Hong Kong Sevens: sell-out crowd for last rugby event at iconic stadium

Tickets were sold out for the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament as it opened on April 5, 2024, for its final run at the Hong Kong Stadium. The first sell-out for the international event since the pandemic comes as it is held for a final time at Hong Kong Stadium, which has hosted the event for 31 years. From 2025, the tournament will be held in a new 50,000-seat venue at Kai Tak Sports Park. This year’s Sevens, running Friday to Sunday, is welcoming overseas fans who snapped up more than 40 per cent of the tickets sold, with some of the strongest attendance from the UK, Australia and Fiji.
