The New Zealand Promoters Association (NZPA) warns ticket buyers to ONLY purchase event tickets through advertised authorised sellers.
Following previous warnings against buying from unauthorised sellers such as Viagogo, the latest ticket reseller where misrepresented tickets are being marketed as genuine is StubHub.
It was brought to the attention of co-promoters Showcase Entertainment and Pacific Entertainment today that StubHub is selling tickets to a non-existent Ten Tenors concert at the Manukau Events Centre in Auckland on 1 March 2027. The actual Auckland concert is at the Aotea Centre on 28 February 2027. There are also tickets to several other Ten Tenors shows at other venues for sale through StubHub, but promoters warn against trusting any tickets for their tour being marketed through the site that are all at significantly inflated prices.
The tour has a total of eleven NZ wide concert dates in February / March next year, all ticketed through Ticketmaster (Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Rotorua), Ticketek (Nelson, Invercargill, Palmerston North, Napier and Tauranga) and The Regent Theatre (via the Dunedin box office). The tour’s marketing clearly lists the venues and dates and directs ticket buyers to The Ten Tenors website, which subsequently goes to the correct and authorised outlet for purchase.
The Due Drop Events Centre, Auckland Live and the Commerce Commission have been notified of this fraudulent activity, and all the members of the NZ Promoters Association alerted to activity impacting other shows. It is not yet understood how many shows and venues have been affected.
Anyone impacted please report directly to the Commerce Commission via
