That is pathetic for a stadium that has a 40000 capacity that only 3000 tickets would be available for public, STOP giving the tickets away to tom dick and harry sponsors who in turn sell the tickets or dont even bother coming, allocate more tickets to the public FFSThe Hong Kong Rugby Football Union blamed soaring operating costs in the millions of dollars in the past few seasons as the Cathay Pacific/HSBC tournament has been enlarged to 28 teams.
We have had to increase the ticket prices to safeguard the financial viability of Hong Kong rugby
Vern Reid, HKRFU chief executive
The quota of tickets available to the public will remain at 3,000
I think it was about $300 the first year I went, and that was at the Government Stadium, so far fewer seats.
And still only 3,000 for the Hong Kong public...
It's a Banker/Lawyer/Pilot kinda event (and 20sthg that wanna get drunk) with a few rugby amateurs....what do you expect?
It's the party of the year, it's got nothing to do with Rugby. I'm pretty sure above 50% of the crowd never seen a game in their life before (or after).
Never been to one, and won' t be going in future either...Just the stories and pictures of southstand were enough for me.
Arent quite a large % of tickets allocated and distributed to the rugby clubs and members of the HKRFU therefore going to those people who actually like to watch the rugby.
