Sooner or later, the rugby sevens will have to select a larger venue,
according to the tournament organizers. And Hong Kong had better build a larger one, just for this event. The annual Hong Kong Rugby Sevens is once again a mega-party for rugby fans, sports fans and even investors alike. For a complete tournament three-day pass at the 40,000 seat venue, fans will have to pay US $129 this year, a 20% price hike from the previous year. Despite the unwarranted inflation, demand for tickets is still high--if you bought tickets last minute, anything under US $775 would have been a discount. Only 5,000 seats of Hong Kong's most popular sporting event were available to the public, and were sold out within 4 hours.
