Tickets will first be assigned to all HKRFU Member Clubs to ensure all their members are given priority for tickets and to encourage their memberships to continue to grow. The number of tickets allocated to each club will be based on certain criteria but maximum distribution will be 'capped' at 2 tickets per club member.
Following the successful and highly enjoyable Sevens Festival held last December, when a limited number of RWC Sevens tickets were sold to supporters as they enjoyed a day of rugby in the Hong Kong Stadium, the HKRFU will once again use this method for early ticket sales to Hong Kong residents.
The HKRFU will again appoint Official Travel Agents and Cathay Pacific, the official airline will be supplied tickets for overseas travel packages; the list of the agents officially promoting the Tournament around the world is attached. Tickets will not be available on the internet.
As there will not be the need for an allocation of tickets to the International Rugby Board or Rugby World Cup Ltd in 2006, more tickets will be available for local supporters.
The HKRFU have determined to use this model of ticket distribution - slightly adapted from the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2005 format in order to meet the "sold out" demand that has existed for the past four years and in doing so ensure members of the Hong Kong rugby community and local sevens supporters get the first chance to obtain tickets.
Pricing
The ticket price for the Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse First Boston Hong Kong Sevens 2006 will be HK$880 per adult and HK$300 per child up to the age of 12 years old.
