“We are delighted with the enthusiasm shown by Hong Kong people for the equestrian events,” said the Equestrian Company’s Head of Games Services, Mr Tang Ho-kong. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of the Olympic Games. Hong Kong people have enthusiastically supported the event to make it a sell-out success.”

Mr Tang reminded spectators to redeem their ticket coupons for the actual entry tickets as soon as possible. A free shuttle bus services will ferry spectators from University Station to the Sha Tin venue, and from Fanling Station to the Beas River venue. Spectators are urged to arrive at the venues one to two hours before the start of competition to ensure adequate time for shuttle bus transfer and security screening at entrance gates.
