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. Yellowface by R. F. Kuang and Fruit Fly by Josh Silver both pose powerful questions about who gets to tell the story, who profits from it, and the dark consequences of ambition and greed in the world of publishing. They discuss their sharp, propulsive novels that expose tokenism, exploitation and the fraught ethics of telling another's story.
