Three new categories of tickets were offered on Thursday costing far more than the previously announced maximum price of HK$2,099 per ticket. These were priced at HK$2,799 for standing tickets, and HK$3,499 and HK$6,599 for seated tickets.
The HK$6,599 ticket holders will be seated in the same zone as those who paid HK$2,099 but be given other perks. These include an exclusive backstage tour, pictures taken on stage by professional photographers, dedicated ushers and souvenirs. These additional offerings would not include a meet-and-greet with band members, organisers said.
A Post reporter who visited the ticket booking platform Cityline at 10am when sales opened gained access to purchasing options only after a few minutes.
However, most dates and price categories were listed as “limited” or indicated that there was temporarily “no ticket available”.
Even when “limited” categories were selected, the website indicated that “the selected price zone cannot offer the required seats for the time being as other customers are selecting all the remaining seats”.
“Ultimate Spheres Experience” tickets priced at HK$6,599 for the show on April 11 were sold out as early as 10.10am, with the HK$2,099 seats on April 9 also snapped up and only single seats were left available at the same price range on April 12 by 10.13am.
