Declining stats for Auckland's Eden Park, as the number of major events coming to this country reduce. 

Revenue fell from $44.3 million in 2023 to $29.7 million in 2024 and major event attendance fell from 881 thousand to 540 thousand. 

Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner told Mike Hosking one of the factors to blame is the lack of seed funding. 

He says there鈥檚 been limited funds available from Auckland Unlimited and the central government, and they鈥檝e missed out on a number of events over the last 12 months. 

Sautner says Eden Park went through a 125 year journey to get concerts, and now we鈥檙e in a situation where artists are bypassing New Zealand.
