Enterprising Singaporeans are enterprising.

One Carousell user, known as "kox koh", had put up more than 10 posts to sell National Day Parade 2015 tickets.

Prices ranged between $200 and $400.

According to The Straits Times, one $400 ticket, listed on Friday (June 26), was captioned "actual day, padang".

The last post was put up on Sunday (June 28), touting "n/.s/.p tick" at $250.

However, it appears the user has since deleted his account. But you can still view the cached version of the page here.

About 100,000 NDP tickets are available this year, for a Aug. 1 preview and the actual show on Aug. 9.

The tickets are free but members of the public had to participate in a ballot to get them.

Successful applicants collected their tickets from June 5 to 14.

Although sale of the tickets is prohibited, some sellers in previous years have tried getting around the prohibition by offering the tickets "free" with other items, such as Hello Kitty toys.
