Hong Kong singer Gloria Tang Tsz-kei, known as G.E.M, has announced an additional show at the Kai Tak Stadium in August, after tickets for her three performances from August 15 to 17 were sold out within an hour on Friday.
A Post reporter who visited the HK Ticketing website when sales opened observed that the cheapest seats for the Saturday and Sunday shows on August 16 and 17, which cost HK$680 (US$87) each, were sold out within three minutes.
Despite the HK Ticketing website showing that most tickets in other categories were available, attempts by the Post to select tickets were unsuccessful.
“There are currently too many visitors, please try again,” a pop-up message read.
The pop star will be celebrating her 34th birthday on August 16, and the show on that date proved the most popular, with fans eagerly scrambling for tickets to celebrate the occasion with her.
By 12.10pm, all standard tickets for the Saturday show were sold out, leaving only seats with a restricted view.
All three shows were sold out on HK Ticketing by 1pm.
