Why you can trust SCMP
Are you the type that wants to see shows at the Hong Kong Arts Festival every year but always puts off actually buying tickets until it's too late? Well, consider this an official reminder, because the festival announced that more than 50,000 tickets have been sold during its six-week advanced booking period. That's roughly 55 per cent of all the seats for all the shows.
