Tickets to the 2021 edition of Hong Kong’s biggest annual music festival went on sale on March 3. It’s a vote of confidence that the city will have the coronavirus pandemic under control by November.
Sales of the advance “blind bird” tickets – festivalgoers buy tickets before the line-up is announced – will continue until March 16. Prices range from HK$698 (US$90) to HK$758 for single-day tickets, to HK$1,188 for a three-day pass. Organisers say full refunds will be offered if the festival is cancelled.
Mike Hill, the CEO of Clockenflap organiser Magnetic Asia, said his team was “seeing good indications that by [November] we will have the right circumstances to allow a proper Clockenflap. What shape this will take will unfold as the year progresses, but it has to the kind of Clockenflap that we know and love.
