Vector Arena

I went to the renamed Spark arena the other day for a concert and it was such an amazing experience. The lights and music were done so well and even though I was standing and near the back I could still see the stage really clearly. They get some amazing international artists here and know how to put on a great show. Only this is the smell of alcohol becomes quite noticeable.

Excellent venue, very good events there, excellent location, way more convenient than other big concert venues in the city

Recently attended Spark Arena for Disney on Ice. Entry was well handled and staff were efficient. Inside the venue was clean, lots of toilets. We sat down on the lower bowl, was perfect viewing for the show.

Great venue for concerts.

Love attending events at Vector Arena - never been disappointed with seating / views, and I've attended a whole lot of concerts here (and even a sit down corporate dinner). Easy to get to, always professionally run, and a great multi-purpose venue.

Only downside is the cost of food items at the venue, which are (I feel) overpriced. That said, its a captive audience - and you can buy food at many places en-route to the venue, so you don't have to pay for this convenience. Note that drinks are sold in plastic cups (not glasses) - but you CAN take them in to concerts etc as a result.

Not many buses service this venue, but Britomart is a 10 minute walk away and there are buses available within a couple of minutes walk that can connect you to there. Plenty of cabs hover near the venue at concert closing times.
