Open Club Reserves sell out

High demand for Forsyth Barr Stadium’s eight seater Open Club Reserve (OCR) membership option has resulted in a sellout, well in advance of opening in August 2011.

OCR’s, a block of reserved seats in the main seating bowl with seat-side food and beverage service, were available as eight or twelve seats. The twenty available OCR eights have now all been allocated and proven to be an important component of the private sector funding strategy. The OCR twelve still has limited availability.

David Davies, CEO, Forsyth Barr Stadium commented, “Open Club Reserves are a relatively new concept in New Zealand and have been designed for groups who want to enjoy the atmosphere of the main stand but still want their own space.
“To have demand outstrip supply in one of our membership options already is a fantastic result. The interest from the region has been extremely positive and while we still have some way to go, we’re on target and confident that we will reach our private sector funding goals.”

To date, $35.7 million of the targeted $45.5 million in private sector funding has been achieved through the sale of memberships and sponsorship for the Stadium.

Although limited in numbers, there are still several membership options available including Lounge Club membership, Open Club Reserve (12) Membership or through the purchase of one of the few remaining corporate suites.
