The Auckland Town Hall Box Office is to the right of the main entrance (on Queen Street) as you come into the building. It opens 90 minutes before the start of performances.

The Auckland Town Hall consists of the Great Hall (seating map) and Concert Chamber (seating map). Take the 3D tour of the venue.

The Civic Car Park is a short distance from Aotea Square, Aotea Centre, The Civic and Auckland Town Hall, as well as other Aotea Arts Quarter venues, making it a great option for attending shows and events.

From 28 May 2024:
Cash payments are no longer available for Auckland Transport car parks, including The Civic Car Park. 

To save queuing after your event, prepay for your parking at the pay machines from 6pm weekdays, or anytime Saturday and Sunday. 

You can also pay when you're ready to leave through the AT Park app.
As there is no internet reception in the underground car park, finish the parking session in-app prior to entering the car park to leave.

Mobility parking:
During standard hours, the first 2 hours of mobility parking are free with usual rates applied afterwards. After 6pm and on weekends, mobility parking is free.

It is important, however, to remember that sometimes all our venues are filled with events. Make sure you have a backup parking plan. 

As of July 2021, paper tickets are no longer required at The Civic Carpark. When you drive in, your licence plate number will be scanned and the gate will open. Once you're ready to leave, you can pay by entering your licence plate number via the AT Park app (note, you may need to make payment prior to entering the underground area to remain in range of cell phone service). If you don't have the app, you can pay via a payment machine by inputing your licence plate number. Once your payment has been made, simply drive straight out.

To ensure your time in our venues is spent with your friends & whānau and enjoying the show we are now cashless in all our bars, cafes and box office.  Going cashless means, we can speed up our customer service and avoid patrons waiting in queues. Thank you for your ongoing support and feel free to contact us at feedback@aucklandlive.co.nz – if you require any further information.

There are many great eating options for a snack or a full meal near the Town Hall. When special events such as Auckland Live Summer in the Square are running, you can also take advantage of snacks and refreshments at The Terrace Cafe, and the Container in the Square Cafe.
