Certain bottles allowed for Coldplay concerts at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium | South China Morning Post
Allowed Bottles
Attendees of Coldplay's concerts at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium are permitted to bring empty, reusable plastic or silicone bottles or cups with a maximum capacity of 600 milliliters. Importantly, these bottles must be without lids.
Prohibited Items
Disposable plastic, glass, or thermal bottles, along with any container exceeding 600ml, are strictly forbidden. Signs are also banned.
Past Issues
Previous events saw lengthy security checks caused by the initial blanket bottle ban, leading to many storing bottles on unstaffed racks outside the venue. This new policy is a response to these issues.
Environmental Concerns
Greenpeace criticized Kai Tak Sports Park for the significant waste generated during a recent rugby tournament (approximately 860,000 disposable items), highlighting ongoing environmental concerns.
Fans heading to Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium for British rock band Coldplay’s coming concerts can bring in certain types of bottles, unlike previous practice, but are banned from carrying signs, the organiser has said.
Live Nation said fans attending the shows would be allowed to have plastic or silicone reusable bottles, or cups inside, but they must be empty and have a maximum capacity of 600 millilitres (20.3 fluid ounces).
Kai Tak Sports Park on Monday clarified that these bottles must also come without lids.
Disposable plastic, glass or thermal bottles, as well as those bigger than 600ml, are prohibited.
During earlier events and trial runs, many people had to store their bottles on unstaffed racks placed outside the venue, while those who were unaware of the blanket ban held up the queues at security checks.
Greenpeace also criticised Kai Tak Sports Park after the three-day Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament generated about 860,000 disposable items.
