Tickets for English football club Manchester United’s match in Hong Kong next month went on general sale on Friday, with most in the lower-priced categories being snapped up in the first two hours.
They went on public sale at 12pm Hong Kong time from local ticket vendor Cityline, priced from HK$390 to HK$2,990 (US$50 to US$385).
Checks by the Post found that tickets priced HK$390 and HK$690 – limited to small sections in the upper corners of the stadium – sold out first. The remaining seats in the venue’s upper level, costing up to HK$1,390, showed limited supply as of early afternoon.
Those priced HK$1,990 to HK$2,990, for seats closer to the pitch, remained fully available.
United on Thursday vowed to bring their leading players for the friendly match, while promoter Paul Kam, whose company ProEvents is organising it, hinted there was a contractual stipulation that star names would be involved.
