Ticket sales for National Games' Hong Kong events approach 40pc

Nearly 40 percent of tickets for the Hong Kong-hosted events of the National Games have been sold, according to Yeung Tak-keung, head of the National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong).

Yeung highlighted that ticket sales have been improving, particularly following the conclusion of two events, including beach volleyball and handball.

He added that tickets for events scheduled in the final stages of the National Games were largely sold out well in advance, with some attendees even mentioning the difficulty of securing a ticket.

Hong Kong is responsible for staging eight competition events, including basketball (Men's U22), track cycling, fencing, golf, handball (Men), rugby sevens, triathlon, and beach volleyball. 

One mass participation event, bowling, was also held in late August.
