The events industry was one of the earliest affected by Covid-19 and understandably was also one of the last to return as the country moved back towards Alert Level 1. This has put significant financial strain on organisations across the industry from promoters to venues, ticketing companies, and all event suppliers.
On 31st August Ticket Rocket (formerly TicketDirect) and Dash Tickets were placed in receivership. Over the past several months Eventfinda has received numerous enquiries from affected venues and promoters seeking alternative ticketing support to return events on-sale with confidence in trusted management of ticketholder funds. Eventfinda’s full team of New Zealand staff are on hand to assist with these urgent requests and will usually have General Admission events on sale within an hour, and Allocated Seating events live the same day.
Formal venue contracts are not required by Eventfinda at this stage however promoters hiring a venue must seek their approval before proceeding to publish tickets for sale. For further information please contact our team at ticketing@eventfinda.co.nz.
