The 2025 Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens at the new Kai Tak Stadium reaches a conclusion on Sunday, March 30.
As everyone gets used to the tournament’s new home in Kowloon, the Post takes you through what you need to know.

As of Saturday evening, only three-day passes remained for sale. If you’re still keen to join the fray, those are available from the event’s official ticketing platform for HK$1,950 (US$250) per adult or HK$950 per child (ages 3-12) plus fees.
All corporate hospitality suites and corporate boxes have been sold.
