MAYOR’S WELCOME
T
aste of Auckland is one of the highpoints of the major events programme and an event I look forward to very much. I cannot think of a more appropriate way to show off Auckland’s rich culinary expertise and celebrated cuisine than at New Zealand’s most glamorous food festival. Major events play a key role in Auckland’s long term economic and social aspirations. In the last three months alone Auckland has hosted the ITU World Triathlon Championships, Adidas Auckland Marathon, New Zealand Fashion Week and Diwali Festival. Taste of Auckland provides a unique food experience for everyone. Nga mihi. Mayor of Auckland Len Brown.
Transport
It’s easy to get to and from Victoria Park using public transport. From Britomart you can take the red CityLINK bus to Wynyard Quarter, which passes Victoria Park. The green InnerLINK and amber OuterLINK buses also go past Victoria Park. If you live on the North Shore, the Northern Express buses (that travel via the Northern Busway) all pass Victoria Park. You can get off outside the Air New Zealand building, or the Vodafone building. For more information on public transport, including the Journey Planner, visit www.AT.co.nz

CROWNS
Crowns – The currency of Taste of Auckland This year Crowns have gone digital and are stored electronically on Crown Cards. Crowns are the official currency of Taste of Auckland and are used to buy dishes from restaurants and drinks from our various vendors. Two Crowns are worth $2; dishes are priced between 8-12 Crowns each. Please note that restaurants and bars will not accept cash for tasting dishes or for drinks consumed at the event (with the exception of the VIP Lounge). However, if you are purchasing products to be enjoyed at home you can use either Crowns or cash. Where do I get Crown Cards? You can purchase a Crown Card directly from the Taste Bank or watch out for one of our roving Crown Card sellers dressed in hot pink. How are Crown Cards purchased? Crowns are loaded directly onto your Crown Card by our roving Crown sellers or at the Taste Bank. Crowns may be bought with eftpos, credit card or cash. Exhibitors cannot load Crowns onto your Crown Card, they can only deduct. No Refunds What if I have left over Crowns? Crowns cannot be redeemed for cash at the end of the event. Should you have any Crowns left on your Crown Card use these to purchase goods to take home from one of the exhibitors or pass on to friends who may be taking part in another Taste session in 2012. Crowns will not be valid after November 18, 2012. Please treat Crown Cards as you would cash. Lost cards cannot be replaced. Please hand in your used Crown Card on the way out – we’ll make a charitable donation of 35c for each card collected. A note on Alcohol: Drinks for consumption at the festival are sold by the glass only. Please do not open a bottle of alcohol at the festival as this conflicts with our arrangement with the Auckland District Police. You will be required to leave if found with an open bottle.
