Wings tickets selling fast. Are you going?

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival 2019 tickets are flying out the door. Ticket sales are up 35% compared to the same time last Festival. There have been significant ticket sales from the UK, North America and Australia.
Saturday Corporate Tables and Gold Passes have all sold out months in advance and there are limited hospitality options remaining for Sunday 24 February.
Wings General Manager, Jenny Gasson puts the huge increase in ticket sales down to a number of things.
“The word is getting out about our new initiatives for 2019; people are getting excited and want to experience these for themselves.”
“In 2019 we’re showcasing interactive and engaging displays, demonstrations and hands-on activities. We are offering workshops in rocketry, digital fabrication and coding, circuitry workshops, and people will be able to talk to experts with a range of aviation experience such as engineers, pilots and technicians.”
“We think that many people who’ve been before have realised that this show is going to be a completely new experience, and our new look Air Festival is attracting new audiences, our ticket sales clearly show this.”

Mitre 10 $20 Store Card Boxing Day Promotion

Dave from Masterton District

If you shopped at Mitre 10 Masterton on Boxing Day, redeemed a Mitre 10 Gift Card, but was refused a $20 Store Card for every $100 spent, contact Mitre 10 Customer & Store Support at customersupport@mitre10.co.nz.

Mitre 10 Masterton staff misinterpreted the promotion’s terms & conditions, as can be seen in the screenshot of the email I received in response to my query after my partner redeemed a $200 Mitre 10 Gift Card and was told she was ineligible for two $20 Store Cards
