ASB Waterfront Theatre

Our stunning home is in the lively and rapidly growing Wynyard Quarter district. Adjacent to downtown Auckland, the ASB Waterfront Theatre is located at 138 Halsey Street.

Transport Public

Bus numbers 75 (via Remuera and Newmarket) and 20 (via Kingsland and Ponsonby), and the CityLink buses take you into the heart of Wynyard Quarter. From Britomart and the Ferry Terminal, Wynyard Quarter is an enjoyable 15-minute walk along the city’s beautiful waterfront via Quay Street and over Te Wero Bridge. Visit at.govt.nz for the most up-to-date public transport information.

Cycling

Bike stands are available outside the theatre on both Halsey and Madden Streets.

Parking

Take the hassle out of finding a car park before the show by pre-booking a space at our theatre car park, located at 94 Jellicoe Street. The car park is a five-minute walk away from the theatre and available from 5.45pm Monday to Friday, and from two hours prior to the show time on Saturdays and Sundays. The car park closes one hour after the end of a performance. Visit asbwaterfronttheatre.co.nz or call the box office to book a space.

Theatre Opening Hours

The box office, foyers and bar open at least one hour prior to each Auckland Theatre Company show. Our theatre bar offers a range of premium wines, beverages, food and ice cream.

Q Theatre

Q Theatre, at 305 Queen St, Auckland CBD, is relaxed and stimulating. Its foyer area is full of people enjoying a drink after work and theatre-goers catching up before a show.

Transport

Auckland CBD is a busy and bustling place in the evening and this can mean traffic and parking queues, especially when there are roadworks under way. We encourage you to allow plenty of time to get to the venue, particularly when you’re heading in for a show.

Public

Q Theatre is a short walk from Britomart central train station and many bus routes have stops right outside. For train and bus routes to Q Theatre, please visit at.govt.nz and type in 305 Queen Street, Auckland Central, as your destination.

Parking

Parking is available at Q Theatre, including at the Civic Car Park where accessible parking is available.

Pre-Show Dining

Citizen Q 305 Queen St (09) 282 4402 qtheatre.co.nz

Whether you’re attending a performance at Q Theatre or not, Citizen Q provides a welcoming and inclusive space for guests from all walks of life. One hundred per cent of the profits generated from the kitchen and bar go towards supporting what happens on the stages at Q Theatre.

What’s New for Subscribers

Premium Seating

Select premium seats and watch all the action unfold from the best seats in the house. Premium seating is available for all performances.

Preview and Standard only Production seasons are made of two Preview performances prior to opening night, whose tickets are available at bargain prices, and the rest of the season has Standard pricing. There is no longer premiere week pricing.

Changes to Snap a Seat

Snap a Seat subscribers will be among the first to see each show, for a bargain price. You can now pick the Preview performance that suits you and choose your seats.

See more, save more

The more shows you add to your Design Your Own subscription, the greater the discount applied per ticket. When you pick four shows, you'll save 10% of Standard ticket prices; if you see five shows, you'll save 15%. Or, save up to 30% when you see all six shows with a Full Season Pass.

Fixed prices

As it is with airlines, our prices start low and rise as the performance becomes busier. However, prices for subscribers are immune to any changes in price – as a subscriber, you are able to purchase additional tickets at the additional ticket rates on page 3 – all year round!

Book online. No fees
