Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer tightens its grip on live music access with OneRepublic 2026 show after Jacky Cheung sell-out momentum

(NEWS) SINGAPORE, 2025-Nov-10 — /Travel PR News/ — KrisFlyer, the loyalty programme of the Singapore Airlines Group, is extending its footprint in live entertainment with priority access for members to OneRepublic’s From Asia, With Love Tour stop at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 2 March 2026. The move follows a string of high-profile music tie-ups, including Presenting Sponsor status for Jacky Cheung’s 60+ Concert Tour 2025 in Singapore, underscoring the programme’s strategy to offer benefits that reach beyond air travel.

The Grammy-nominated American pop-rock band behind Counting Stars and Apologize — and a track titled Singapore — is slated for a high-energy set, while KrisFlyer members receive a head start on tickets and limited VIP perks. “KrisFlyer continuously delivers exciting and exclusive experiences for members,” said Mr Dai Haoyu, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines. “This partnership with OneRepublic’s highly anticipated concert represents our commitment to creating an unforgettable experience that goes beyond travel, connecting our members with world-class entertainment.”

That positioning mirrors the playbook KrisFlyer deployed for Jacky Cheung’s November 2025 run at the same venue. As Presenting Sponsor for the “God of Songs,” KrisFlyer provided members with exclusive early access to shows on 21, 22, and 23 November 2025 — a premium that matched surging demand for the Cantopop icon known for emotive vocals and arena-scale stagecraft. “By offering priority access to top-tier artists from around the globe, we continually expand the programme’s appeal beyond travel,” Mr Dai said of the Jacky Cheung partnership.

For OneRepublic’s 2 March 2026 concert, the KrisFlyer Presale opens on 18 November 2025 at 12:00 hrs Singapore time via Ticketmaster, limited to Mastercard credit or debit card payments. Members must register and opt into KrisFlyer and SIA Group email communications by 13 November 2025 at 10:59 hrs to receive a unique access code and private link by 16 November 2025 at 23:59 hrs. Mileage redemptions for Categories 1, 2, 3 and 5 — plus Gold VIP and Early Entry — start on 18 November 2025 through the KrisFlyer Experiences site, with tiered windows at 12:00 hrs for Solitaire PPS Club, supplementary cardholders, PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold, and 14:00 hrs for KrisFlyer Elite Silver and KrisFlyer members.

Redemption rates for OneRepublic are set at 16,000 miles for a single Category 1 standing ticket, 50,000 miles for a pair of Category 2 seated tickets, 40,000 miles for a pair of Category 3 seated tickets, and 50,000 miles for a pair of Category 5 seated tickets. Category 1 standing Gold VIP packages and Early Entry packages can be redeemed at 35,000 miles and 20,000 miles respectively for single tickets, while a VIP Experience package involving artist participation will be released in December 2025 at 18,000 miles, exclusively for members who have already redeemed concert tickets via KrisFlyer Experiences. Categories 2, 3 and 5 are redeemable only in pairs or groups of four; only Category 1 standing, Gold VIP and Early Entry may be redeemed individually. A Ticketmaster account is required and is capped at six tickets total per account across categories, dates and purchase methods.

The approach echoes the Jacky Cheung sales and redemption model earlier in the year. For the 60+ Concert Tour 2025 in Singapore, KrisFlyer Priority Sale began on 2 July 2025 at 10:00 hrs SGT for Category 1–5 tickets priced S$168–S$388 via Ticketmaster with Mastercard, with eligibility tied to advance registration and marketing opt-ins. Miles redemption on KrisFlyer Experiences opened the same day at 10:00 hrs for Solitaire PPS Club, supplementary cardholders, PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold, and 13:00 hrs for KrisFlyer Elite Silver and general members, priced at 80,000 miles for a pair of Category 1 tickets, 68,000 for Category 2 and 60,000 for Category 3. Each Ticketmaster account was limited to four tickets across all dates and methods — an allocation that signalled strong demand management for a blockbuster weekend.

Together with earlier collaborations — Ed Sheeran’s The + – = ÷ × Tour in February 2024, Stefanie Sun’s 25th-anniversary concerts in April 2025 and Lady Gaga’s Singapore dates in May 2025 — the OneRepublic tie-in rounds out a two-year run of marquee partnerships that position KrisFlyer as a gateway to top-tier music in Singapore. For members planning ahead, the key dates are 13 November 2025 for registration cut-off and 18 November 2025 for presale and miles redemptions; for November concertgoers, Jacky Cheung’s three-night engagement remains the flagship moment that set the template for KrisFlyer’s entertainment-led benefits.
