Media Release 15 February 2017
ALLIED TE MATATINI EVENTS SOLD OUT
Ngāti Kahungunu is pleased to announce that both the Taniwha Dragon Economic Summit and the Paua Club are sold out. This
supports the twin strategy that culture and commerce co-exist and that Te Matatini has drawn people from both sectors
like moths to a flame.
To date, over 40,000 Te Matatini tickets have been sold and the numbers have exceeded the expectations of the
organisers. We regret that all 20,000 iwi discounted tickets have sold and we urge people to go online to the Te
Matatini website to purchase tickets at the full price.www.tematatini.co.nz

Water Borne Show will take place at6:00pm on Sunday 19 February in the Ahuriri Lagoon.
