"It's great news that we have a Kiwi act whose popularity is such that they look capable of selling out the Vector."
Joining the Conchords on their New Zealand tour is American stand-up comedian Arj Barker, known as the duo's indifferent friend Dave Mohumbhai, the pawn shop guy who gives them advice on dealing with American women and culture.
The pair, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, haven't performed here since 2009.
Tickets are available, limited to two per person, by application in person at the Vector Arena box office from 9am next Saturday, March 31, or from ticketmaster.co.nz at 1pm. For Ticketmaster subscribers and Visa members, there will be pre-sales from 9am on Thursday.
Ticket prices are believed to be comparable to those for the smaller concerts, which ranged from $55 to $79. A show in Christchurch is also thought to be in the pipeline.
