For our 12th edition, we'll be back at the F1 Pit Building! This time we're back with longer sessions for you to slowly enjoy tasting a wide array of sake and other Japanese beverages.
Your ticket includes unlimited sake and spirits tastings featuring over 500 selections from more than 100 breweries and distilleries, plus a complimentary tasting glass. You’ll also receive access to all festival zones, including the inaugural Japan HopFest. Additionally, your ticket grants access to exclusive masterclasses (limited seating; advance registration required, with priority access for VIP pass holders).
Limited tickets may be available at the door, but we strongly recommend purchasing in advance online. The event typically sells out 1-2 weeks before the festival date. Door prices are also higher than early bird and advance purchase rates.
All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. However, tickets are transferable - you can transfer your ticket to another person by contacting our support team at least 48 hours before the event with the new attendee's details.
Yes, Sake Matsuri is a rain or shine event. The festival features both indoor and outdoor spaces. In case of heavy rain, outdoor activities and performances will be moved to covered areas. The sake tasting areas are primarily indoors and will not be affected by weather.
Children and teenagers under the age of 18 can enter free of charge but must be accompanied by an adult at all times. They may enter without a ticket, but will not be given a wristband and tasting glass. A valid ID may be requested for alcohol service.
No, each ticket is valid for a specific time slot to ensure a comfortable experience for all guests. Please respect your designated session time. If you wish to stay longer, you may purchase an additional session ticket subject to availability.
Registration takes place at the Main Festival Entrance, located at the F1 Pit Building, Level 1 (#01-01). Look for the Sake Matsuri welcome banners and registration booths. Registration opens 30 minutes before each session, with doors opening at the session start time. Please have your ticket confirmation with the QR code ready. A valid photo ID may be requested upon check-in.
Your festival wristband will be issued at the registration desk after your ticket is verified. The wristband must be worn at all times during the festival and grants access to all included areas and activities for your purchased session. VIP ticket holders will receive a specially colored wristband for VIP lounge access. Wristbands must not be removed, as they cannot be replaced. Guests wearing a wristband for an incorrect session may be asked to leave to allow access for ticket holders of that session.
Late arrivals will still be admitted to their purchased session, however, your session end time remains unchanged. For example, if you have a 4pm - 7pm session and arrive at 6pm, you will still need to exit by 7pm. We recommend arriving at least 5 minutes before your session starts to allow time for registration and to maximise your festival experience. No refunds or extensions will be provided for late arrivals.
We encourage cashless payments for faster service. Each vendor sets their own accepted payment methods, which may include credit cards and PayNow. Availability of payment options may vary by vendor.
Ride-hailing services can drop you off at F1 Pit Building. Use the designated pick-up and drop-off points at Level 1.
The nearest MRT station is Promenade. From Exit A, it’s approximately a 10-15 minute walk to the venue.
We appreciate responsible drinking! Designated drivers should park at Singapore Flyer, as parking is not available at the F1 Pit Building. Upon arrival, designated drivers may register at the information booth to receive a complimentary designated driver pass for event access. They are welcome to enter the festival area while accompanying ticketed guests but will not receive a wristband or a complimentary tasting glass.
