SINGAPORE: The New Year's Countdown Dance Party, which was scheduled to take place at the world's largest floating platform, has been cancelled.

Organiser MediaCorp said the decision to cancel Party@The Float, to be held at Marina Bay, was due to poor ticket sales.

Tickets for the party had gone on sale from November 28 for S$28, which includes one drink. But only a few hundred tickets were sold.

Those who have bought tickets using their credit cards will automatically get a full refund.

For those who used NETs or cash, refunds can be made at all Sistic outlets.

The star-studded "Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2009", however, will go on as planned at 10.30pm on New Year's Eve.

The warm-up pre-show starts at 9pm.
