Get in early for tickets, apparently you get better seats the earlier you book.

Italics indicate this site’s interest – they do our advertising.

It looks like there will be a few tickets available we can probably lay our hands on. Despite some partner coercion,  Anthony in Dunedin would probably be a better decision maker about who gets them. Any ideas how we allocate them (me – is not an acceptable answer – as I told Lyn this morning)
