The Hong Kong China Rugby Union, organizers of the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, announced today that only a limited number of tickets, less than 500, are still available for the highly anticipated event, which is scheduled to commence on Friday, April 5. The tournament will take place over three consecutive days at the iconic Hong Kong Stadium, bidding its farewell to the venue before moving to the Kai Tak Sports Park in the future.
According to the union, an overwhelming majority of the tickets, over 39,500 out of 40,000, have already been sold, reflecting the immense interest and enthusiasm surrounding the tournament. They anticipate that the remaining tickets will be sold out within the next 24 hours.
The event has garnered significant attention from international tourists, with England, Australia, and Fiji fans contributing to 40 percent of the ticket sales. This represents a substantial increase compared to the respective figures of 23 percent in 2023 and 3 percent in 2022.
Chris Brooke, Chairman of the Hong Kong China Rugby Union, expressed his excitement for the 30th edition of the Rugby Sevens in Hong Kong Stadium. He eagerly anticipates a full house attendance, marking a significant milestone in the aftermath of the pandemic.
To enhance the entertainment value of the tournament, various bands and singers from around the world have been invited to perform. The lineup includes renowned Jamaican reggae band The Wailers, Arnel Pineda, the lead vocalist of American band Journey, as well as local artists like Celine Tam and Lollytalk. Additionally, the famous cheerleaders from Taiwan, the Rakuten Girls, will be present, with eight members boosting the vibrant atmosphere of the competition.
This year's Hong Kong Rugby Sevens promises to be a memorable event, not only due to the immense popularity and ticket sales but also because it represents a significant step forward in the return to normalcy for sporting events in the wake of the pandemic.
