Dear God, the number of people here recommending criminal behaviour is horrifying
Tailgating through the barriers is an offence. The fare involved is HK$110 from HK, HK$100 from Kowloon, or HK$65 from Tsing Yi. Anyone who thinks it is worth spending a considerable amount of time with the constabulary (and possibly the court system) and a criminal record in order to save such a small sum probably deserves to be locked up for their own safety
Please - don't break the law; and don't encourage others to break the law
I am utterly appalled that this even needs to be said on this forum, but clearly it does

Sorry Ian, fare evasion will not lead to criminal conviction nor in jail in every country in this world. As a tourist, you can simply don't pay the fine even get caught. Many China tourists do this in Hong Kong and MTR knows so well they are simply not getting it back.
We all know, that ticket inspectors has no authority to arrest you nor to use force to surrender you.
So if you are violent enough to attack them, for OH&S reasons, the only way for them is to flee.
When I travel on trains in Sydney, I always violently attack ticket inspectors and threaten them to die, and they will have to run away.
Also I would like to remind everyone, that as an international standard and a fire safety feature, all ticketed gates do have an emergency gate open button, that if activated, trains will be free.

Quick question, we have a party of 5, can I just go in myself to drop the luggage? Or will they need all 5 of us be at the counter?
