Hey football fans! Remember that epic match we were all hyped about in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) where Lionel Messi was supposed to dazzle us? Well, things didn't go as planned, and Messi was a no-show 😕. But guess what? The organizers have heard our outcry and are now offering a 50% refund on tickets! 🎉
Tatler Asia announced on Monday that they will refund half the ticket price to all who purchased through official channels. Some fans shelled out up to 4,880 Hong Kong dollars ($625) hoping to see the magic of Messi on the field. That's some serious cash! 💸
\"Refunds will be processed within 30 days from the April 12, 2024, deadline,\" they said. So mark your calendars and keep an eye on your accounts! 📅💰
If you got your tickets directly from Tatler Asia Limited, including through sponsors or partners, expect a dedicated account manager to reach out with all the deets on how to get your refund. Customer service level: Expert! 🤝
The disappointment hit hard when Messi didn't step onto the pitch as Inter Miami defeated the Hong Kong League XI 4-1 on February 4. Fans were beyond upset, especially when just three days later, Messi played 30 minutes against Vissel Kobe in Tokyo! Talk about rubbing salt in the wound! 😤
Messi explained that a groin injury kept him from playing in Hong Kong, but many fans weren't buying it. The frustration was real, but at least now there's some compensation. Let's hope this bridges the gap between the fans and the football icon we all adore! ⚽️❤️
So, did you attend the match, or know someone who did? Spread the word so everyone gets their refund! And maybe next time, we'll get to see Messi work his magic live! Fingers crossed! 🤞
