Nicola Turner, EFA National, Wednesday, 11 June 2008

BOGOC have allocated a further 60,000 tickets to Hong Kong for Equestrian events. Tickets will be available from 12 June and are not limited to Hong Kong residents.

The Equestrian Company and China Travel Service at a press briefing on 10 June gave an update on the latest "Games-Time" ticket sale arrangements for the Olympic Equestrian Events.

Chief Executive Officer of the Equestrian Company, Mr Lam Woon-kwong, said, "All of the 40,000-odd tickets for the Equestrian Events allocated to Hong Kong in the first two ticketing phases have been sold."

"As Hong Kong is riding high with Olympic equestrian enthusiasm, the Equestrian Committee (Hong Kong) of the Beijing Organising Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad has further applied to the Beijing Organising Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) for more tickets for Hong Kong to promote the Equestrian Events by engaging more public participation.

"Now, about 60,000 ‘Games-Time’ tickets have been allocated to Hong Kong by BOCOG.

Games-time tickets are available for sale from June 12. As in the first two ticketing phases, CTS has been appointed as the official ticket agent for the Games-Time tickets for the Equestrian Events.

To encourage more public participation, the Equestrian Committee continues to adopt the BOCOG policy and set the ticket prices at affordable levels ranging from HK$58 to HK$544.

The spokesman for CTS, Mr Ng Hi-on, said interested persons could purchase the Games-Time tickets at all CTS branches or on its website (www.ctshk.com) on a first-come, first-served basis.

For the five final events, tickets will be available only at CTS headquarters in Sheung Wan, and at its Wan Chai, Mong Kok, Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin branches. Each applicant may select a maximum of two tickets for final sessions and 15 tickets per match for every transaction.

Another important note: The tickets are not limited to local Hong Kong residents. Foreigners can also purchase the tickets through the CTS website, or from CTS branches.
