Hong Kong Sevens 2015 Update
Scored Sevens tickets or still scrounging for a pair? Here’s a quick Sevens update to keep you excited.
The Biggest Village
Get your arms in the air you “Macho Men”—the Village People are coming to town for the Hong Kong Sevens. The 70s disco phenomenon will follow the colorful “March Past” parade on Saturday. Expect costumes wild enough to rival those of the South Stand, plus all the classic party anthems. Better get rehearsing your best YMCA moves. What else is new? Sunday fans will be treated to a one-of-a-kind display of Kung Fu Rugby: where “players” who’ve trained under legendary si fu Yeung Pan-pan will fight it out on the pitch.
Balls and Bubbles
The Louis Roederer Champagne Tent is back for the ultimate in glitzy Sevens after-parties, a mere rugby ball’s throw from the stadium. The corks pop just before the final whistle each day and continue until late. Grab your tickets before Feb 20 and they’re just $250.
March 27-29, Indian Recreation Club, 63 Caroline Hill Rd., Causeway Bay. $300 until March 20 from www.ironmongerevents.com; $350 from March 23-26; $400 at the door (subject to availability). Drinks not included.
