The NZSO is committed to making the joy of live orchestral music more affordable, so every New Zealander can experience it as often as they like.
We offer two membership tiers, Full and Lite, giving you discounted tickets, priority access before concerts go on public sale, and flexible ticket exchanges throughout the year. Book through the NZSO as a Member and you never pay a booking fee, unlike ticketing agencies, where fees can add up to $10 per ticket before you've even chosen a seat.
If you're not sure which tier suits you, our Ticketing Team can talk you through Full versus Lite, whether you book online, by phone, or in person.

FAQ

Yes. Members get flexible ticket exchanges and free reprints if plans change.
No contracts. It's an annual membership you renew if and when you choose to.
Full gives you a bigger discount, more tickets per concert at that discount, and an extra ticket to share each season. Lite is a lower-cost way to start.
Discounts apply to NZSO promoted concerts, with some rare exceptions.
