Daily
General Admission tickets for the 2010 World Rowing
Championships go on sale today (3 May) via Ticketek outlets
and online at www.ticketek.co.nz
And there’s an
Early Bird special for fans quick off the mark. Organisers
are offering 25% off the first 1000 full price General
Admission tickets sold for each day of the
event.
The 2010 World Rowing Championships take
place at Lake Karapiro from 31 October – 7 November. It
will be the biggest international sports event to be held in
New Zealand since the 1990 Commonwealth Games and the first
time the event has been staged in NZ since
1978.
The General Admission tickets admit
spectators to lakeside viewing areas on the Domain
embankment area and give full access to all the
entertainment and other amenities on Karapiro
Domain.
The daily tickets range in price from
$19.95 (children 8-15 years $5.00) to $59.95 (children
$20.00) on the Finals days. The ticket price includes
parking and bus tickets for the Park & Ride system. Entry
for children aged under 8 is free.
“It’s the
chance of a lifetime for Kiwis to see the world’s best
rowers in action on one of the world’s best courses,”
says Organising Committee CEO Tom Mayo. “Add in the range
of entertainment on offer off the water and every day will
be a fantastic day out for fans and
families.”
Eight day Grandstand season tickets
are also available, priced from $290.00 to
$445.00.
Disabled patrons should contact the
Ticketek Helpline on 0800 8425 3835 to buy tickets. An area
in the front row of the Grandstand has been reserved for
disabled patrons as well as a special disabled viewing
platform in front of the Grandstand near the finish line. If
a disabled patron requires the assistance of a carer to
access the event, then the accompanying carer will be
admitted free of charge on the same ticket. In addition,
parking will be available at the venue via Gate B for
disabled patrons in vehicles displaying a recognised
Mobility Parking
