  Singapore Citizen got 2/3 chance in getting NDP tickets, while PR got 1/3 chance.

  Higher chance of getting two tickets (3/6), than four tickets (2/6), or six tickets (1/6).

  This year may be easier to get tickets because this year is at the national stadium, unlike last ten years the NDP was at marina bay.

  Nonetheless, the total capacity is only 165,000 across the three shows (2 preview & 1 actual).

  As of last year June, there are 3,380,000 Singapore Citizens.

  110,000 tickets are for Singapore Citizens, of which 55,000 are for two-tickets applicants, 36,666.66 for four-tickets and 18,333.33 for six-tickets.

  Just made an application for two tickets. I am a Singapore Citizen, so the probability of me getting the tickets is around 33.33% (55,000 / 110,000) - assuming there are just nice 27,500 applicants for two tickets.

  I guess the real probability of getting NDP tickets is only 10%, but hey, this is a once in a life time opportunity, so it's worth the try.

  Actually, I think six-tickets is easier leh. Cuz most people will be like applying for two or four tickets cuz they were told that the lesser the tickets the higher the chance. But, if there is only a small number of people applying for six tickets, the chance of those people getting six tickets is quite high.
