The Hong Kong Rugby
Football Union publicizes another sell-out for the world famous Hong Kong Rugby Sevens tournament. Only 4,000 tickets reserved for public sale were spread
today via the HKRFU’s first ever public ticket ballot. At the close of the
registration period for the ballot, on Monday 4th February, a total of 25,154
ballots were received applying for 49,602 tickets. Of the applications
received, 95% requested to purchase the maximum individual allocation of two
event tickets, should their ballots be drawn. The demand for an additional
49,602 Sevens tickets over and above the 36,000 tickets distributed to date,
clearly surpasses the 40,000-seat capacity of the Hong Kong Stadium. The HKRFU welcomes the
continued strong public demand for the Hong Kong Sevens Tickets. The public ballot has
helped us to more accurately quantify the demand for Sevens tickets for the
first time. This information is an important verification in our drive to work
with all relevant parties for the development of a larger stadium in Hong Kong.
The public demand for Hong
Kong Rugby Sevens Tickets far exceeds the capacity of the Hong Kong Stadium but
the HKRFU is hopeful that the switch to a public ballot has at least offered
all applicants an equal opportunity to purchase tickets, whilst at the same
time offering a more convenient method for interested spectators to apply for
these tickets. The ballot draw was
held on Thursday 7th February from 1.00 to 4.00pm. The draw, which was attended
by a representative of Price Waterhouse Coopers, was conducted via an
electronic random number generating system developed by the Hong Kong Jockey
Club and verified by BMM Compliance, a long-established and experienced private
independent gaming certification lab.
Successful applicants will now have two
weeks to pay for their tickets Thursday, 7th February - Thursday, 21st February
2013. Ticket distribution will start in the week commencing Monday, 4th March,
via collection from the Box Office at Hong Kong Stadium. With the hosting of 28
international teams for the first time in the event’s 38-year history, the 2013
Hong Kong Sevens promises to be the biggest and best Hong Kong Sevens ever. The
official tournament draw will be held on Thursday, 21st February 2013, in Hong
Kong. 2013 Hong Kong Sevens started from 22 March
2013 at Hong Kong Stadium. Buy Hong Kong Rugby Sevens 2013 Tickets online at
