If you have SG Culture Pass credits, you can use them for 15% off tickets to Only Kumar Can, Kumar’s new comedy and drag production at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands from 6 to 23 May 2027. The catch is the window, because organisers Base Entertainment Asia and RA RA Productions list the Culture Pass pre-sale as running only from 13 to 15 November 2026, three days before tickets open to everyone on 16 November.
That makes this a rare chance to lock in seats for a big Bayfront show six months ahead while spending credits instead of cash. There are a few exclusions, though, and if you carry a UOB card, the maths changes.
Three Days, Three Exclusions
The pre-sale is on SISTIC only. You won’t find it on Klook or Marina Bay Sands Ticketing, so head straight to SISTIC if Culture Pass credits are your plan.
The 15% discount applies to all seat categories except three groups: the UOB categories, the D Reserve seats, and every Saturday performance. Two of those exclusions matter more than they look. The S$68 D Reserve Grand Circle seats are the cheapest in the house, and Saturday is the only day with two evening-friendly slots (4pm and 8pm).
In practice, the cheapest seats you can buy with the Culture Pass discount are C Reserve or C Reserve Grand Circle, listed at S$78 off-peak. Fifteen per cent off that listed price comes to S$66.30 before booking fees. That’s roughly the same as a full-price D Reserve seat, but closer to the stage. Because the production uses dynamic pricing, the figure at checkout may differ from the listed one.
Our pick for Culture Pass holders is a Wednesday to Friday 8pm show or a Sunday 1pm or 4pm matinee. All of these qualify for the discount. The Sunday 1pm slot is worth a look if you’d rather not rush from work to Bayfront.
Got a UOB Card? Do the Maths
UOB (United Overseas Bank) is the official bank partner for Only Kumar Can, and its deals are more generous than the Culture Pass offer. The UOB x Klook Priority Access window has been running on Klook since 12 November, from 10am to 11.59pm daily, with 20% off all categories and performances.
The UOB Pre-sale opened today across Marina Bay Sands Ticketing, SISTIC and Klook, running from 8am to 11.59pm daily. It offers the same 20% off with no exclusions, and both UOB windows stay open until 13 December.
Here’s the honest take. If you hold a UOB card and want a Saturday show or the S$68 seats, the UOB route wins on every count. Culture Pass makes sense when you’d rather spend credits than your own money, since the credits soften the cost even if the percentage is smaller.
Klook users without either option can try the Klook Exclusive Early Bird Pre-sale, which runs from 13 November to 13 December, 12pm to 11.59pm, with 10% off everything except the UOB categories. The Public General Sale opens across all three platforms from 12am on 16 November.
Every Seat, Every Price
- Premium Front Row: S$158 / S$168
- VIP: S$138 / S$148
- A Reserve: S$118 / S$128
- B Reserve Centre and B Reserve: S$98 / S$108
- C Reserve and C Reserve Grand Circle: S$78 / S$88
- D Reserve Grand Circle and Obstructed View, D Reserve Grand Circle: S$68 at both off-peak and peak
- UOB Dress Circle: S$128 / S$138
- UOB VIP Box (4 seats): S$552 / S$592
- Grand Circle Box (4 seats): S$472 / S$512
The box seats work out to S$118 per person off-peak in the Grand Circle Box, which is the same as an A Reserve seat. That’s a nice option for a group of four who want their own space, although Culture Pass users can only apply the discount if the box isn’t in the UOB category.
What You’re Paying For
The material comes from everyday life here: relationships, money, technology, and the small frustrations every Singaporean knows. The production combines comedy, drag, dance and music. It brings together drag queens from different houses, the collectives that drag performers belong to, and adds an ensemble cast and crew led by Singaporean talent.
There are about 150 costumes on the Sands Theatre stage. The show runs 110 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. That’s a full evening without dragging on.
Seven Shows and Counting
Only Kumar Can is the seventh consecutive collaboration between Kumar, Base Entertainment Asia and RA RA Productions. The earlier shows were Kumar Unmasked (2021), Kumar Locksdown (2022), Kumar Guilty (2023), Kumar Uncut (2024), S.O.S. Kumar (2025) and Kumar Got Balls (2026).
If you missed one along the way, our write-up from when Kumar returned to the stage for Kumar Uncut gives a sense of how big these productions have become. After seven years, the annual Kumar show has become a fixture on the local calendar, which is why the early windows matter.

If your Culture Pass credits have been sitting unused, this weekend’s SISTIC window is a good way to spend them on a seat closer to the action. A Sunday matinee with friends in May sounds like a fine way to laugh at ourselves, and it makes sense to get those credits in before the pre-sale closes at 11.59pm on 15 November!
