Hong Kong musical The Impossible Trial's new run sells out in hours after mainland success
The second local re-run of The Impossible Trial, a home-grown Hong Kong musical, sparked a ticket-buying frenzy after its return from a sold-out tour in Shanghai and Beijing. On July 30, the official ticketing platform Popticket saw as many as 52,000 users joining the virtual queue. They were going after the 8,000 tickets released at 10am for 10 additional performances from August 31 to September 10, which sold out within hours, apart from a small number of tickets for wheelchair users. The 20 original performances also sold out quickly during the early-bird sale on May 30 and the first public sale on June 9. A screenshot of the virtual queue for The Impossible Trial on official ticketing platform Popticket on July 30 shows 49,405 people ahead of the user in the queue.
