Yang Chenguang, a 29-year-old Chinese national, was sentenced to 3 months' jail.

A screenshot of a purported VIP ticket to Taylor Swift's concert sent by the concert cheat to a woman who had agreed to buy three tickets.

On March 28, the 29-year-old Chinese national was sentenced to three months’ jail after he pleaded guilty to one charge of criminal trespass and another for cheating.Deputy Public Prosecutor Darren Ang said Yang arrived in Singapore on March 1 on a social visit pass and did not bring personal luggage with him – he wore the same set of clothing for the entire time that he remained here.

“Further, the number 4 on the 4 March screenshot was uncharacteristically large, and was likely to have been artificially added.” Yang then alerted Li Xiaowei, a 45-year-old Chinese national, whom he had met outside the gate earlier. DPP Ang said this was done to distract the officer from Li and the three women, who were about to sneak into the stadium.
