SPECIAL OFFER: $5 Tickets for All Ages – TECHnique
We’re especially excited to support greater access for our local rangitahi at our inaugural FRINGE Taranaki Festival, and we have a very cool performance that we think could tick plenty of boxes across the board!
TECHnique combines music, a live DJ, multiple dance genres and technology in an energetic performance that could appeal to a wide range of young people. There’s even a YouTube video on the show page to give you a taste of what to expect. This one is great for tweens and teens and everyone in between!
Saturday 7 November 2026, 12pm
The Evolution Dome, Tasman Prospect Park, New Plymouth foreshore
To help make this experience more accessible for rangitahi and their whānau, we’re offering $5 tickets for all ages, while tickets last!
How to access the $5 offer:
Visit the TECHnique show page.
Click Buy Tickets, which will take you through to Eventfinda.
Enter the promo code RANGITAHI in the promo code box.
Your special $5 tickets for all ages will appear!
Alternatively, if you’d like to share this opportunity with your staff, students or school community and purchase tickets as a group, we’re happy to make it easy. Simply let us know the total number of tickets required, and we can arrange an invoice through our office. This option will also avoid Eventfinda booking fees.
Please RETURN basketball, netball and hockey uniforms to the school office by Friday. (This does not include the hockey players playing in the Toa Whakaihuwaka competition)
This is a great opportunity for young footballers to get coaching from two great coaches:
Spencer Salt - Western FC
Bill Charlton - Kaitake FC
They are teaming up to provide a spring program to launch our young players to new levels.
