Party @ The Float cancelled but countdown to go on as usual

The New Year's Countdown Dance Party, which was to have taken place at the world's largest floating platform, has been cancelled. Organiser MediaCorp said the decision to cancel Party@The Float, to be held at Marina Bay, was due to poor ticket sales. Tickets for the party had gone on sale on November 28 for S$28, which includes one drink. But only a few hundred tickets were sold. Those who have bought tickets using their credit cards will automatically get a full refund. For those who used NETs or cash, refunds can be made at all Sistic outlets. Details are available at sistic.com.sg.

The star-studded "Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2009" however, will go on as planned at 10.30pm on New Year's Eve. The warm-up pre-show starts at 9pm.
