BLACKPINK 'DEADLINE' concert fans queue overnight in cold for prime standing spots at Kai Tak

BLACKPINK’s three-day “DEADLINE” world tour concerts kicked off on Saturday at Kai Tak Stadium, with devoted fans braving freezing temperatures overnight to secure front positions for standing tickets.

Hundreds gathered outside the venue from Wednesday night to guarantee early entry, as standing tickets are unreserved and earlier arrival means closer proximity to the stage.

Long queues persisted until around 2pm today. Due to the large turnout, organizers allowed fans to line up at the gates earlier and processed entry on schedule for the 3.30pm doors.

Some fans who queued from around 10am celebrated securing front-row spots, with one posting excitedly about getting the right-side first row after nine hours of waiting.

Others noted that even those joining at the official opening time managed good positions.

Social media buzzed with admiration for the dedication, alongside comments about the cold and the lengths fans go to for their idols.
