Hi
I booked for 2 tickets to the Christchurch conference and used my credit card but haven’t received any confirmation via email.
I booked the tickets on 28 July at 12.45 – 2 tickets, total price $120.
Regards
Susanne Antill
Hello, Susanne, I’ve checked, and your order was not processed. Can you please make your registration again?
OK 2 tickets for $120 early bird price? ( which is what my sister Susanne thought she ordered the tickets at)
Hi Janice,
Early bird tickets for the all day conference general admission are $120 each. Soon to be $150 each after the early bird time frame finishes. The Meet and Greet tickets are $60 each and this is for the event after the day conference finishes. The Meet and Greet is 5.30pm to 7.30pm with a cashless bar, canapes and the opportunity to socialise, talk to the speakers, NZDSOS members and to have a great time together. If you need further assistance with your tickets please message [email protected] and I will get this sorted with you. Thanks, NZDSOS Team
I booked online, the website gave an error message, I received an email saying the order is being processed…. has it been processed and confirmed?
I have already paid and now receive this. I also got an email saying there was an error but then confirmed I had tickets. Please advise.
Good afternoon, a friend was able to get the $30.00 reduction this morning… I intended to go with her… I tried shortly after her, around 10.00 am, but could not find the access point for the discounted price. I see that the offer expires today, which, in most cases, would be in the latter part of the day… the actual cut-off time is not stated. I would like to get a ticket at the reduced price too, please.
Hi Christine, I have emailed you in regard to this and like to get this resolved asap. Please respond when you get a chance. Thank you, Anna.
I thought I had purchased a 2nd ticket via Mastercard (on 22nd Aug) for my husband to attend the 21 Sep event in Chch. I have had no ticket, but did receive a “Thank you for your order” email from NZDSOS. Could you please let me know what the status is?
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Christine
Hi Christine, thank you for your support, we have both your orders and all looks fine from our side. See you at conference!
Hello. I have tried to purchase a ticket . However, when you click the ‘get ticket’ box nothing happens. don’t want to mis out! Sounds fantastic!!!

Hi. I have just tried to purchase a ticket. When I clicked “save and review kart”, a note appeared and said to contact NZDSOS, the notice quickly disappeared.
I would like to purchase 1x General Admission plus Meet and Greet at $210.00.
Please help, as I would love to attend the Conference.
Thank you, Heather
Hi Heather, glad we could talk today and hear the ticketing issue. Subsequently your ticket order has come through, so pleased it is resolved. See you at conference! The NZDSOS Team
Hi, I have purchased “Pay it Forward” one ticket gifting it to someone who would like to attend the Meet & Greet session. Blessing for a successful conference. xox
Thank you Soala for such a generous offer for someone else to attend the Meet and Greet event. We are so grateful for your support. In peace, Anna
Hello Organisers, attempting to purchase two tickets at $150.00 each, however, as above comment, brief note advising spam detection and to contact you directly. Requiring for Christchurch Conference.
Kind Regards
Ian Shackley
Hi Ian, I have sent you a private message regarding your tickets and being able to assist with this. Thanks for your support, Anna
Maybe if the tickets weren’t so expensive more people could have afforded to go
Our ticket prices have not increased from last year, but all the costs associated with holding the conference have. The livestream option at $45 is a wonderful way to enjoy the conference if you are unable to attend in person. We hope you can join in that way. In peace, Anna
Please advise how to access the livestream option ($45) as mentioned above.
Hi Jane, please see the link here https://events.nzdsos.comevent/auckland-conference-2024-live-stream/ to access your livestream ticket. Thanks for your support. The NZDSOS Team
Hi – can you please advise if lunch is provided, or will we be expected to organise something ourselves. If not provided, are there any decent/healthy eateries near the venue that you know of or could recommend…? Many thanks!
Hi Tim, the ticket price includes morning tea, a light lunch and afternoon tea. See you at conference!
Sorry :-/ Juat another wee thing. The ticket confirmation states a start time of 0800, but the webpage here says 0830. Which start time is the right one? Many thanks! Tim
I had an email telling me my two tickets for the Chrischurch conference were confirmed but I have not received tickets or QR code.
Can you please advice when I will receive these?
Hello, Kate, I’ve re-sent the ticket just now. Please check your inbox again!
Hi, I am trying to book full day 2 tickets for the Christchurch event but your site is not allowing me to book. There is an error.
Hello, Andrew, We’re sorry you’re encountering an error. Can you use the Bank Transfer method instead of Stripe? Get in touch with us at [email protected].
Thanks, I have emailed you.
Please send through your banking details via email.
Hi – I have tried so many times in different ways and on different days to book for the Christchurch conference, but each time the website stops me in some way. Probably too late now, but very disappointing. Hope your day goes brilliantly. Jane
I’m sorry to hear that; we will also have tickets at the door. I would also try again in a few hours to see if anything changes.
Hi Jane, we are so sorry. Thank you so much for your time just now explaining the problem and I am going to resolve this for you. Let’s stay in touch via the email we are communicating now on. Thanks, Anna
