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.

The Bruce Mason Centre is at the heart of Takapuna’s dining district. There are plenty of options close by for a delicious pre-show meal. You can also enjoy a drink and snack at our theatre bar — a great reason to arrive early to the show!

Items of a general nature are retained for at least 2 weeks after each event. On a fortnightly basis, any remaining unclaimed items are donated to charity.

​Once the Lost Property Team confirm that your item has been found, lost items may be collected in person from the Box Office on Tuesdays only, 10am-4pm. If collection from the Bruce Mason Centre is not possible, items can be transferred to the Aotea Centre for collection in person during office hours: Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm (except public holidays), or after hours by arrangement on a case-by-case basis as outlined by the Lost Property Team. Alternatively, Auckland Live can arrange courier delivery of Lost Property to the owner at the owner's expense.
