There you go:
The Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) will hold its public ticket sale for the 2008 Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens at the Hong Kong Stadium on Saturday, December 8, 2007.

To accommodate the strong growth in the numbers of local rugby players and supporters in Hong Kong, particularly at youth rugby level, Hong Kong Sevens tickets have been allocated to all HKRFU Member Clubs and HKRFU stakeholders from September 2007.

This policy not only ensures that active and long-term supporters of local rugby enjoy priority access to tickets but also provides an effective channel and incentive for the continued growth of rugby in Hong Kong. Internationally, ticket and accommodation packages are being sold through the HKRFU’s 10 official overseas travel agents and Cathay Pacific, the tournament’s co-title sponsor and official airline.

Mr Allan Payne, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union commented on the policy saying, “The ticketing policy is designed to meet the ever increasing local demand for tickets to the Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens in the most equitable manner possible, while also ensuring that members of the Hong Kong rugby community, who support rugby 365 days a year, enjoy first priority to obtain their tickets.”

5,000 tickets have been allocated for the December 8 Public Ticket Sale which will begin at 11:00am. No event tickets will be sold before 11:00am.

To ensure maximum safety and comfort for people queuing for tickets, the stadium gates will open at 10:30am, or once the queue reaches 1,000 people, by request of the Hong Kong Stadium management and the Hong Kong Police.

Starting from 10:30am, each person in the queue will be admitted for seating inside the Stadium based on their numerical order in the queue. Each participant will be given a special queue number place card before being escorted to a seating area inside the stadium.

Ticket buyers must present their queue number place card when purchasing tickets. Those without their queue number place card will not be able to purchase tickets. Once seated inside the Stadium, the Diamond Vision Screen and public address system will be used to advise queue number place card holders which of the two public ticket sale kiosks they can purchase their tickets from.

My guess is that there are already more than enough people (or their DHs) in the queue at the stadium to buy the whole 5,000 quota.
