It's a bit early but..

I know they go on sale from hkticketing on January 16th but I'd just like to know how much (usually) is 3 days? And is it hard to secure tickets from hkticketing online on the day they start selling to the public or will they be gone very quickly?

Thanks =)

They're HK$1250. The initial sale will be gone very quickly, but a large number of them to touts/scalopers. Moreover, a load of th toickets allocated to the corporate sponsors and boxes find their way onto the market in the couple of weeks before the event. In the 10 years I have been here it has never been necessary to pay more than, say, 10-15% over the face value to get tickets in the last few days, and it's often possible to get them for free or for a few beers if you know any people in companies that have large corporate allocations (or their customers).

How hard will they be to get on the day they start selling from hkticketing??

You'd need to be persistent and lucky. They will sell out within a couple of hours.

But, again, you'll be able to get them in the week before the event (or in the street on the way to the ground) at anything from gratis to about 20% above face value.
