Didn’t get any.

The public sale was today. The rules were:

• 5,000 tickets have been allocated for the public ticket sale on Saturday, December 8, 2007 at the Hong Kong Stadium
• Ticket Sales will begin from inside the Hong Kong Stadium at 11:00am, no event tickets will be sold before 11:00am
• The Stadium Gates will be opened to admit members of the queue from 10:30am
• Upon entering the Stadium, each member of the queue will be given a special queue number place card and seated by Stadium stewards based on their order in the queue
• Each person in the queue can purchase a maximum of two (2) event tickets in any combination of Adult & Children’s tickets

Apparently some people queued all night. Some of my mates arrived at 6.00am. My proxies arrived at 6.40am. The cutoff was between 6.20-6.40am! Gutted. Cost me $1000, and $500 for another mate to pay the proxies.

According to Gunther it was another total Charlie Foxtrot. No toilets, no food, no entertainment, except the smell of piss, ‘banter’ with the security guards and the dude that brought his unicycle.

So I’m on the lookout for eight tickets.

FFS, put the sale on the web, make sure you have to enter a valid HK ID number and use a HK credit card. Simple. Yeah, the website will get nailed when it first opens, but other ticket sale websites around the world manage.
