A RECORD 17,000 tickets will be available to the Hong Kong public for next year's Sevens at the new 40,000-capacity stadium.

Organisers are sticking to the formula employed for the last two years of selling the tickets on a specific date at a chosen venue.

Last time, about 13,000 tickets were allocated to the Hong Kong public.

Tickets will go on sale at Victoria Park at 8 am on January 30, and another picnic-type queue is expected to start forming on the night before the booths open.

Of 14,800 adult and 2,200 child tickets available to the public, 9,000 will be for members of rugby clubs and 8,000 sold at Victoria Park.

While 13,000 tickets will be distributed overseas, 1,500 go to Wembley's 50 executive suite holders and a further 1,500 are available for players, press and roving seats.

The remaining 7,000 are for Hong Kong Rugby Football Union's patrons.
