Kai Tak Sports Park chief executive Andrew Kam has commented on the increasing popularity of the venue among concert organizers, suggesting that more shows could be held and tickets become more readily available. Fans have complained about difficulties in securing seats for popular acts at the 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium, with some having to resort to secondary market purchases at inflated prices.
Kam explained to RTHK's 'On Broadcast Drive' programme that many organizers are still adjusting to the new venue, leading to a limited number of shows being scheduled. He noted that the ticket shortage primarily affects high-profile artists and popular events, and does not necessarily require a strict real-name system for ticket allocation.
Kam suggested that increasing the number of shows held at Kai Tak Sports Park would help alleviate the ticket issue. He also pointed out that organizers are required by the government to sell at least half of all tickets to the public, and that the sports park makes more tickets available to the general public compared to other venues.
Looking ahead, Kam highlighted an impressive lineup for the upcoming events, featuring global superstars such as BTS, BigBang, Charlie Puth, and Post Malone.
