  • The Public Entertainment Ordinance prohibits ticket resale above fixed prices, yet enforcement appears lacking, with fines of up to HK$2,000.
  • Authorities acknowledged they are still studying options to outlaw ticket scalping, having made similar promises more than six years ago.
  • Legislators expressed concern that ticket scalping harms the tourism industry, deterring visitors due to inflated prices and the presence of scalpers at venues.
