The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today (April 10) that the 1 800 free admission tickets for the 7th Hong Kong Games (HKG) opening ceremony have all been distributed.
 
     The opening ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Coliseum at 3.30pm on April 28 (Sunday). The ceremony will feature athletes from 18 districts marching into the venue, the lighting of the cauldron, a grand dance show, sports demonstrations and performances by pop singers. Members of the public without admission tickets can enjoy watching the highlights of the ceremony on TVB Jade between 10.30pm and 11.30pm on the same day.
 
     Members of the public with admission tickets are advised to attend the show as scheduled. Those who are unable to turn up on the day due to unforeseen circumstances may pass the tickets to relatives and friends so as to avoid wastage.
 
     Ticket holders are reminded to allow ample time for travelling to the venue in order to prevent a last-minute rush before admission.
 
     The 7th HKG is organised by the Sports Commission and co-ordinated by the Community Sports Committee with the 18 District Councils; the LCSD; the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China; and relevant National Sports Associations as co-organisers. The Hong Kong Jockey Club is recognised as the principal contributor.
 
     Details of the 7th HKG are available at the dedicated website (www.hongkonggames.hk).
