Once you’ve entered your theatre, film, performance time and credit card information, an on-line movietickets.com confirmation page will validate that your order has been processed.
PLEASE PRINT THE PAGE AS YOUR CONFIRMATION OF PURCHASE
- Tickets can be picked up at the Theatre Box Office or Theatre ATM.
- Tickets will be available on the date of the performance.
- You must bring the same credit card used to purchase the tickets.
- Tickets are for general admission; there is no reserved seating. Please come early to ensure best seating.

This has changed from the time when the tickets went on sale. Before all you needed was the credit card you used now you need both the credit card and the conformation page. I hope this helps becasue this coulda screwed a lot of people over. Just thought you’d like to know.

That’s confidence! They’ve done an amazing job, and must be the most relaxed renovators I’ve ever encountered. No dramas, no problems, just pushing along on schedule. Well done, guys – it’s going to be fantastic. The seats are just about the only thing left to arrive (well, and the screen) – but naturally they’re waiting until the dusty, messy work is over before bringing them in. [More]

Billed as ‘Knights on the Town” the group starts out at Wellington Brewery at 7pm and heads around to Mollly Malone’s (Sean Bean’s favorite pub in Wellington), Sports Cafe and ends at Cambridge Hotel. Not only are they an entertainig group who look fabulous, they are also giving away a night on the town – overnight accomidations for the faire weekend. I snapped these pics last Thurs.
If this crowd is anything to go by, the folklore festival on 29 – 30 Nov should not be missed (and for those of you not going to see Howard Shore, they are having a big medieval feast and show 29 Nov that looks absolutely fabulous). Further details about the events that weekend are on www.folklore.co.nz
With Lord of the Rings mania set to take off once again, the largest flying billboard in the world rolled out of the hangar at Auckland Airport. Made up of 360 individual pieces, the 800sq m jigsaw curves around the fuselage and engines of the Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400, and can withstand speeds of up to 1000kph and temperature extremes between -60C and 60C.
