Scalpers have been selling tickets to the free open day of a popular primary school in Hong Kong for up to HK$200 (US$25) each after a quota was imposed for the event, the Post has found.
Several sellers listed tickets for the open day at Po Leung Kuk Camões Tan Siu Lin Primary School, its first since the pandemic began, for between HK$100 and HK$200 each. The listings have been on online sales platform Carousell since last week.
The school in Tai Kok Tsui, which is one of the most popular institutions under the direct subsidy scheme (DSS) because of its comparatively modest fees, will hold the open day on Saturday. Tours will take parents around the campus, where they will learn about the latest developments at the school and see performances by students.
