The Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) announced that after today's public ticket sale, the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is now officially sold out.
The world-renowned Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens expects to welcome 120,000 spectators over three days from March 23 - 25, 2012.
Following today's sale and the pre-sale period for members of local rugby clubs from adult to mini rugby and other HKRFU stakeholders, 75% of the 40,000 tickets available were sold to local residents.
Mr Trevor Gregory, Chairman of the HKRFU, commented on today's sellout saying, "This year's Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens has once again attracted extraordinary demand and on behalf of the HKRFU, I would like to thank the Hong Kong community for their continued support. The 2012 Hong Kong Sevens will also continue to provide a significant boost to the local economy and Hong Kong's international reputation. We look forward to hosting what we hope will be an even more exciting tournament this year in front of a full house at the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens this March."
The Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2012 will be held from Friday March 23 to Sunday March 25, 2012 at the Hong Kong Stadium.
