This discount is only applicable for Adult tickets.

Hence, fans are highly encouraged to purchase their tickets early and via the online sales channel.
With the tournament reverting to the home-and-away format, the Lions will face their Group B opponents at home in a venue that was last used in 2012 for this regional showpiece, when the Lions went on to became champions for the fourth time. JBS was one of the two competition venues submitted by the FAS to the AFF as part of the host nation’s obligations. While the start date of the competition was earlier expected to be in January 2023, the finalised match dates mean the National Stadium is unable to host the group stage games as the venue has committed to other events. The National Stadium, originally booked for all matches in the month of January 2023, will be the venue for the home legs of the semi-finals and finals for the Lions should they progress accordingly in this tournament.
The away matches against Laos and Malaysia, the other two teams in Group B, will be played on 27 December 2022 and 3 January 2023 respectively. As part of their preparations for the AFF tournament, the Lions will face the Maldives in an international ‘A’ friendly at home at the JBS on 17 December 2022. Tickets for this game will also be available from 5 December 2022, 12 pm via www.go.gov.sg/fastickets and will be priced at S$20 for adults and S$12 for children respectively.
