As part of this citywide promotion, cardholders of credit cards or debit cards issued in Asia Pacific[2] are invited to enroll and tap to ride with Visa on the MTR to earn lucky draw entries, with a total of 1,600 concert tickets up for grabs.
"We are committed to enhancing the daily commute for everyone, everywhere, by connecting public transport to convenient, secure and globally consistent Visa payments. In collaboration with MTR, Katch, our bank partners, and popular local and regional artists, we aim to make tapping to ride with Visa a rewarding journey," said Paulina Leong, General Manager, Visa Hong Kong and Macau. "In 2024 and beyond, we will be rolling out a series of music and entertainment experiences to bring more joy to locals and overseas visitors on their MTR journey."
