He then helped distract a security officer while Yan tailgated a concertgoer passing through a turnstile gate in front of him at the National Stadium on March 7, 2024.Wu, a Chinese national, pleaded guilty to one count of intending to cheat security officers into believing that Yan had a valid concert ticket, so that the officers would allow Yan entry.
Concertgoers were required to undergo two security checks at the Singapore Sports Hub before entering the National Stadium. These were a Person Check Security and a turnstile gate where they would have to scan their tickets. They later passed through the Person Check Security, and Wu handed Yan a lanyard with the prints"VIP" and"Taylor Swift The Eras Tour” attached to a card.
“Instead, Yan could tailgate any of the other concertgoers while they were passing through the turnstile gate, and if he was stopped by the security officers, Yan could still enter the National Stadium by presenting the lanyard and wristband to the officers and informing the officers that he had friends inside the National Stadium,” said Deputy Public Prosecutor Darren Ang.
Yan entered the area but was spotted by another security officer who escorted him out. The incident was captured by closed-circuit television cameras.
