SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 2, 2015 (Antara/Xinhua-AsiaNet) --

The 2015 MAMA will be held in Hong Kong on Dec. 2. From October 30, UnionPay International, the exclusive sponsor of MAMA, will offer multiple exclusive privileges, including that of buying tickets in advance, to cardholders (with card number starting with 62). The "UnionPay" logo will also appear in and outside the stadium that day.

Hosted by South Korea's CJ E&M corporation, MAMA is one of the most important music awards in Asia. This is the second time that UnionPay International sponsors MAMA exclusively, demonstrating that UnionPay, as a rapidly growing international payment brand, has been recognized by an increasing number of people overseas due to its amiable, dynamic and confident image. Last year, BIGBANG and EXO were awarded the "UnionPay Best Song of the Year" and the "UnionPay Best Singer of the Year" respectively. This year, the lineup of stars attending the event will be even more amazing.

Through its history, MAMA has always attracted numerous international stars. No wonder it is hard to get a ticket. To solve this problem for cardholders, UnionPay International reserves 2,000 seats with good view for UnionPay cardholders exclusively this year. From October 30 to November 1, domestic as well as overseas UnionPay cardholders can purchase tickets in advance (at http://www.hkticketing.com/) via "UnionPay Online Payment." Cardholders can also log into UnionPay Haigou site (haigou.unionpay.com) to vote for their favorite music and stars.

Currently, almost all merchants and ATMs in Hong Kong accept UnionPay cards. When attending the event in Hong Kong, UnionPay cardholders can also enjoy the exclusive privileges at over 10 shopping malls (including "wtc more" World Trade Center in Causeway Bay and the Sun Arcade in Tsim Sha Tsui) managed by Sun Hung Kai. Lan Kwai Fong, Tao Heung restaurants and other merchants favored by customers provide preferential offers for UnionPay cardholders. Cardholders can also carry UnionPay cards to South Korea where all the merchants that accept signature payment can accept UnionPay credit cards and over 1,370 thousand merchants accept UnionPay cards for PIN number payment.

UnionPay International has actively participated in various international cultural and art activities in recent years. This kind of participation enriches the UnionPay card-using preferential system in relevant countries and regions, optimizes the card-using experience, improves the international visibility of UnionPay brand and enriches its brand stories.
