Satisfaction, reviews, operational and safety records. Did it pay? Sponsorship, ticketing, box office, revenue over a defined period, indexed if needed. What is new? Fan experience, production, content formats, sustainability, Kai Tak programming, with dates. Regional audiences drawn to Hong Kong are distinctive when quantified.
