The HKUST announced today (Wednesday) that tickets for admission to visit China's most advanced deep-sea research vessel "Dayang Yihao" have been over-subscribed by 10 times on the first day of registration alone.
A spokesman for HKUST said that a total of 5,000 visitors can be accommodated during the vessel's open days on August 11 - 12 but more than 25,000 registration forms each requesting two tickets have been received on the first day of registration. Registration for tickets is therefore now closed.
In accordance with the announced ticket allocation method, the tickets will be allocated by lottery. Successful applicants will receive their tickets by mail by August 6th. Those who are not allocated any tickets will not be notified separately.
