Sold-out shows have seen Auckland Arts Festival put on additional dates for performances in its 2016 festival line-up.
Last week Sufjan Stevens' March Festival gig at The Civic sold out, with fans of the indie star taking to social media trying to score tickets.
Nanogirl's (aka Michelle Dickinson) Science Show: Big Bang, Little Bang! on Sunday 13th March has also sold out, with an additional show announced today to cope with demand; schools have snapped up all available tickets for a student's-only show the following day.
Likewise, the allure of international cabaret star Meow Meow's Little Mermaid has proven irresistible, with several performances already booked out and remaining tickets selling fast.
