About Club 121

Club 121 (now operating as **b.Space**) is a basement nightclub in Wellington’s Te Aro district, in the heart of the city’s nightlife hub. It occupies the former Cambridge Terrace Post Office building (1930s Art Deco era) with the ground floor hosting a hostel and cafes, and a dark, industrial dance club below street level (www.ticketfairy.com). Designed as a purpose-built club, this R18+ venue is famous for its underground, no-frills vibe and genre focus: it specialises in techno, house and other electronic dance music (www.ticketfairy.com). Reviewers rave about its “pulsating techno music” and a “top-notch sound system” that drive a high-energy atmosphere (www.ticketfairy.com). The decor is gritty and minimalist – exposed brick walls, steel beams and strobing lights – deliberately putting the DJ booth and dancefloor at the centre of experience (www.ticketfairy.com). Club 121 is small to mid-size by major club standards: there’s no seated auditorium, only general-admission standing room. The club can hold roughly a few hundred people on the dancefloor at once (around 200-300 guests) (www.ticketfairy.com). Every spot on the floor has a good view of the DJ, so there’s no official “best seat” – enthusiasts pack the area up front by the decks, while others may linger near the bar for a little breathing room (www.ticketfairy.com). Importantly, the crowd is known to be inclusive and music-focused: there is no VIP section or reserved seating, and regulars describe it as a friendly “hotspot for serious dancers” (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). In short, Club 121/b.Space matters to Wellington’s scene as a unique basement rave club that brings big-city underground sounds to the capital. Its historic setting and purpose-built sound/lighting system (often updated by local artists) gives it a character unlike standard bars (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

Events and Programming

The venue hosts electronic dance nights almost every weekend. Expect a mix of local and international DJs spinning techno, house, drum & bass or experimental electronica (www.ticketfairy.com). Wellington and New Zealand DJs like Eden Burns, Pugilist, Stormn Norm, Connor Tomoana and Chazz often headline regular club nights, with up-and-coming local acts (e.g. Vitamin Cos, Sión, Flatmate) taking opening or mid-line slots (www.ticketfairy.com). The club was relaunched in mid-February 2024 with a special event featuring UK producer Aloka and local guests Flatmate and Chazz (www.ticketfairy.com), and it has since hosted many themed marathon sessions (from deep techno all-nighters to genre-blending experimental sets) (www.ticketfairy.com). Promoter collectives and residency nights are common – for example, local crews like HowWeCanBe regularly curate b.Space events. While most programming is on Friday and Saturday evenings, the club sometimes throws daytime or weekday “open deck” showcases and special one-off parties (such as holiday-weekend or album-release events). Repeat events like “Coastal Club Night” or “Techno Tuesdays” are the norm, and guest international acts appear roughly every month or so. Most shows feature cover charges rather than free entry. Ticket prices vary by event: smaller local-DJ nights typically cost in the mid-teens (NZ$15–20) if purchased in advance, while shows with higher-profile DJs or weekends can range to NZ$25–35 (www.ticketfairy.com). Very large or overseas headliners might top out even higher. Major line-ups often sell out in advance, so early buying is recommended. (By contrast, weekday locals-only parties are sometimes lower-cost or donation-based.) The club’s liquor licence runs 7 days a week from late afternoon until 4:00am (www.ticketfairy.com) (wellington.govt.nz), so events commonly spill deep into the night or early morning hours. In short, Club 121/b.Space is known for a consistently robust lineup of underground dance music – practically every weekend offers a chance to hear Wellington DJs alongside touring techno acts (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

Tickets and Booking

Tickets are almost always sold online through official event platforms or promoter websites – there is no ticket booth at the door (www.ticketfairy.com). For big shows (international DJs or curated city nights) tickets usually go on sale 2–4 weeks before the date. Early-bird or pre-sale prices often start around NZ$15–20, then rise to about $25–30 as the event nears (www.ticketfairy.com). Premium or last-minute door tickets (when available) can be even higher, especially if the event is close to capacity (www.ticketfairy.com). In practice, the top end of pricing depends on the act’s fame – for example, a famous overseas DJ might carry an NZ$35+ cover, whereas local nights are cheaper. There is no formal membership scheme at Club 121, though the venue’s community-oriented vibe often means regular patrons get word-of-mouth or combo deals through parties and collectives (www.ticketfairy.com). For hard-ticket or special gigs, tickets are often uploaded to sites like Eventfinda or Resident Advisor (avoid confusion with social ticket offers). Word on the street is that popular events sell out, so it’s wise to buy online as soon as sales open (www.ticketfairy.com). Last-minute door sales may be offered for smaller events if the show isn’t sold out, but for sold-out nights do not count on entry at midnight. Always bring a printed or mobile copy of your ticket, but note the club itself won’t accept walk-ups without a valid ticket or reservation. As with any club show, expect to show valid photo ID (NZ driver’s licence or passport) at the door (www.ticketfairy.com). ID and the original ticket (or e-ticket code) are checked by security staff at entry.

Seating and Layout

Club 121’s interior is one large rectangular open-plan room – essentially a warehouse-like dancefloor (www.ticketfairy.com). The only furniture are a few loose stools or benches along the walls for resting. The DJ booth sits at one end of the floor, and the metal-bar serving drinks is at the opposite end (www.ticketfairy.com). Because it’s all standing-room general admission, any spot on the floor has a full view of the DJ. Regulars note that the very front row (by the DJ) is where the craziest dancers often go, but even near the back or sides you can still see the stage and get full sound immersion (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no balcony or VIP section – everyone dances together on the main floor. Acoustics are “in-your-face” club style: a high-powered sound system pumps heavy bass and crisp highs uniformly around the room (www.ticketfairy.com). This means sound coverage is excellent, but it can get very loud. If you’re sensitive to bass, you may want earplugs (many patrons do use them) or position yourself a little ways back from the speakers (www.ticketfairy.com). Smoke machines, strobes and LED lights are regularly in use during shows, creating an intense sensory environment. If you have photo-sensitivity, it’s wise to ease off to one side of the room during light-heavy moments (or near the entrance hall). Overall, the space feels very intimate and immersive – basically the crowd and DJ share the same concrete-and-brick box. In practice, “best views” are simply right on the dancefloor as close to the music as you dare (www.ticketfairy.com).

Getting There and Parking

**Address:** Club 121 (b.Space) is located at 21–23 Cambridge Terrace, Te Aro, Wellington 6011. The street-level entrance is on Cambridge Terrace (between Willis Street and Tory Street), directly below the signage for Base Backpackers. This area is in the city centre just one short block north of Courtenay Place and about 2 blocks east of Cuba Street. In other words, it’s smack-dab in Wellington’s nightlife precinct, within easy walking distance of many bars and restaurants. **Public Transit:** The location is extremely well-serviced by buses. Several frequent routes run along Willis Street (corner of Willis & Cambridge) – for example, the No.1 and No.2 city-through routes stop right by the venue (www.ticketfairy.com). The No.23 and express No.30X also stop close by on Willis/Cambridge (www.ticketfairy.com), and the No.57 circle route stops along Courtenay Place a minute’s walk away (www.ticketfairy.com). Wellington’s main Railway Station (serving Johnsonville and Wairarapa lines and Hutt Valley trains) is roughly a 10–15 minute walk north (exit onto Bunny Street or Lambton Quay then head toward Courtenay Place (www.ticketfairy.com)). The Wellington Cable Car terminal at Lambton Quay is about a 10-minute walk downhill. Evening buses continue through the city until around midnight on most major routes. Overall, you can easily get to the club via city buses or train – it’s very central. **Driving/Parking:** Street parking in the immediate vicinity is very limited. Right outside the club on Cambridge Terrace there are only about a dozen metered spaces (council meters). These charge around NZ$5 per hour on weeknights, with a strict 2-hour limit (www.ticketfairy.com). For longer stays, the nearest public car parks are the Marion Street Wilson park (just a block or two west on Astronomer St) or the civic-area car parks. The Marion lot has flat evening/overnight rates (around NZ$12–$18 for all night) (www.ticketfairy.com). Another option is SecureParking on Taranaki Street, one block west, which offers short-term deals (roughly NZ$5–10 for a few hours) (www.ticketfairy.com). In practice, many locals recommend catching a ride or drinking taxi home, since parking can be a hassle. **Rideshare/Taxi/Drop-off:** Late-night ride-hailing (Uber/Ola) and taxis are popular here. There is a taxi rank on Courtenay Place (a block south) and rideshare drivers will happily stop at the corner of Cambridge Terrace and Willis/Courtenay to drop passengers. The club frontage has a small pull-in/drop-off area on Cambridge Terrace. If arriving by rideshare or taxi, you can just be dropped at the curb near the entrance. Overall, 21 Cambridge Terrace is very central – if you drive, plan extra time to find parking, otherwise you can almost always hop off a shuttle or cab nearby (www.ticketfairy.com).

Inside the Venue

As you enter b.Space (Club 121), expect a raw, underground club vibe. Guests descend a stairwell into a pitch-dark basement. At the street-level entrance there will usually be one or two door-staff/bouncers checking IDs and inspecting bags (www.ticketfairy.com). Once inside, you find a single sprawling industrial room. The décor is minimal – exposed brick walls, steel beams and bare concrete floors – and the lighting remains low except for the strobing club lights and laser beams that cut through haze. The music is absolutely the focus here, thumping through a top-end speaker system. There are typically one or two small bars along one side of the room. The bars serve beer, spirits and cocktails; drink prices are standard for a city club (for instance, NZ$5–7 for a pint or NZ$10+ for cocktails) (www.ticketfairy.com). Bar service is usually cashless (credit/debit cards accepted); if you prefer cash, note they do take it. Outside food or drink is not allowed inside, so guests usually eat beforehand. The bars can get busy – on sold-out nights you might queue up for a minute to get served (www.ticketfairy.com). Facilities are very basic. Restrooms (separate men’s/women’s cubicles) are through a door at the back; they are typically small and can have lines on busy nights (www.ticketfairy.com). There is generally *no* coat-check or cloakroom (space is tight), so the management strongly advises travelling light: leave large bags or bulky coats at home. Cellphone reception tends to be poor underground, and there is no free Wi-Fi, so expect spotty signal. Another thing to note is that the venue is entirely standing/dancing – there are *no* lounge seats or quiet rooms inside (www.ticketfairy.com). If you need a break from dancing, the very tiny non-dancing area is near the bar or entrance. The atmosphere is loud, sweaty and communal, but people describe it as friendly. The crowd is there for the music, so conversation often happens on the dancefloor or at the bar. If it’s your first visit, just remember: valid photo ID and ticket in hand, casual club clothes (jeans, sneakers, tees are fine), and maybe earplugs if you have sensitive ears (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

Nearby Amenities

Because Club 121 sits in the city centre, a variety of other venues are steps away. Within just a block or two you can find dozens of restaurants and bars. For pre-show dining, Courtenay Place (one block south) and Cuba Street (just west) are packed with options. A few callouts along Courtenay Place include Poquito (modern Mexican fare), Fidelity Lounge (upscale burgers and pub food), and Evox Tiki Lounge (Polynesian-inspired grill) (www.ticketfairy.com). A little further or on Cuba Street, places like Ultra Violets (sweet crepes and sandwiches) and Lido (Mediterranean kitchen) will cover quick snacks or sit-down dinners. Many late-night diners (a McDonald’s and a 24-hour Subway) also operate just off Courtenay if you arrive very hungry. Evening drinks are plentiful on the same block of Courtenay Place: nearby bars and pubs include The Rogue & Vagabond (beer/pub cuisine), Fork & Brewer (brewpub on Cuba), and the Thistle Inn (log-cabin style pub), which are popular for warm-ups before hitting the club. There is also a small liquor store/bottle shop on Courtenay if you need late-drink supplies beforehand (though be sure to finish them before entering the club – outside drinks are not permitted inside). If overnight accommodations are needed, there are several nearby hotels and hostels. Base Backpackers is literally in the same building as the club (21-23 Cambridge Terrace), and other hostels like Nomads and YHA are a few minutes’ walk away. Hotel options in a 5-10 minute radius include Rydges and James Cook on Victoria Street, and the Ibis and QT on Courtenay Place. This density of lodging makes it easy for late-night partygoers who want to sleep off the night without travelling far. After the show, you won’t be stranded. Late-night Metlink buses run out to the suburbs until around midnight, and taxi ranks circulate along Courtenay Place (www.ticketfairy.com). There is a major taxi stand at the corner of Courtenay and Cambridge Terrace, and Uber/Ola drivers frequently pick up at that corner or pull into the little Cambridge Terrace drop-off zone (www.ticketfairy.com). Late-night trains and buses are less frequent, but plenty of shared rides and taxis are always available by closing time. In short: you’re surrounded by food, drink and transit options, so the only question is how late you can stay up!

What Makes This Venue Special

Club 121 (b.Space) has carved out a unique place in Wellington’s nightlife culture. Unlike a cookie-cutter bar or generic live venue, it’s literally built as an underground club from the ground up (www.ticketfairy.com). Its basement location (a 1930s post office turned hostel turned rave club) fills the dancefloor-centric space missing in many Wellington venues. Regulars fondly call it “Wellington’s favourite basement” because the old architecture gives the experience character – you truly feel like you’re dancing in a piece of the city’s history (www.ticketfairy.com). Culturally, b.Space revitalized the electronic scene in town. After the original Club 121 closed in the early 2020s, DJs and clubbers needed a permanent home for underground music – b.Space (launching 2024) answered that call (www.ticketfairy.com). It became “synonymous with SESH events and underground parties” nationally, meaning it was where Wellington’s grass-roots techno and drum’n’bass nights made a comeback (www.ticketfairy.com). The club is known for an egalitarian ethos – no velvet ropes or VIP enclosures, just everybody on the same dancefloor. This community focus means local DJs have a true “home” to experiment and take creative risks, and Wellington audiences get to see acts that normally would play only in bigger cities. (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com) Another special aspect is the production quality. The sound system and lighting rig receive regular artistic upgrades, so each night feels fresh. Local reviewers praise b.Space’s setup as “top-notch,” and international artists have noted the quality is comparable to famous clubs overseas (www.ticketfairy.com). Over the years, legendary sets have been played here – including some Wellington-first performances by prominent New Zealand electronica artists. In the club’s gritty, windowless space, the bass literally reverberates off the walls, providing an authentic analogue-rave feel that both island-wide clubbers and adventurous locals cherish (www.ticketfairy.com). In sum, what makes Club 121 special is this: it’s one of the few true underground nightclubs in New Zealand, housed in an atmospheric heritage basement, with world-class sound and an ever-evolving underground music lineup. Its combination of raw historical charm, inclusive crowd, and cutting-edge music programming makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking Wellington’s authentic late-night culture (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

Visitor Tips and Information

**Accessibility:** Unfortunately, Club 121 is *not* wheelchair accessible. The club entrance is a staircase (with a ramp adjacent) leading down into an enclosed basement (www.ticketfairy.com). There are no elevators or ramps to the dancefloor, so it cannot accommodate wheelchairs or mobility scooters (www.ticketfairy.com). Anyone with mobility issues should be aware of the steps-down and consider contacting the venue beforehand. Also note that the interior is very dark and the sound extremely loud, which can be challenging for patrons with certain sensory sensitivities. **What to Bring:** Pack only the essentials. You *must* bring a valid photo ID (NZ driver’s licence or passport) because strict 18+ age checks are enforced at entry (www.ticketfairy.com). Dress code is casual and neat – think of relaxed clubwear (jeans, T-shirt, sneakers) rather than anything formal or beachy (www.ticketfairy.com). Do *not* bring prohibited items like weapons or glass bottles. Because there’s a security bag check at the door, it’s easiest to carry a small bag or none at all. Large backpacks and oversized coats are discouraged (there’s no coat check) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). Leave valuables (extra cash, expensive electronics, etc.) at home or locked up – the bar takes card payments, so you don’t need to bring much cash inside. **Banned Items:** Outside food and drink are absolutely not allowed. No smoking cigarettes or vaping is allowed inside the club – smoking is only permitted just outside the venue entrance (www.ticketfairy.com). Professional camera gear or camera bags might be searched; however, personal cameras and phones are generally fine. The one caveat is that once the music starts, flashing cameras or video lights that bother others may be politely discouraged by staff (www.ticketfairy.com). **Health & Safety:** The music system is extremely loud and bass-heavy. If you plan to stand near the speakers or dance floor for long periods, consider bringing earplugs. Many regulars swear by high-fidelity earplugs to protect hearing while still feeling the bass (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). The club typically fills with haze or fog effects, so wear what you’re comfortable with in terms of breathing. Drink water as needed – bottled water is available at the bar – and pace yourself if you plan to stay late. The venue is well-staffed on busy nights with security and bar staff; in case of any emergency, exits are clearly marked and staff will guide you out. **Timing:** Nights at Club 121 start late. Doors usually open around 9–10pm and music kicks off almost immediately (www.ticketfairy.com). Shows tend to run straight through until closing at 4:00am (club licence allows alcohol until 4am) (www.ticketfairy.com). If you want to avoid the longest entry queues, arrive when doors open or within the first hour of opening. Often a “last admission” time is announced (commonly by midnight for big events) – check your event info or social media. Locals say arriving before 11pm is a safe bet to beat the rush. After closing, remember that major bus lines stop running around midnight (weekday) or 1am (weekend). Rideshare apps and taxis will still be available, but wait times can grow if everyone leaves at once. **Other Tips:** There is no cloakroom or safe storage – if you must bring a coat or backpack, be prepared to keep it with you or wear it. There is no Wi-Fi inside, so you might agree on meeting points with friends in advance (for example, outside at the main entrance or in the lobby of the hostel above). Because the club is 18+ and drug checks are taken seriously, do not bring any illegal substances; any suspicion may mean refusal of entry or ejection. Finally, embrace the energy! This is a place for dancing and good vibes – enjoy the light show, chat up friendly neighbours on the dancefloor, and respect the community spirit. With a valid ticket and ID, positive attitude and a sense of adventure, you’re all set for a great night at Club 121/b.Space.

What is the address of Club 121 and how do I get there?

Club 121 (b.Space) is at **21–23 Cambridge Terrace, Te Aro, Wellington 6011**. It’s in the city centre, between Willis and Tory Streets (just north of Courtenay Place). You can easily get there by public transport: buses like the No.1, 2, 23 and 30X stop along Willis/Cambridge near the club (www.ticketfairy.com). Wellington Station is a 10–15 min walk and the Cable Car terminal on Lambton Quay is ~10 min away. If driving, note there’s limited 2-hour street parking on Cambridge Terrace (~$5/hr) (www.ticketfairy.com) and larger car parks on Marion or Taranaki Streets. Taxis/Uber can drop off at the corner of Cambridge/Willis or Courtenay Place, right by the entrance (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

Is Club 121 wheelchair accessible?

No. Club 121 is a basement venue reached by stairs, and there are no elevators or ramps down to the club level (www.ticketfairy.com). This makes it **not wheelchair accessible**. Anyone in a wheelchair or with significant mobility needs should be aware that the entrance has steps. The venue suggests contacting them in advance if you have accessibility concerns.

What kind of events does Club 121 host?

Club 121/b.Space primarily hosts **electronic music** events: think techno, house, drum & bass, and experimental electronic nights (www.ticketfairy.com). You’ll find a mixture of local Wellington DJs and producers (like Eden Burns, Pugilist, Chazz and others) alongside touring techno talents. Weekly weekend club nights are common, and there are often special one-off parties or themed techno marathons. The club reopened in Feb 2024 with an event headlined by UK DJ Aloka, and since then it regularly features both NZ and international acts (www.ticketfairy.com). If you like underground dance music, this is where Wellington’s scene lives.

How much do tickets cost and where can I buy them?

Ticket prices vary by event. Smaller or local nights typically start around **NZ$15–20** in advance, whereas big-name DJs or themed shows can be **NZ$25–35 or more** (www.ticketfairy.com). Tickets are sold online through event or promoter websites – there is no physical box office at the club (www.ticketfairy.com). Popular shows often sell out, so it’s best to buy online weeks ahead at sites like Eventfinda or Resident Advisor (or via the event’s social media). Early-bird pricing usually applies for the first batch, then prices go up later (www.ticketfairy.com). If tickets remain, some nights offer a door sale, but don’t count on it for sold-out events.

Where are the best spots to stand inside Club 121?

Since Club 121 has no seating and is all general admission, the “best” spot depends on your preference. For the closest view of the DJ and the strongest club sound, stand up front near the DJ booth (www.ticketfairy.com). If you need a bit more space or a cooler volume, people often hang back near the sides or around the bar. There are a few benches along the walls if you need a break, but most of the dance floor is standing-only. Wherever you stand on the dancefloor, you’ll still get full sound coverage – it’s an immersive room (www.ticketfairy.com). In short: front row for full energy, near the bar for a buffer.

What is Club 121’s age restriction and ID policy?

Club 121 is strictly an **18+ venue**. You must show a valid photo ID (NZ driver’s licence or passport) at the door (www.ticketfairy.com). No one under 18 is allowed. Door staff will check IDs rigorously. In terms of attire, dress neatly and casually – jeans, T-shirts and sneakers are fine (www.ticketfairy.com). Formal formalwear or beachwear are out of place, but there’s no strict “dress code” beyond being neat. Bags are often searched on entry for security. Always have your ID ready to ensure smooth admission.

Can I take photos or videos inside Club 121?

Yes you can bring a phone or camera, but there are some guidelines. Phone cameras and regular video are usually okay **so long as they don’t bother others** (no paparazzi flashes on the dancefloor). The staff generally ask that you don’t use flash photography once the music has started (as it’s distracting) (www.ticketfairy.com). Light video and still shots without flash are typically fine. Just be respectful – if a performer or fellow clubber asks you to stop or put away a camera, comply with their request.

Are there coat check or storage facilities?

No, there is *no* cloakroom or secure coat check in Club 121. Space inside is at a premium, so you need to carry any coats or bags with you. It’s recommended to wear a light jacket or only take a small bag – anything large might be disallowed. If you have a coat, you might have to hold onto it or wear it. Basically, plan to travel light: leave non-essentials at home or in your hotel. (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

What forms of payment are accepted at the bar?

The bars inside Club 121 are cashless or card-only. They accept credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), but do not accept coins or notes. If you prefer, carry a small amount of cash for tip or backup, but plan to pay with card for drinks. Drinks are reasonably priced for a nightclub (beers around NZ$5–7, cocktails around NZ$10+ (www.ticketfairy.com)). Also, there are no cash ATMs inside, so withdraw money beforehand if needed.

Are food or drinks allowed to be brought into Club 121?

No. Outside food and beverages are not permitted at Club 121. You must finish any snacks or drinks before entering. There are bars inside where you can buy drinks (beer, cocktails, etc.), so plan to eat beforehand. (If you absolutely need water, note the bars may sell bottled water.) The staff will not let you bring in your own drinks, and doing so will get them confiscated.

Is smoking allowed inside Club 121?

No. Smoking is strictly forbidden inside the club. By law in New Zealand, indoor smoking is banned in all bars and clubs. If you want to smoke, you need to step outside the main entrance – the doorway area on Cambridge Terrace is the designated smoking spot (www.ticketfairy.com). (The doors may open from time to time, but mainly guests pop outside for a quick break.)

What transportation options are best late at night?

Late at night, rideshare and taxis are usually easiest. There is a taxi stand on Courtenay Place right next door, and Uber/Ola drivers often queue on Courtenay/Cambridge (www.ticketfairy.com). Metlink buses continue until about midnight–1am on weekends, but schedules thin out after that. If you’re planning to stay past midnight, arrange a rideshare pickup (to Courtenay/Cambridge corner) or walk to the nearest taxi rank. Just note that the club’s license ends at 4am, so from 4am onwards public transit is very limited and taxis may surge. Uber works until the early hours though, usually at higher rates.

Why was Club 121 closed and what is b.Space?

Club 121 was the name of this basement club up until early 2023, when it closed temporarily. In 2024 the space was revitalized and officially rebranded as **b.Space** (www.ticketfairy.com). It’s essentially the same venue at 21 Cambridge Terrace under new branding and management, continuing the underground party tradition. So while “Club 121” as a name isn’t used anymore, people discussing the location often still call it the old name. All the event listings and social media now use “b.Space,” but if you’re searching online, know they are one and the same venue (www.ticketfairy.com).

How late does Club 121 stay open?

Club 121 operates under an on-licence that allows service from late afternoon through the night. In practice, doors open around 9–10pm and the club runs until 3–4am (www.ticketfairy.com). Music typically plays until 4:00am (closing time). The exact closing time can vary by event and council regulations, but 4am is the usual cut-off. If you want to dance until the end, just note the last admission is often around midnight for busy events (www.ticketfairy.com). After hours, plan your ride accordingly (e.g. taxi or late bus).

What are the typical ticket sale periods?

For popular Club 121 shows, tickets usually go on sale **a few weeks in advance**. Early bird tickets often drop as soon as the event is announced, and later prices go up incrementally (www.ticketfairy.com). Promoters usually post sale dates on social media or event pages. If it’s a club night with big acts, expect to see tickets listed on websites like Eventfinda about 2–4 weeks before the night. For smaller local nights, it’s fine to buy at the last minute if not sold out. The key tip is: for headliner nights, check event pages early and snag pre-sales or advance tickets in NZ$15–20 range, because door price can jump on the night (www.ticketfairy.com).
