The Hong Kong Coliseum is originally planning to reopen in April 2009. But the other night when Alan Tam and Hacken Lee were rehearsing for tonight's TVB Anniversary Award Ceremony, they received a verbal go ahead for their concert to be held during the Lunar Chinese New Year Holidays. The two singers will become the first to hold concert after the Coliseum has been rebuilt. Alan reckoned although there is a recession, they can still bring some leisure to the audience. They don't think the market would affect the ticket sales.

A lot of singers have been waiting for the reopening of the Coliseum. Alan and Hacken are very happy to be the soup as "starter". When they were having their pictures taken, they took out the flask and pour out some water saying that it isn't easy to be the "starter".

Alan revealed that the HK Coliseum was built as a sport centre for South East Asia. After its rebuilt, the event booking has to go through the sport council. There are health and safety issues too, if it is up to the standard, than the concert can go ahead.

Alan . Hacken Live Concert (左麟右李演唱會》 will start on 2nd Jan 09. There will be 7 to 10 shows. They are not going to reduce their fees even though there is a recession.

Hacken will be imitating Alan as one of the Wynners in tonight's TVB Anniversary Award Ceremony. He told reporters "Wynners had just done a show in San Francesco, I will wear the clothes he wore in that show." Alan laughed, saying he hasn't washed those clothes yet, he is leaving them for Hacken to smell of him.
