Out of this World - Viagogo scam

Obviously Viagogo recognises that this is going to be a wonderful concert as they are trying to scam the public by offering tickets to this at 6 times the price of the tickets that you can buy from Ticketek. Apart from that Viagogo won't say where the seats are, whereas if you buy on line from Ticketek you get a seating plan and you can choose seats. They are cunning, because if you Google "Out of this World", New Plymouth their website comes up first.
I don't know how this company (that isn't registered in NZ) is allowed to continue to operate here and to scam people like this.
But be warned and if you are wanting to go to this concert get your tickets from Ticketek (either at the box office or on-line).

Its going to rain in Taranaki - surprise, surprise

So much of the time the event never happens or is no worse than usual weather patterns. My recommendation is to just view the local weather map. If there is a high coming it will likely be good to reasonable weather and if the isobars are close together and accompanied by a front it is probably going to be windy and wet.

In one case recently we were warned of huge 8 metre waves but the small print said in the Chatham Islands. I appreciate they are trying to help and bad events do happen (often without warning such as our recent tornado) but please a little common sense.
