Tauranga’s largest indoor venue for concerts has just got a lot bigger.
Mercury Baypark Arena in Mount Maunganui can now host up to 6000 people inside its Lion Foundation Centre, a jump from its previous capacity of 3700.
Bay Venues, the organisation that manages the arena, said in a media statement it now made it one of the larger spaces in the country of its type.
It has also signed a preferred ticketing partnership for Mercury Baypark with Ticketek.
“Our partnership with Ticketek means we can now offer event promoters and organisers access to a full-service ticketing option, and they will be working alongside a reputable provider and trusted brand with significant reach,” Bay Venues head of events Michelle Stevens said.
