|

It might sound like a daft question, but do the bigger names in music ever come to NZ? If so is there a decent online booking site such as ticketmaster that we have back here in blighty?
I only ask so that I can see if there will be anyone worth seeing in the future.......many thanks in advance |

| Its a bloody long way for a band to go considering the likely turnout for gigs. Population is very small compared to here. |

It might be a long way but some groups do go there. They may only play in 1 place like Auckland - eg Robbie Williams with Duran Duran played there in December, UB40 are out there soon.
Kelis ('Milkshake' song and 'Trick me') is in Auckland in July
The Wellington Convention centre boasts these as past events: 
Past Events Include
Shaggy * Pantera * Creedence Clearwater Revisited and The Little River Band * David Gray * Pink * Ben Harper, with Jack Johnson * Bob Dylan * Paul Oakenfold * Summer Jam 2001, 2002 and 2003 * Ronan Keating * Tool * 5ive * Tina Turner * Janet Jackson * Great China Circus
There are some big names there 
1 place to buy tickets is:
www.ticketek.com
Look - they even have Disney Live there!! What more could you want

Hi,
Back in 98 when i was in Auckland, in my raving days, the Ministry of sound played a massive gig there, loads of top name DJ's, if you like that sort of thing. 
Also i'm in touch with an Aussie who lives in Byron Bay, he reckons you can get flights to Sydney or Brisbane for as little as 30 to 40 pound stirling these days(got no pound sign, American keyboard), so that's another option.
