Mainland Chinese visitors are expected to flock to Hong Kong in January next year for two concerts by K-pop superstars Blackpink , with fans trying to work out how to get their hands on tickets, the cheapest way to watch the shows and whether tour stops such as Singapore may be a better bet to see the girl group.
The group’s agency, YG Entertainment, this week revealed that Blackpink’s “Deadline” world tour would end at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium , following stops in South Korea, Taiwan, Bangkok, the Philippines, Singapore and Tokyo.

The four-member group – comprising Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rose – will also be performing in Europe and North America over the summer, with the news sending Blinks – a term used to describe the group’s most devoted fans – into a frenzy.

Tickets for Blackpink’s two shows at Kai Tak Sports Park’s main stadium are priced from HK$699 (US$90), while the most expensive VIP package costs HK$3,499, as local promoter Live Nation revealed the seat map for their stage on Friday.

Ticket sales will start on June 10 in an official fan club presale, followed by a Visa credit card presale and booking platform Trip.com presale.

General sales will begin on June 13 at 11am through the ticketing platform Cityline.
