Free tickets to watch the table tennis competition at the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG) are available through real-name registration starting from 3pm today.

The events will be held on December 6, 8 and 9 at Tsuen Wan Sports Centre.

The NSOG table tennis competition consists of five events, namely Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles. The athletes are divided into five age groups: 8 to 11 years old; 12 to 15; 16 to 21; 22 to 29; and 30 years old and above.

On December 6, from 10am to 12.30pm and from 2.30pm to 5pm, para athletes will contest the Men's Singles and Women's Doubles events.

On December 8, Mixed Doubles will be held from 10am to 1pm, while Women's Singles and Men's Doubles will be held from 10am to 12.30pm and from 2.30pm to 5pm on December 9.

Interested spectators can visit the website and undergo real-name registration from 3pm today to 5pm on the day before the relevant competition day. Each person can register for up to two tickets per transaction. Successful registrants will receive a ticket exchange certificate via email, and this can be exchanged for admission tickets on the competition day.

Holders must bring their ticket exchange certificate and the identification document they used for registration to the ticketing office outside the venue on the relevant competition day to exchange the certificate for a single-day ticket.

The tickets are full-day passes, with unassigned seating. Ticket holders may enter and exit the venue multiple times. Each ticket admits one person. Wheelchair users and their carers must obtain their own tickets.

Ticket exchange certificates and tickets are non-transferable. People can also carry out on-the-spot registration for tickets on competition days while stock lasts.
