Information
All Tickets are Mobile Ticket Only. Mobile Tickets are like Print-at-Home tickets but instead of having to print off the tickets yourself, you can just show the barcode on your mobile phone. It is the easiest way to access tickets to your events. For more information visit Ticketmaster.co.nz/mobileticket Child Policy: Children aged under 1 will be permitted free. Provided they do not occupy a seat. The adult programme kicks off with an Opening Night Gala, but why should the grown-ups get all the fun? Back by very popular demand, our big opening night for the smallest bookworms returns in a fast-paced night of thrills, joy and creative chaos. Featuring Claire Mabey, Toby Morris, Zak Waipara (Ngati Porou, Rongowhakaata, Ngati Ruapani, Ngati Kahungunu) and Daniel Hahn. Hosted by comedy queen, Johanna Cosgrove. All before bedtime!
