A Post reporter who visited ticket booking platform Cityline at 10am when sales opened gained access to purchasing options only after a few minutes.
However, most dates and price categories were listed as “limited” or indicated that there was temporarily “no ticket available”.
Even when “limited” categories were selected, the website indicated that “the selected price zone cannot offer the required seats for the time being as other customers are selecting all the remaining seats”.
“Ultimate Spheres Experience” tickets priced at HK$6,599 for the show on April 11 were sold out as early as 10.10am, with the HK$2,099 seats on April 9 also snapped up and only single seats were left available at the same price range on April 12 by 10.13am.
Users were given 10 minutes to scramble for tickets before they were automatically taken off the site. The Post reporter only managed to enter the site one time initially, despite repeated attempts.
