*******************************************************************

​​The delegation of 2024 Paris Olympic Games Mainland Olympians will attend the Mainland Olympians Gala Show on August 30 (Friday) and give two sports demonstrations on the morning of August 31 (Saturday). A Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) spokesman today (August 27) reminded members of the public who have purchased tickets for the above events to present their tickets and proof of identity for admission to the venues. Details of the events are as follows:
 
Mainland Olympians Gala Show
Date: August 30 (Friday)
Time: 8pm to 9.30pm
Venue: Queen Elizabeth Stadium, 18 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai
 
Badminton, gymnastics and table tennis demonstrations

Venue: Queen Elizabeth Stadium, 18 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai
 
Diving and swimming demonstrations

     There will be no ticket collection service at the venues on the event day. Ticket holders must collect their tickets at the URBTIX outlets or from the self-service ticketing kiosks elsewhere on or before August 30. For details on the locations of the outlets and kiosks, please visit www.urbtix.hk.
 
     An LCSD spokesman reminded the public that as it will take time to verify personal particulars under the real-name registration arrangement and all persons will need to undergo security checks before entering the venues, the waiting time for attendees to enter the relevant venues may be lengthened. The venues will open around 75 minutes before each show starts. To avoid missing any of the events, the LCSD suggests that members of the public arrive early.
 
     Real-name ticketing is required for ticket purchases. The full English name of each ticket holder will be printed on each ticket. Each ticket holder must present a proof of identity with photo that matches the name on the ticket for verification upon entry; failure to do so will result in denied admission and no refunds. Ticket holders may not make unauthorised amendments to the information as printed on the ticket or transfer the ticket for another's use. Audience members, after entry, are advised to retain their tickets for prize quiz and ticket inspection purposes.
 
     To ensure public safety and order, audience members should observe the house rules, follow the instructions of on-site staff, and refrain from bringing prohibited items into the venues, or else they will be denied entry or be removed from the venues. The relevant house rules have been uploaded to the LCSD's designated website at www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/paris2024/rules.html.
 
     The latest information will be announced on the dedicated website (www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/paris2024/index.html).
