Payment


1. Verified By Visa - MasterCard Secure Code

Verified by Visa provides extra protection to ensure that only you can use your Visa / Mastercard to make purchases online. Most banks in Singapore already use the OTP system (One-Time Password). You just need to make sure that you have registered your most active mobile phone number with the bank issuing your Visa card. Don't forget to take your mobile phone with you when making an online purchase to receive an OTP. If your Visa card and online shop or site where you shop are supported by Verified by Visa, you will receive a One-Time Password (OTP) or a One-Time Password that will be sent to your cellular telephone number registered by your bank.


2. What should I do to get an OTP?

Check with the bank issuing your Visa card, whether your Visa card has Verified Visa / Mastercard secure code. Make sure that your most active mobile phone number is already registered with your Visa / Mastercard card issuing bank.


3. What payment methods are available to order tickets?

Currently the available payment method is a Credit Card. We will add other payment options in the near future.


4. When I enter my credit card information, the website asks for a CVV code. What is the CVV code?

The CVV is a 3 or 4 digit code embossed or imprinted on the reverse side of Visa and MasterCard credit cards. This is an extra security measure to ensure that you have access or physical possession of the credit card itself in order to use the CVV code.

  • For Visa and MasterCard credit cards, the CVV is a 3 digit number embossed or imprinted on the reverse side of the card.
  • For American Express cards, the CVV is the 4 digit number on the front right hand side of the card above the card number.
  • For State Bank of India (SBI) cards, there is a 19 digit number printed on the front of the credit card, of which the first 16 digits are the credit card number and the last three digits are the CVV code.


5. My booking has been rejected, but my credit card has been charged? What do I do?

This is a very rare situation, and can occur in case of a network fluctuation at the venue at the time of confirming the transaction. In this case, a reverse request for the charge on your card will be sent by us the same day to the bank.


6. The refund has still not been credited in my credit card account.

As per our company policy, we send a reverse request to the bank by the end of the day. Depending on each bank's policy, it can sometimes take up to 15 working days for the reversal to take effect.


7. Can I book my tickets without my credit card since I don't want to disclose my credit card details?

All credit card and debit card payments are processed through secure and trusted payment gateways managed by leading Indian banks. Banks in India now use the 3D Secure password service for online transactions, providing an additional layer of security through identity verification.
