Eventfinda, New Zealand's largest independent ticketing provider, is proud to announce a new partnership with two of the
New Plymouth District Council Venues. Eventfinda’s dynamic ticketing and marketing platform will be the exclusive
ticketing service for TSB Showplace and TSB Stadium. This collaboration shares the vision to enhance and grow event
opportunities in the region.
The multi-purpose, technology-driven TSB Showplace is Taranaki's premier theatre and conference hub housing two main
auditoriums – The TSB Theatre and the Theatre Royal. It hosts a variety of events from theatrical performances,
conferences, orchestral shows, comedy nights, cabarets and more intimate gatherings. TSB Stadium boasts three full-sized
sports courts and a mezzanine area. Its expansive 2000 square metre floor space can transform seamlessly from hosting
local sports to staging commercial events, trade shows, concerts, or corporate dinners.
The Eventfinda platform supports the ambitions of these modern venues by providing flexibility and efficiency for all
stakeholders. Anna Magdalinos, Eventfinda’s Head of ticketing said,
“We’re delighted to be able to contribute to New Plymouth District Council’s vision to be a Sustainable Lifestyle
Capital with a focus on Kotahitanga (working together). Eventfinda’s technology will help ensure they continue to create
opportunities for the community to attend an array of events and sporting activities. Our platform’s flexibility offers
all the layers of traditional ticketing with the advantages of self-service functionality, complementing the multiple
needs of these venues and meeting their challenge of adapting and future-proofing their ticketing.”
A customer-centric approach is a core value for both organisations so the ticketing technology needs to deliver on that
front for both the venue teams and their local community patrons. A reliable, proven, robust platform that could provide
simple, fast transactions and offer multiple ticketing functionalities and ticket types was essential to ensure customer
satisfaction while maximising sales.
"We're confident the Eventfinda partnership will support us in continuing to deliver exceptional service to our
audiences and hirers", says Chade Julie, Manager Venues and Events, New Plymouth District Council.
The everyday practicalities and challenges of venues with such diverse events require a collaborative ticketing
partnership.
Eventfinda’s vast experience will ensure a high degree of stakeholder satisfaction, ensure timely levels of service and
provide accurate information. A high standard of analytics and reporting is also available 24/7, live and in real-time
for event organisers.
The new partnership is a testament to Eventfinda’s reputation and ability to deliver the best for local venues and their
communities. James McGlinn, Eventfinda CEO commented,
“The ticketing partnership with TSB Showplace and TSB Stadium aligns with our dedication to a data-driven and
customer-centric approach. Our team look forward to going above and beyond with the TSB Showplace and TSB Stadium teams
to ensure consistent delivery of exceptional ticketing experiences, improving operations and supporting the venues to
acquire the best national and international events.”
Chade Julie, Manager Venues and Events, New Plymouth District Council added,
“We are delighted to be partnering with Eventfinda in what is an exciting step forward for the TSB Showplace and TSB
Stadium. The two venues host a wide variety of event experiences all year round, from community events through to some
of the biggest names in music, entertainment and sport. We’re confident the Eventfinda partnership will support us in
continuing to deliver exceptional service to our audiences and hirers”.
