Mainland Chinese visitors are expected to flock to Hong Kong in January next year for two concerts by K-pop superstars Blackpink, with fans trying to work out how to get their hands on tickets, the cheapest way to watch the shows and whether tour stops such as Singapore may be a better bet to see the girl group.
The group’s agency, YG Entertainment, this week revealed that Blackpink’s “Deadline” world tour would end at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium, following stops in South Korea, Taiwan, Bangkok, the Philippines, Singapore and Tokyo.

The four-member group – comprising Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rose – will also be performing in Europe and North America over the summer, with the news sending Blinks – a term used to describe the group’s most devoted fans – into a frenzy.

Tickets for Blackpink’s two shows at Kai Tak Sports Park’s main stadium are priced from HK$699 (US$90), while the most expensive VIP package costs HK$3,499, as local promoter Live Nation revealed the seat map for their stage on Friday.

Ticket sales will start on June 10 in an official fan club presale, followed by a Visa credit card presale and booking platform Trip.com presale.
