You must have the Kris+ app to register for the presale, as registration is via the Challenges section.
Once the presale goes live, you will need to purchase tickets via Ticketmaster Singapore with a Mastercard credit or debit card. Each member can purchase up to six tickets across all categories.

Redeem miles for tickets via Pelago
KrisFlyer members will be able to redeem miles for tickets, and what’s interesting is that unlike past concerts with Lady Gaga or OneRepublic, redemption this time round will not be through the KrisFlyer Experiences portal, but Pelago.
Tickets will be available at the following rates:
| Category | Cost |
| Category 1 | 82,000 miles For 2 tickets |
| Category 2 | 74,000 miles For 2 tickets |
| Category 3 | 66,000 miles For 2 tickets |
| Category 4 | 58,000 miles For 2 tickets |
| Tickets must be redeemed in pairs, or in groups of four tickets | |
Redemptions go live on 19 May 2026 at the following times:
- 10 a.m for Solitaire PPS Club, PPS Club, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold members
- 12 p.m for KrisFlyer and KrisFlyer Elite Silver members
Each member is limited to a total of six tickets per show date. Seat selection will not be available for tickets redeemed via Pelago, and will be assigned by Ticketmaster Singapore.
Based on the ticket prices, you can expect to get slightly under 1 cent per KrisFlyer mile. That’s not great value, but it could be one of those situations where it’s about access, not value. If tickets do sell out quickly, you might not be able to buy them publicly even if you’re willing to pay the asking price.
Redeeming tickets through Pelago may be the only realistic chance you have, especially if you have elite status that gives you a two-hour head start over everyone else.
Conclusion
KrisFlyer members will receive access to a special presale for Jay Chou’s upcoming Singapore concert, and have the opportunity to redeem miles for tickets.
Redeeming miles might be the better route to take, since it cuts out a lot of the competition. Moreover, if you’re a Solitaire PPS Club, PPS Club or KrisFlyer Elite Gold member, you get access to tickets two hours ahead of time.
