Our old friend Ringer Spy Taniwha chimes in with this news about grandstand seats for the RoTK red carpet parade for the premiere.

Grandstand seats on sale for LOTR red carpet parade

Wellington City Council today announced that limited seats on grandstands alongside the red carpet for The Return of the King world premiere parade on December 1 are available to members of the public.

“The Council wants to make sure Wellingtonians and other members of the public have a chance to be part of the action. To this end we’re making grandstand seats available for purchase and running several draws and competitions over the next two weeks for people to win free grandstand seats,” Deputy Mayor Alick Shaw said.

Grandstand seats are on sale now, for $100+GST (NZ) plus booking charges through Ticketek offices nationwide.

Revenue generated from the sale of grandstand seats will go towards offsetting the cost to Wellington City Council of hosting the world
premiere.
