And cricketers won't be the only performers gracing Eden Park this summer.
And we've got Robbie Williams coming up on the 24th of November and then we roll through to Guns N' Roses on the 17th of December and then later in March we've got three shows with Bruno Mars.
Do you cringe when you see all those crowds walking out on your lovely chair? Maybe the first time I did but I think these ones will be the 20th we've done now in this sort of modern era and so as long as we're well planned and everyone understands their own responsibilities.
I haven't had too many problems at all.
During concerts almost all Eden Park's turf is beneath protective coverings.
So we sort of get away with most of it but we do have a turf farm where on occasions we do need to replace turf from under stages and where cranes have driven out to put in delay towers and things like that.
So we sort of contemplate that, we plan for it and we're pretty much available the following weekend.
