooting and scams
- If credits don’t appear, ensure Singpass details match personal particulars and retry login after clearing cache.
- If credits fail at checkout, verify the event is eligible, the partner is authorised, and that partial top‑ups are enabled.
- Avoid phishing: the programme will not ask for banking details via unsolicited links; only transact on the official site and trusted partners.
Quick FAQs
- Do I need to apply to receive the $100? Credits are available to eligible citizens from the official launch and accessed via Singpass.
- Can I split credits across bookings? Yes, unused balance carries until spent or expired within the validity period.
- Are refunds returned to credits? Partner policies vary; approved refunds typically restore remaining value back to the SG Culture Pass balance.
