We go to Westpac Stadium mostly for Hurricanes and Wellington Lions games, have also been for All Blacks tests and other events like Home and Garden shows.
The entry process is efficient if you have tickets already however if you purchase tickets at gate there is sometimes long delays so this needs to be sorted.
Food queues can take some time as well but food variety inside the Stadium is getting better. You cannot generally take food into the Stadium nor drink.
Seating wise you can see all the ground from anywhere, there is nothing restricted for rugby events so whether you get a Platinum ticket or a Bronze, that's most expensive to cheapest it doesn't affect your viewing.
Transport to and from is great. We catch the train in from Paremata and we are home normally within an hour of the finish of any event which is great.
Lovely stadium. Good parking. Easy to get to. There is a variety of expos held here.
Great stadium, even when at capacity with 60k people packed in, access it still easy. Great design, well thought out for foot traffic and a convenient train line right to the stadium. The only downside is the food quality for its price.
Unique "cake tin" design stadium that houses 60+ thousand fans. Located in the capital of New Zealand, the stadiums on the edge of Wellington city. Close to the train station and offers exceptional rest rooms, parking and general space.
A great stadium for viewing sport. Easy to get in and out of even when there's a sell out. Only downside is the food can be a let down but this has got better recently.
Main stadium for major sports events in Wellington. warning, it gets cold here, so wrap up. Food and beverages are on the expensive side, with fast food being the main commodity. Cool (literally) place.
Had an awesome experience at Westpac when I visited. The transport links into the stadium are good and it is only a short walk back into the city. The facilities are great and the view from most seating to the pitch is great. One of the better stadiums I have been to.
Totally loved the lions experience which why I gave it a 5 however small points cubicals instead of urinals is plain dumb. One entrance and exit is stupid how are you meant to get out early in the event of fire or major incident. There should be doors to the concourse every 25m this them means it won't take 30 minutes to get out of the ground. Other than that awesome
Never had any trouble with queues. Stadium was clean enough. Food leaves a lot to be desired. Expensive and gross. Staff a little ill informed but nice enough. All I have to say is pack a lunch and you'll be fine.
Queue at ticket counter was longer than we thought it would be but the ticketing officer was patient and got us great seats for our budget. Great atmosphere for a super rugby night and I thought nobody watched it anymore. Easy to find seats.
Wellington's premier sports venue. Good access. Improved food options.
A good Stadium in a good location. But if the weather is cool, make sure to wear plenty of warm clothing and maybe a hat. The wind rips through the stadium with a real force. Terrace bar is fantastic!
This is stadium located in one of the windiest cities in the world, so you'd expect them to be able to set up a concert to ensure wind doesn't disconnect the speaker stacks from an entire half of the stage. You'd be wrong. With every minute spent in this place, you'll wonder, "is someone singing?", "is that a guitar I hear?," or "is the body of the person who approved a stadium like this without a roof buried under the pitch?".
Needless to say, if you ever feel like you want to throw away several hundred dollars, die in a stampede while trying to get a beer, or just generally feel like getting pissed on like President Trump in a Russian hotel then, by all means, buy a ticket to an event here.
