THE World Snooker Tour has apologised to fans after spectators were kicked out of the World Grand Prix before the session finished.

Hong Kong is hosting the tournament - its first ranking event in 35 years.

But a midnight curfew put in place by organisers meant fans were unable to watch the conclusion of the evening's play on Tuesday.

World champion Kyren Wilson was in action against Matthew Selt, while Chinese pair Wu Yize and Pang Junxu faced off on the other table.

However all four stars left the tables inside the Kai Tak Arena before their matches were complete.

A 20-minute delay followed as fans were cleared from the venue because of the midnight curfew.

Play continued with Wilson and Wu winning their respective games.

The World Snooker Tour issued an apology to fans and offered them the chance to exchange their tickets for seats at Wednesday or Thursday's session.

A WST spokesperson said: "Some fans were unable to watch the conclusion of the final match on Table One.

"The Tournament Organising Committee has since communicated with Kai Tak Sports Park and the relevant departments.
