ABOUT TSB ARENA Built in 1995, the TSB Bank Arena was originally known as Queens Wharf Events Centre. It sits on a totara wharf built in the 1860s then known as ‘deep water wharf’. The design of the building takes its inspiration from the many wharf buildings that once stood along Wellington’s waterfront. The ‘Queen’s Bond’ warehouse was built in 1862 and stood where the arena does now. It was the centre of Wellington’s thriving sea trade from the 1880s to the 1930s, exporting meat, cheese, apples and pears, coal, wool, tallow and flax. It became the TSB Bank Arena in 2006. A MULTI-USE VENUE The arena hosts many basketball games and is the home arena for the Century City Saints and the part-time home arena of the New Zealand Breakers when they play in Wellington. The Richter City Roller Derby has also used it for training and games. It also hosts expositions and conventions like the Armageddon Pulp Expo, book fairs, food and cultural fairs, and the annual World of Wearable Art Awards (WOW). Originally designed to hold 3,635 people it was redeveloped and expanded in 2005 and now seats seats 4,570. TSB Bank Arena also operates as a music venue and regularly attracts overseas acts. Previous concerts include Metallica, Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, Norah Jones, and Bon Iver. HIRE TSB ARENA The TSB Arena is Wellington’s biggest indoor venue.
