Latest self-driving and transportation arrangements for concerts/major events
(Taking Nicholas Tse's 2025 concert as an example)
During large-scale concerts (such as Nicholas Tse's concert starting on April 24th), the following are the key points regarding transportation and self-driving arrangements at Kai Tak Sports Park:
1. Special Transportation Arrangements
On the day of the concert, there will be temporary traffic control around the sports park, and some sections of the road will only be open to vehicles with special passes
Visitors are advised to use public transportation as much as possible, including the MTR (Sung Wong Toi Station/Kai Tak Station), buses and minibuses, to avoid driving themselves and delays in entering the venue due to traffic congestion
2. Parking Lot Usage Restrictions
Officials have made it clear that the sports park parking lot will not be open to the public on the day of the concert and will only be available to those with specific vehicle passes
For those driving, it is generally recommended to park near a shopping mall (such as Airside or Kai Tak Cruise Terminal) or in areas like Kowloon Bay or Ngau Tau Kok, and then take the MTR or walk to the destination
3. Entry and Exit Tips
With a large crowd at the venue, severe traffic congestion is expected during the departure period (within half an hour after the concert ends)
It is recommended that when leaving the venue, you choose to walk to a more distant subway station (such as Kai Tak Station or Sung Wong Toi Station) to avoid the crowds at the main venue exit
If you need to pick up or drop off friends or family, it is recommended to arrange to wait outside the sports park or near a landmark (such as the AIRSIDE shopping mall) to avoid illegal parking at the entrance of the sports park
When the show is over, check out the "Departure Service" (only applicable from April 24 to 27) for the latest news and special traffic and transportation arrangements with the Transport Department's "Hong Kong Travel Service"
4. Other traffic precautions
During the concert, temporary traffic signs were set up on-site and staff assisted in directing traffic
Please remember to follow the traffic signs on site and do not park illegally to avoid being towed or fined
5. Suggestions for integrating large-scale event days
If you are driving to Kai Tak Sports Park on a major event day, be sure to check the latest traffic announcements from the official website or the organizer in advance
Most parking lots are not open to the public, so it is recommended to park in nearby areas and take public transportation
During peak periods of pedestrian and vehicular traffic after the event, it is recommended to wait patiently or take a short break before leaving
When picking up or dropping off relatives and friends, you can arrange to do so outside the sports park or near a shopping mall to avoid illegal parking
