Seating Categories and Ticket Prices
Seating categories and ticket prices vary for each event and are
determined by the event promoter/venue hirer, i.e. North Harbour
Rugby, New Zealand Football, The Blues, etc.
Reserved Seating refers to a ticket that guarantees a seat
located in a specific Block and Row. General Admission refers to a
ticket that entitles entry to an event but does not guarantee a
specific seat.
Some events may also create seating categories within seating
areas, for example "Premium" or "Standard" seats, based on the
location of that seat in relation to the playing surface or
performance area.
North Harbour Stadium recommends patrons address all enquiries
regarding seating categories and ticket prices with the Ticketing
Agent for the respective event. Please refer to our Upcoming
Events and click on the "BUY TICKETS" box for
your chosen event.
Covered Seating
Although the Grandstand has a roof, any seat identified or sold
as covered is not guaranteed of being fully protected from the
weather elements.
Mobility Impaired Seating
Patrons with impaired mobility have dedicated spaces within each
of the seating areas. To reserve space in these areas for an event,
it is important to specify that a Mobility Impaired space is
required when purchasing tickets through the ticketing agent.

mobility impaired patrons, please phone us on 0-9-414 0150, connect

Additional Temporary Seating
For some events, it is possible that Stadium's permanent seating
will be supplemented with additional temporary seating, for example
a grandstand construction over the grass embankments at
either end of the playing surface for sporting events, or on-field
seating for concert events.
