About ASB Stadium
ASB Stadium (now known as Mercury Baypark Stadium) is Tauranga’s large multi-purpose venue, located at 81 Truman Lane, Mount Maunganui, in the Bay of Plenty (alamoana.net ). It opened in 2001 as part of the Baypark complex (alongside the indoor Mercury Arena added in 2011). The stadium is owned by Tauranga City Council and operated by Bay Venues. With roughly 17–20,000 capacity (approximately 17,000 seated (www.bayvenues.co.nz ), 19,800 total (alamoana.net )), it’s notable for having the Southern Hemisphere’s largest dirt track speedway circuit (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). In 2011 a roof was added over the main south grandstand, covering more than 90% of its seats (alamoana.net ). Today it hosts motorsport, cultural and entertainment events that make it a key venue in the local scene. For example, it’s home to the Bay of Plenty Speedway Association (alamoana.net ), and its grandstand and corporate suites are often used for large crowds and VIP gatherings. The stadium’s open-air design, covered seating, corporate boxes and large AV setup give it a unique character as Tauranga’s premier large-scale event venue.
Events and Programming
Mercury Baypark Stadium stages a wide variety of events year-round, blending motorsports with entertainment and community programming. In the summer months (roughly October–April) it comes alive every week for the Baypark Speedway season, hosting headline events like the annual Bay Showdown, Bay Super Bowl and championship rounds. These races feature stock cars, sprintcars, midgets, and jetsprint boat races, all circling the 451m clay oval (with 108m straights and 18–20m track width (bayparkspeedway.co.nz )). Drift racing is also a staple; for example, the DRIFT D1NZ national championship finals have been held here, such as the Repco D1NZ Grand Final in May 2023 and again in April 2025 (www.eventfinda.co.nz ). The stadium even hosts higher-profile fight nights – in June 2024 the WBC MuayThai New Zealand titles were contested here (www.wbcmuaythai.com ), and featured Kiwi fighters like Geovana Peres, Faith McMah, Rob Horrocks and Kayne Conlan in championship bouts (www.wbcmuaythai.com ) (www.wbcmuaythai.com ).
Off-season and non-race events cover concerts, festivals and special gatherings. In years past it hosted the Bay Dreams music festival (e.g. Jan 2018, 2019) featuring international acts – under past sponsorship it billed Cardi B, Peking Duk, Foster The People and Shapeshifter among others (www.undertheradar.co.nz ). Mercury Baypark has full concert capabilities and has seen big acts (Auckland’s Bryan Adams and the Beach Boys performed in the adjacent arena (alamoana.net ), while the stadium transformed for outdoor shows). Family-friendly events like car shows, drag competitions and community fairs also appear on the calendar. For example, a “Christmas Quiz Night” and other community events have been listed at Baypark regularly. The venue frequently hosts trade expos and school events – the adjacent Arena has hosted the Bay of Plenty Wedding Show, NZ Squash Championships and many netball tournaments, and often activity spills into the stadium grounds. Overall, Mercury Stadium is known for its packed schedule of speedway races, drift finals, racing “thrill nights” and occasional music or cultural festivals. Ticket prices vary widely – local race meet nights may cost only a few dozen dollars, while large concerts or championship fights can range up into the $50–$150+ tier. Tickets typically go on sale through official channels well ahead of each event; popular events often sell out, so it’s wise to monitor announcements and secure tickets early.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for Baypark Stadium events are sold through each event’s official outlets and often at the Mercury Baypark box office. Major events (concerts, sports finals, expos) usually announce on-sale dates months in advance. It helps to sign up for newsletters or follow Baypark’s social media, as the stadium frequently updates its “What’s On” schedule. Baypark’s box office (on site) occasionally offers day-of-show tickets if still available. Seating is assigned per ticket; most tickets will clearly indicate your section and seat number. For any ticketed event, it’s best to check the event’s official seating plan or ticket confirmation online to find your location ahead of time (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Pricing tiers depend on the event type – for example, a speedway entry might only cost ~$20–30, whereas a concert headlined by international artists or a major fighting title bout could range $60–$150. Special packages (VIP suites, multi-night ferry tickets for festivals, etc.) vary event by event. Keep an eye on official announcements: presales (for fan clubs, members) may precede general sales, and tickets often sell out for big shows. If an event is labelled “family friendly,” children often have discounted or free admission under a certain age; if it’s an adults-only show, the listing will specify (e.g. many Bay Dreams-style festivals were 18+ events). Remember to bring your printed or digital ticket and a valid ID if age or alcohol purchase is regulated.
Seating and Layout
Mercury Baypark Stadium’s layout is defined by its central oval track. The main grandstand runs along one straight (the south side) and is the largest seating area – this covered stand holds most of the crowd and boasts excellent views of the track (alamoana.net ) (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). In fact, with the 2011 roof extension, over 90% of grandstand seats are under cover, so most spectators stay dry even in rain (alamoana.net ). Opposite the main stand, the far side has smaller unroofed terraces and standing areas. The two curved ends of the track also have low-slope seating, so nearly every seat in the arena looks out onto the circuit. The front straight (under the main stand) is often used as pit lane or display area for cars before races. During motorsport events, additional temporary fences and barriers line the track edges for safety.
For large indoor shows or conferences where the stadium is used, seating can be reconfigured. Often a stage is set up on one end of the field, and the front third of the stadium is allocated for enhanced seating or floor standing zones. In that case, seats directly facing the stage or at mid-field are premium – they are closest to the action and typically on the covered side. Seats behind the stage (if any) are poor values, as the view is blocked. For outdoor festivals like Bay Dreams, multiple stages may occupy different areas of the stadium and open lot, so the “best” spots simply depend on which performer you came to see. General Admission (GA) zones are sometimes created on the field itself; for example at music or community events it may be standing-room on the track in front of the stage. Corporate boxes and private lounges run above the main stand. Baypark offers **three event lounges** (each holding 40–1000 people) and multiple smaller corporate boxes for VIP guests (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). These VIP areas have penthouse-style seating, private bar/catering, and private bathrooms for guests. If you’re after a premium experience, booking a corporate box or one of the covered lounges (often done by large groups) will provide the best sightlines with indoor seating and exclusive service.
When choosing seats, most visitors find that mid-level rows in the covered south stand are ideal for motorsport: you’re near the middle of the action, with a clear view of the pit and start-finish straight, and sheltered by the roof from sun or rain (alamoana.net ) (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). If you want to be “right at the center” during a concert or presentation, look for seats in the front rows of that stand, or GA on the floor if available. For races, sitting near the middle of a curve (east or west ends) offers wide angles on cornering cars, but the front straight still provides the fastest action. Avoid seats behind any large speaker stacks or stage structures (often at the extreme ends). Wherever the view, the stadium’s single big screen (Monstavision) ensures replays and race info are visible to all (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). Keep in mind that for sold-out motorsport nights, some smaller seating areas can be moved closer to the track for overflow. In most cases, all seats at Baypark are individual chairs on concrete risers – there are no grass berms as at some outdoor venues. Acoustics can vary with weather for open-air concerts, so the central seats under the roof often get the clearest sound. The stadium’s floodlighting and sound system are set up to handle night events, so evening visibility and audio are generally excellent.
Getting There and Parking
Mercury Baypark Stadium is situated at the junction of State Highways 2 and 29A in Mount Maunganui. If driving from Tauranga or the airport, take SH29A (the Mount Maunganui Highway) and exit at Sandhurst Drive towards Mangatawa/Stadium, then turn left onto Truman Lane (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). From the Mount you can come via Maunganui Road onto SH2 and also take the Sandhurst exit. The venue is well sign-posted once you reach the Bayfair/Sandhurst intersection. Car parking is plentiful – Baypark provides free on-site parking for about 5,000 vehicles (www.bayvenues.co.nz ) (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Parking is first-come, so it’s wise to arrive early for popular events. (If you plan to stay late or overnight, note the Baypark policies: overnight parking requires prior approval, and camping on-site is not permitted (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ).) Baypark can get very busy at major events. The Council often runs traffic management plans for crowds over 5,000 (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ), so expect delays on nearby roads at show start and finish. Helpful travel tips: carpool if you can, or plan extra time for congestion. If you’re in a hurry, note that the main Stadium entrance (Gate 1) is off Truman Lane, but sometimes drop-offs need to be on adjacent streets for safety. By the way, there are four pay-to-use EV charging stations in the main carpark, and sheltered bike racks outside the Arena entrance if you’re cycling (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ).
Public transport to Baypark is limited. There is no direct bus stop at the stadium (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). The nearest main bus stop is at Bayfair Shopping Centre (about a 5–10 minute walk from Baypark) (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). If using Bay Bus, take any route that goes to Bayfair Mall, then walk or catch a short taxi/Uber from there. This means public transit typically requires a transfer and a brief walk, so factor that in. For those using rideshares or taxis: drop-offs are usually arranged on side streets (for example, Te Maunga Lane or Exeter St) to avoid blocking the highway (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). After an event, it’s often easier to meet rideshares on a quiet nearby street rather than the busy main road. Taxi services like Tauranga Mount Taxis and Bay Dial-a-Driver serve the stadium; consider booking ahead if you’re leaving late. In any case, plan your departure route – traffic backing out can be heavy, so stay calm or consider lingering nearby (shopping centre bars, cafes) until crowds thin out.
Inside the Venue
On the day of a show, look for the Mercury Baypark entrances (the main gates are clearly marked around Truman Lane) and have your tickets ready for scanning. Stadium staff will guide you to the correct stand and seat. Standard stadium security applies: bags will be searched and prohibited items confiscated. Alcoholic beverages and professional food operators are strictly controlled – Bay Catering has exclusive rights for all on-site food and drink (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). You can bring personal snacks (like a small packed sandwich or snacks in a clear bag) but not outside alcohol, and certainly no large coolers or commercial food. Once inside, the atmosphere depends on the event. For motorsport nights, grandstands have cup holders on armrests and fans often cheer loudly for drivers. For concerts or ceremonies, lighting will dim during performances and the crowd usually remains seated.
Facilities around the stadium are well marked. Restrooms can be found at either end of the grandstand; accessible toilets are provided near the main stands (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). If you need assistance, ushers are stationed in the aisles – don’t hesitate to ask them for directions to exits, bathrooms or first aid. The stadium has a first-aid room staffed during events (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). A big plus is that free Wi-Fi is available throughout the venue (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ), so you can check schedules or meet-up plans on your phone. Should you wish to purchase souvenirs or event merchandise, look for the decorative booths or “Merch Hut” near the concourse. (For example, at a recent speedway meet there were shops selling driver T-shirts, caps and LED trinkets (bayparkspeedway.co.nz ).) For refreshments, there are permanent concessions under the stands and often food trucks outside – past readers reported stalls like BBQ vans, coffee carts and donut trucks vending on race nights (bayparkspeedway.co.nz ). In addition to snacks, a licensed bar area is usually open for adults.
Technically, the stadium is well-equipped for large productions. It features one large high-definition big screen for video replays and scores (www.bayvenues.co.nz ), and integrated public address/speaker systems to hear announcements clearly. Behind the scenes, Baypark works with a local provider (Bay Audio Visual) to handle lighting rigs, large sound systems and stage setups (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). This means that if you attend a big concert or motorsport finale, expect professional lighting shows and clear audio. Finally, expect a relaxed Kiwi vibe – there’s no strict dress code (fans usually dress casually, but it can get dusty at outdoor shows so comfortable shoes are wise). Bring sunscreen or a raincoat as needed (most seats are covered, but lines and concourses are open air). Photography for personal use is generally fine, but any professional filming/photography requires permission from the venue’s media team (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ).
Nearby Amenities
Right outside the stadium you’ll find basic amenities: public toilets, water fountains, and vending machines. For more variety, Head to the city or beach. Within a few minutes’ drive is Mount Maunganui’s main shopping and dining strip. Marine Parade and The Mount Village have dozens of restaurants, cafes and bars where you can enjoy pre-show meals or post-event drinks. You’ll find everything from pizza and fish-&-chips shops to trendy cafes and breweries (classic Kiwi eateries like The General and Alexanders on Wharf are popular). If you plan to grab a bite before an evening event, it’s wise to arrive early – Mount’s eateries fill up on show nights. Late-night, many bars stay open into the small hours (common in Tauranga’s nightlife scene), and Uber or taxi ranks at Bayfair can be used any time.
Many visitors stay overnight in Tauranga/Mount when coming for stadium events. The Mount Maunganui beachfront area is lined with accommodations: seaside resorts (Novotel, Distinction Hotels), motels and holiday parks close to the beach. A bit inland, the Bayfair area (near Sandhurst Drive) also has hotels like the Holiday Inn Express and Palm Court Motor Inn. Tauranga city center (10 km away) offers larger hotels and serviced apartments. In short, there are lodging options for every budget – from luxury ocean-view suites to budget motels. If you need parking after a late event and don’t want to drive home, asking your hotel about shuttle services or booking a cab is smart. The Mercury Baypark website even notes that the Mount of Mauao is a popular nearby attraction, so some visitors make a weekend of it (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz )!
What Makes This Venue Special
Mercury Baypark Stadium holds a unique place in Bay of Plenty culture by blending high-octane motorsport with broad entertainment appeal. It’s literally one-of-a-kind: as the Southern Hemisphere’s largest speedway circuit (www.bayvenues.co.nz ), it attracts car and motorsport fans from across NZ. Many locals grow up with “Friday night speedway” tradition – there’s a palpable thrill in the grandstand as sprint cars and stock cars thunder by under the lights. Legendary racing moments (record laps, championship deciders) have played out here, creating a shared heritage for the community. At the same time, the venue has drawn New Zealand and international superstars. Concert audiences at Baypark remember rock concerts and festivals – for example, the stadium hosted the multi-venue Bay Dreams festival (featuring Cardi B, DJ Snake, Peking Duk and more) in 2018–2019 (www.undertheradar.co.nz ). Kiwi music heroes like Bryan Adams, Dave Dobbyn and L.A.B have also performed in the Baypark complex (Arena and Stadium) (alamoana.net ), making it a highlight for fans off the sports track.
Architecturally, Baypark Stadium epitomizes “big Kiwi” – an airy open layout with sweeping views of the track and sky, not a fancy dome. The massive covered grandstand (with its distinctive roofline added in 2011) and surrounding bleachers give it a modern feel compared to older country tracks. You feel completely immersed from anywhere in the stands; it’s easy to chat to neighbors and hear the roar of engines all around. Practical touches like the large scoreboard and full lighting rig elevate it to professional-grade status. The venue is also culturally significant: it is a social hub for Tauranga families and fans. Community events (weddings, school balls, local expos) often tap into Baypark’s atmosphere. Each year, events here bring thousands of visitors into the city. For example, recent sporting events at Baypark have been credited with adding hundreds of thousands of visitor-nights and significant tourist spending to the local economy (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). In short, both artists and athletes love the energy here, and audiences appreciate how this ruggedly modern stadium delivers big experiences in a friendly hometown setting.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility : Mercury Baypark is fully wheelchair-accessible. The main entry gates, all seating areas and most lounges are wheelchair-friendly, and lifts connect to upper levels (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Accessible toilets are provided throughout, and the venue can furnish accessible seating on request. If you have mobility needs, leave extra time to enter and let staff know of any requirements. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available everywhere in the venue (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ) if you need to arrange rides or coordinate with friends.
What to Bring – and Not Bring : Check your event’s policy, but in general, bring your ticket (printed or on a mobile device) and a photo ID. Dress comfortably and in layers – nights can get cool even in summer. For outdoor events, sunscreen and a hat are wise, while for chilly evenings a light jacket helps. The stadium can be dusty or muddy on rainy days, so wear suitable footwear. Ear protection is recommended for motorsport nights if you’re sensitive to noise. Do not bring outside alcohol or commercial food: only personal snacks (small sandwiches, sweets) are allowed (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Bag searches are routine, and certain items like large tripods, weapons, or glass containers are prohibited for safety. You can carry small cameras/phones for personal use, but professional video cameras or drones require permission from management (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Smoking (including vaping) is only allowed in designated outdoor zones. Photography of the proceedings (for personal memorabilia) is usually fine, but check if the specific event has restrictions.
Arrival Tips : Plan to arrive at least 30–45 minutes before an event starts. This lets you find parking and your seats without rush. The main box office (stadium office) opens on event days for ticket or information. After parking, the main entrance (for most events) is Gate 1 on Truman Lane; staff and clear signage will point the way to your section. The stadium plaza and concourse have shop stands and a website info kiosk (during larger events) to answer questions. Avoid arriving late on a packed day – busy/overloaded traffic can slow final entry. If you do get held up, remember nearly all seats (except those right on track-side) will still have a good view, and you can usually enter quietly without obstructing others.
Other Helpful Tips : Cloakrooms and bag checks may not be available, so carry only essentials. Consider using ear plugs (especially for race nights) and bringing cash for small vendors (though card payment is widely accepted now). Stay hydrated – water stations and fountains are on-site. If you have kids, note there are family restrooms and stroller parking. Beware of sharply angled seating/platform edges – hold children’s hands on the ascents/descents. In cooler months, the stadium lighting and open-air exposure means it can feel damp, so again bring a warmer layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the seating capacity of ASB Baypark Stadium?
ASB Baypark Stadium (Mercury Baypark Stadium) holds nearly 20,000 people at full capacity. About 17,000 of those are fixed seats in the grandstands, with the remainder in standing or field areas (www.bayvenues.co.nz ) (alamoana.net ). Because over 90% of seats are roofed, almost all ticket holders are sheltered (alamoana.net ).
How can I buy event tickets for ASB Baypark Stadium?
Tickets are sold through each event’s official channels. For big concerts or shows, tickets usually go on sale online months in advance. You can also often purchase tickets at the Mercury Baypark box office on the day of the event, space permitting. The stadium’s website advises checking with the event’s ticket provider and referring to the seating plan in your ticket confirmation (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Buying early is wise since popular events can sell out.
Where is ASB Baypark Stadium located and what are the parking options?
ASB Baypark Stadium is located at 81 Truman Lane, Mount Maunganui, near the Sandhurst Drive exit of SH2 (alamoana.net ) (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). It is on the outskirts of Tauranga city. The venue offers around 5,000 on-site parking spaces, and parking is free of charge (www.bayvenues.co.nz ) (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Guests are encouraged to arrive early for the best spots. Be aware that major events can cause traffic delays, so plan extra travel time or consider carpooling.
Is there public transportation to ASB Baypark Stadium?
There is no direct bus stop at the stadium. The nearest public transit point is the Bayfair Shopping Centre stop, which is a short walk (5–10 minutes) from Baypark (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Attendees can take any Baybus route to Bayfair and then walk or catch a shuttle/taxi to the stadium. Ride-share or taxi drop-offs should use side streets (like Te Maunga Lane) as indicated, since stopping on the highway can be unsafe (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ).
What are the best seats for watching motorsports at the stadium?
The best seats for speedway or drift events are in the large covered grandstand along the front straight (south side). These seats face the start/finish line and pit area and give a full view of the main straight (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). Mid-level rows in that stand are ideal, offering good blockage from sun or rain and clear sightlines. For general viewing, any seat along the oval has a good angle, but fans especially love the main stand for close-up action.
Are any seats or areas not recommended at ASB Baypark Stadium?
Seats directly behind a stage (if one is set up) should be avoided, since your view will be blocked. Also be mindful that end-stands (around the curves) have steeper seating, so those with mobility issues might prefer the flat south grandstand or VIP lounges. Otherwise, most seats provide a clear view of the track. Whenever a stage is used (for concerts or festivals), try to sit centered in front of it. Avoid upper corners at distant angles if you want to be close.
What is the policy on bringing food, drinks, or bags into the stadium?
To comply with venue policy, you may not bring in commercial food or alcohol. Bay Catering has exclusive catering rights, so any outside vendors are prohibited (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Personal snacks (like a small packed lunch or snack bars) are allowed. Bags will be checked at entry, and large backpacks or containers might not be permitted. Outside alcohol is banned. Water bottles are usually fine, but check if your event has any special rules. Lockers and coat checks generally aren’t provided, so carry only what you need.
How accessible is ASB Baypark Stadium for people with disabilities?
Mercury Baypark Stadium is fully wheelchair-accessible. The main stadium entrances and concourses have ramps and lifts for access to all levels (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). Accessible seating is available by request (usually in the front rows or special platforms) and there are reserved accessible parking spaces near the gate. Accessible restrooms are provided (www.bayvenues.co.nz ). In short, the venue is designed so patrons with mobility needs can enjoy the event with minimal barriers.
What food and drink options are available inside ASB Baypark Stadium?
Inside the stadium you can find multiple concession stands and food trucks managed by Bay Catering. These usually offer typical stadium fare: burgers, hot dogs, fries, nachos and drinks. At speedway events there will often be BBQ and coffee trucks on site (bayparkspeedway.co.nz ). There is a licensed bar area selling beer and wine. Food prices are on par with other large-venue concessions. Because Baypark caters from basic snacks to full meals, you can expect a variety (even ice cream and candy, as one race night program shows (bayparkspeedway.co.nz )). Note that no outside commercial food is allowed, so visitors use these on-site vendors.
Is there Wi-Fi and cell service at the stadium?
Yes – Mercury Baypark provides free public Wi-Fi throughout the venue (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). You will typically find a network called “Baypark” for guests. Once connected, you may have to accept the terms before use. Cell phone coverage is usually good in and around the stadium, so you can use your mobile data as backup. This makes checking e-tickets or ordering rides much easier, even on crowded event days.
What time do the gates open before an event?
Gate opening times vary by event. For race nights, gates often open 30–60 minutes before the first race starts. For concerts or festivals, doors typically open 1–2 hours before showtime to allow entry. Check your specific event ticket or notice for the exact “doors open” time. On the Mercury Baypark website, each event listing will specify the gate time. If in doubt, aim to arrive at least 45 minutes to an hour early to avoid queues and find your seat comfortably.
Can I bring children to events at Baypark Stadium?
Many events at Baypark are family-friendly, especially race nights and community fairs. Children under a certain age often get free or discounted admission at motorsport and festival events. However, some concerts or fight nights may have age restrictions (e.g. 16+ or 18+). Always check the event listing for age limits or child ticket pricing. If children do attend, they should stay with a guardian and may benefit from ear protection at loud race nights. Note also that strollers are typically permitted in concourse areas but may need to be folded in seated sections.
What are the weather/weather policies at ASB Baypark Stadium?
ASB Baypark Stadium is an outdoor venue, so events take place rain or shine (except under extreme wind or lightning). The south grandstand’s new roof means spectators will be mostly sheltered from rain (alamoana.net ). If rain is forecast, you should bring a rain jacket or poncho (umbrellas may be impractical in tight seating). In summer the sun can be strong – apply sunscreen and consider a hat for any unshaded areas. There are no “rain checks” unless an event is officially canceled. Delays can occur in wet weather (e.g. on-track slowdowns), so schedule accordingly. Always keep an eye on official event updates in case of weather-related announcements.
Are smoking or vaping allowed in the venue?
No. Smoking and vaping (including e-cigarettes) are only allowed in designated outdoor areas at Baypark. All indoor and seating areas are non-smoking. The stadium rules (consistent with NZ law) prohibit tobacco and vaping use except in signed “smoking areas” which are usually located just outside the stands. Please respect these rules and dispose of any cigarette litter in the bins provided. This policy helps ensure the comfort of all guests and complies with public health regulations.
Can I get a refund or exchange if I can’t attend my ticketed event?
Refund and exchange policies vary by event promoter. Typically, Mercury Baypark itself does not refund tickets; you must contact the official ticketing agent or promoter listed on your ticket. Some events allow reselling (on approved platforms), but be cautious of counterfeit tickets. Always buy through official channels to ensure ticket validity. If in doubt, check the terms on your ticket or on the venue’s info page – many concerts and shows have a strict no-refund/no-exchange policy unless an event is officially canceled or moved.
Are there age or dress code restrictions at ASB Baypark Stadium?
Generally, there is no formal dress code – fans usually wear casual or team apparel appropriate for the event. However, some events (e.g. corporate functions or charters) may request smart-casual attire. Age restrictions depend on the event: family and friends are welcome at most race meetings, but certain concerts or sports title events have 18+ age policies to serve alcohol. Always check the specific event terms. Otherwise, dress comfortably, and keep in mind that stadium seating can be concrete, so you might want a light jacket or cushion for cooler! tortor
Is free Wi-Fi available inside ASB Baypark Stadium?
Yes – free public Wi-Fi is supplied throughout Mercury Baypark Stadium and Arena (www.mercurybaypark.co.nz ). When you arrive, connect to the “Baypark” network and accept the terms on your device. This allows you to check event info, post photos or coordinate with friends. Keep in mind that performance may vary with crowd size, but generally it’s reliable for basic use.
