‘A war zone': Mercury Festival draws backlash after attendees wait hours to enter

Popular art and thrift market Mercury Festival drew large crowds to Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre from Jun 5 to 7, but many attendees criticised its virtual queue system.

As queue numbers reportedly topped 9,000, some described the experience as chaotic and not worth the trip. Organisers later apologised for the long waits and for closing the queue early. #singapore #sgnews
