Musical entertainment has always been integral to the HKSEVENS experience, and this year, Marriott Rewards is sponsoring a brand new musical event -- the HKSEVENS Kick-off Concert on Wednesday 6 April, featuring The Proclaimers, Bjorn Again and host David Hasselhoff. At the concert, Members are invited to enjoy the entertainment from the comfort of the VIP Lounge and Suite. Marriott Rewards is also rewarding the crowd over social media -- fans who tag their moments #MembersGetMore can win free tickets to the HKSEVENS weekend.

From 6 to 7 April, Marriott Rewards is raising the game on family fun with a wide array of attractions at HKSEVENS Central, Chater Garden. Along with a popcorn corner, Members and their children can take part in an exclusive coaching session for kids led by Australian rugby legend David Campese on Thursday 7 April from 12-2pm. HKSEVENS Central provides a fun space where everyone can watch the rugby action free of charge, and visitors will receive a special gift when they join Marriott Rewards, which is easy and free.

At the Hong Kong Stadium, Marriott Rewards is hosting a VIP rugby experience from 8 to 10 April in the Marriott Rewards Corporate Box. Members and special guests can cheer the game whilst indulging in premium F&B and uninterrupted views of the pitch, or take a break to enjoy a rejuvenating head, neck and shoulder massage by an experienced masseur -- a first at the HKSEVENS.

Throughout the HKSEVENS Rugby Week, Marriott Rewards will surprise and delight Instagram fans. By tagging #MembersGetMore and following @MarriottRewardsAP, fans will have the opportunity to be upgraded to the Marriott Rewards Corporate Box to enjoy their own VIP experience.
