HAWKE'S BAY

Tickets for next week’s Hot Red Hawke’s Bay expo are at a record high, with just one week left for wine lovers to purchase tickets to the highly anticipated, one-of-a-kind show.

Tickets have continued to steadily fly out the door since sales opened and wine retailers selling tickets to the much anticipated annual expo are preparing for a week of heavy sales as the show draws near, with the Wellington show likely to be sold out ahead of time.

“We expect sales to climb further over the coming days as, in our experience, the last week is always frantic,” says Lyn Bevin, Executive Officer of Hawke’s Bay Winegrowers Inc.

Online ticket sales have now closed and general admission tickets for the first two shows in Christchurch on Tuesday 7 at the Town Hall and at The Duxton Hotel in Wellington on Wednesday 8 can be purchased at specific retailers in those cities. Tickets for the Auckland expo being held on Thursday 9 at The Heritage Hotel, can be booked by phoning 0800 442 9463.
