Hong Kong Marathon 2015

Race organisers the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association have announced that the Hong Kong Marathon 2015 will take place on Sunday 25 January 2015. Explaining the new date the HKAAA said “We believe by moving the event from the post-Chinese New Year period to an earlier date runners can benefit from the generally more favorable weather conditions in January. “Run for a Reason” will continue to be the theme for next year’s Marathon”. Race information and registration will be announced in late August on www.hkmarathon.com

One Direction “On the Road Again Tour 2015” Live in Hong Kong – 18 March, 2015

One Direction “On the Road Again Tour 2015” Live in Hong Kong - 18 March, 2015

Exciting news – not, the completely dire One Direction hit Hong Kong to milk local fans for every dollar. The concert’s not until March 2015, yet the 13,500 tickets go onsale next month at prices from $3,488 to $988 adding some $20million to the concert promoters bank balance. According to Sony UK’s Chief Executive Nick Gatfield back in 2012 the 1D (as fans refer to the band) cash cow was worth GBP50million. It’s probably trebled since then as the record company and the band’s management have ruthlessly monetised social media to cash in on teenage girls and their adoring parents who can’t object to the bands clean cut, wholesome, whiter-than-white, middle class parent friendly pop: cute boys advocating puppy love.

One can only hope that unlike Rihanna’s awful lip-sync show One Direction will actually sing live, be on stage on-time (unlike Justin Bieber) and give the crowd some midnight memories worthy of the ticket price.

The 1D VIP package costs $1200 more than the top price seat – and for $3,488 you’d think it’d include a meet and greet…but no it doesn’t. For the extra $1200 you get a 1D watch (with pouch!) and a laminated card on a lanyard – whoopee fucking do!
