Q What do you think of the Harbour Fest's organisation?

Free tickets, with just over half of the seats filled. Just by these simple facts, it's clear that the American Chamber of Commerce did not do a good job in planning and advertising this big event. And there goes our money.

Harbour Fest was a good idea, since Hong Kong rarely has many international superstar concerts. But we are seeing the results of poor advertising, despite the amount of money spent on the event. How is it people do not know about Harbour Fest if there is so much advertising going on?

If Harbour Fest fails, what happens to all the taxpayers' money? Do we get refunds?

AmCham's concept was a good one but it should have shared the financial risk. There is talk of making Harbour Fest an annual event. That's fine, as long as it is not fully sponsored by us taxpayers.

I couldn't believe that AmCham would deny as it did in your report on Friday that it had advertised Joey Yung as appearing on the Asian All-Star night.
