Opinion urges Hong Kong ticketing reforms to support events ambitions
An opinion article calls for Hong Kong to improve ticket-sale transparency, anti-bot protections and resale rules to support its ambitions as an events hub. The authors say their study examined 174 multimarket Asian tours between 2023 and 2026, finding that 21.1% of Western tours included Hong Kong, compared with 49.5% for Singapore and 74.7% for Tokyo. They argue that the government should use its influence over publicly owned venues to strengthen consumer protections.
