The Hong Kong Coliseum which has been temporarily closed for major improvement works will open its door for the first concert of the year by Hacken Lee and Alan Tam. They will be running 10 sessions starting from 1st February. It has been reported that part of the proceeds from Hacken and Alan’s ticket sales will be used to render financial assistance in aid of the East Asian Games. The Board and the organizing committee would endeavour to price the concert tickets at an average price of HK100 so as to attract more ticket purchases from the public. According to Yi Neng, there have been good responses for the concert thus far in that that the tickets sales have reached approximately 90%. They are also looking into the possibilities of increasing the number of the concert sessions.
On the other hand, artistes who are scheduled to hold their individual concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum for the first half of the year include Liza Wang (Dance and Drama Stage Performance), Kay Tse, Vivian Chow, Richie Ren and others. EEG Entertainment has also blocked off May and June for EEG artistes to run their concerts. Although the lists of artistes are still unconfirmed, however, they have revealed that the public responses in support of Raymond Lam were overwhelming.
EEG Entertainment Group: The effect of 'financial tsunami' on ticket sales
EEG spokesperson, Mr Ng has expressed his expectations on the newly refurbished Hong Kong Coliseum. The HK Coliseum is the best place for a grand concert to be held in view of its strategic location. Although he (Mr Ng) agrees that the financial crisis will have certain impact on the tickets sales at least in the beginning of the year, he foresees that the economy will recover in next half of the year.
