Beervana information and FAQ

General Information

How do I get beer? All beer will be served in the official Beervana glass in a 75ml taster or 250ml serve. No gluten-free beer is available, but there are cider, mead and ginger beer available. All food is clearly marked if it is GF or not. All bars will close 30 minutes before the session ends.

Non-alcs and Under 18? A selection of non-alcoholic drinks will be made available at Beervana, including bottled water and coffee. Water Warriors will also be located throughout the venue. Everyone will be ID'd if you look under 25, as per the law. If you are under 18 you will be given a wristband to indicate that you will be able to purchase food and non-alcs. This is a child-friendly event if you wish to bring your child that is A-OK! If they're obviously a child, we won't wristband them, but if they're in their teens, we may need to give them an U18 wristband.

About Beervana tickets? Be aware, Beervana sessions do sell out, so get your tickets early. There will be door sales on the day for the sessions that haven't sold out. If you want to exchange your session ticket please email online@ticketek.co.nz.

How do I pay for my beer, food and merch? No cash is accepted over the bars or at the food vendors. Payments can be made through Eftpos, Debit Cards, Credit Cards (Visa and Mastercard), and tap to pay options. There are no longer any wristbands to load up. 

What about refunds? As you're using your own money, there is no longer a need to request refunds on unused wristband money. 

Can I leave my stuff somewhere? There is a coat check, but this is at your own risk. Pop over to the information desk if you'd like to leave a bag but again this is at your own risk.  For access questions please get in touch with the Stadium at info@skystadium.co.nz.
