Abby and Sasha were very happy when they read that their favourite K-pop music group "VTS" was coming to perform in Singapore. They rushed down to the National Sports Stadium (NSS) to queue for tickets to the concert. While they were at the NSS counter, they noticed some large yellow posters at the side of the counter. From the corner of her eye, Sasha noticed the words "Terms and Conditions" in bold letters but did not think to check out what the posters said.
