<h3>At iTICKET, we do not just sell tickets for live performance. We live and breathe the arts community.</h3>While our award-winning platform works hard behind the scenes so every scan, tap, or click is seamless, we know that true event success relies on genuine human connection. Our team recently took off their ticketing hats for an evening out together at Q Theatre to catch Sharp Teeth, a performance presented under the Q Season Support (QSS) initiative.<h3>Championing independent artists and venues</h3>The Q Season Support programme is built to help ambitious local work come to life. By offering independent artists and producers access to venue support, technical resources, marketing assistance, and performance opportunities, Q Theatre continues to stand as one of Aotearoa’s leading contemporary performing arts venues.For us, being a ticketing partner means showing up for these initiatives in person. Supporting the arts community goes far beyond box office tech and payment options. Taking the time to share a drink, laugh together, and connect with our venue partners at Q Theatre is what builds long-term trust and keeps our local industry thriving.<p style="border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-transform: translateX(0) translateY(0) rotate(0) skewX(0) skewY(0) scaleX(1) scaleY(1); --tw-border-opacity: 1; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28px; font-weight: 400; font-family: Figtree, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-transform: translateX(0) translateY(0) rotate(0) skewX(0) skewY(0) scaleX(1) scaleY(1); --tw-border-opacity: 1; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28px; font-weight: 400; font-family: Figtree, sans-serif;"><img id="3o8ts9g139mry3ya3t" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33vNCJrksilMWUhqXByGmDtrqk1bP8l35thunm1CMfLS41B8s8fH1ENZqqxcG5SW.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33vNCJrksilMWUhqXByGmDtrqk1bP8l35thunm1CMfLS41B8s8fH1ENZqqxcG5SW.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" style="border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-transform: translateX(0) translateY(0) rotate(0) skewX(0) skewY(0) scaleX(1) scaleY(1); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-filter: ; --tw-backdrop-filter: ; --tw-bg-opacity: 1; background-color: rgb(243, 244, 246); width: 640px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; object-position: center center;"><h3>Dedicated care from people who actually love the show</h3>Managing a production or a busy arts venue comes with plenty of event day stress.

<h3>Why face-to-face collaboration is the secret to scaling exceptional events</h3>There is nothing quite like real human connection. While our roots are firmly in Aotearoa, some of our leadership team recently crossed the ditch to the VMA Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress at the Adelaide Convention Centre to connect with the wider entertainment industry and showcase how our platform is evolving for trans-Tasman promoters.<p style="border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-transform: translateX(0) translateY(0) rotate(0) skewX(0) skewY(0) scaleX(1) scaleY(1); --tw-border-opacity: 1; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28px; font-weight: 400; font-family: Figtree, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-transform: translateX(0) translateY(0) rotate(0) skewX(0) skewY(0) scaleX(1) scaleY(1); --tw-border-opacity: 1; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28px; font-weight: 400; font-family: Figtree, sans-serif;"><img id="b8ycnyqqxfmr9w1mck" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/51VWkKbrBlzxqNAwDdJGtGuWLr4VMnCaRn2Deu7cyTEH5bATiDCsMv1RABHImE6y.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/51VWkKbrBlzxqNAwDdJGtGuWLr4VMnCaRn2Deu7cyTEH5bATiDCsMv1RABHImE6y.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" style="border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-transform: translateX(0) translateY(0) rotate(0) skewX(0) skewY(0) scaleX(1) scaleY(1); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-filter: ; --tw-backdrop-filter: ; --tw-bg-opacity: 1; background-color: rgb(243, 244, 246); width: 640px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; object-position: center center;"><h3>Scaling across the ditch with a personal touch</h3>One of the biggest highlights was spending in-person time with our Australian based team member, Andrew.

From Aotearoa to Adelaide: Showing up for the trans-Tasman venue industry

<h3>Street level buzz and a new look for iTICKET HQ</h3>We have been busy trying some new things to get our partners' events front and centre. From street level campaigns in Wellington to a fresh addition at our Auckland HQ, we are stepping into the spotlight to show up properly for the industries we serve.<figure id="figure-x3232etd7mq0f6eg7" class=""><img id="x3232etd7mq0f6eg7" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9JDN914O7Y4Hwm1iDw7MkoQJfe9PSofAlsyHccvz5AjaJQ2tcydD4UoTZFQLvkyK.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9JDN914O7Y4Hwm1iDw7MkoQJfe9PSofAlsyHccvz5AjaJQ2tcydD4UoTZFQLvkyK.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Going all in across Wellington</h3>For the first time, iTICKET has taken to the streets with Phantom Billstickers advertising across Wellington. As a proud ticketing partner of the NZ International Comedy Festival, we wanted to ensure we supported the event by going all in.Our capital campaign did not stop at the streets. In addition to the Wellington bollard campaign, we sorted a custom photo wall activation at The Hannah for Late Laughs. We work hard behind the scenes to ensure every scan, tap, or click is seamless on our award-winning platform, but we also know that real world visibility drives results.<figure id="figure-umn73iq93mq0f8b0p"><img id="umn73iq93mq0f8b0p" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/34lQLvi5YalbSrqQqGNAqL45fA3bUQeRPBRrDnjfuD9mGTLetqkDPckvWZ1vNbSD.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/34lQLvi5YalbSrqQqGNAqL45fA3bUQeRPBRrDnjfuD9mGTLetqkDPckvWZ1vNbSD.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Putting our own name in the spotlight</h3>Public Service Announcement for anyone driving past iTICKET HQ: please keep your eyes on the road. While we are absolutely stoked to have our name up on the building finally, we would much prefer it if you stayed safely in your lane while checking out the new look.&nbsp;For over two decades, our independent, NZ grown team has worked hard to help promoters and organisers stage exceptional events. Because our focus is always on putting your events front and centre, we don't often boast about ourselves, which means some people still don't realise we are based right here in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland.Although we have been in Kingsland for a while, our home base now proudly wears our logo for all to see.

We'll work with you to set the deposit amount, min/max installments and cut-off date to suit your event. &nbsp;Think of PayPlan as a longer term 'Buy Now Pay Later' option, with our existing Afterpay integration providing shorter term options across the board.Reach out to your Account Manager for further details if you’re interested in having PayPlan as a payment option for your next event.<figure id="figure-3iny6spdcambik2qng"><img id="3iny6spdcambik2qng" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/30bVEJmDy5Cj59sT7hwOzqEWyu4lGtVJ4Irh221Cv9wJIlZuCuO8UPrkM330hCr6.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl selected" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Example of PayPlan breakdown at checkout" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/30bVEJmDy5Cj59sT7hwOzqEWyu4lGtVJ4Irh221Cv9wJIlZuCuO8UPrkM330hCr6.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-mce-selected="1"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Example of PayPlan breakdown at checkout</figcaption></figure>
