Recently, the football match between Inter Miami and Hong Kong has caused quite a stir. According to information released by Tatler Asia, the organizers decided to refund half of the ticket price, but also announced a loss of about HK$43 million.
Tatler Asia said in a statement that they had invested a lot of resources in the hope of bringing this world-class event to Hong Kong, but ultimately failed to do so. Especially when stars such as Messi are unable to play due to injury, fans are not treated with the respect they deserve. Although they had asked Messi and other players to explain in front of the fans, it was ultimately unsuccessful.
The organisers said they had been in communication with ** and invited the Consumer Council to participate in resolving the issue. To this end, they will offer a 50% refund to the public who have purchased tickets through official channels, and have promised to notify the public of the arrangements until mid-March.
According to the public income statement, despite the fact that the income amounted to 1HK$56.9 billion, but after deducting various expenses, the actual loss was as high as HK$43 million. This figure shows the serious losses of the event.
This incident not only disappointed the fans, but also dealt a heavy blow to the organizers. We look forward to avoiding similar incidents in the future, protecting the rights and interests of fans, and also requiring the organizers to improve their organizational level to ensure the smooth running of the event.
What do you think organizers can do to prevent similar incidents from happening again? Feel free to leave a message to share your thoughts!
