All Tickets are Mobile Ticket Only. Mobile Tickets are like Print-at-Home tickets but instead of having to print off the tickets yourself, you can just show the barcode on your mobile phone. It is the easiest way to access tickets to your events. For more information visit Ticketmaster.co.nz/mobileticket Child Policy: Children aged under 1 will be permitted free. Provided they do not occupy a seat. Japanese writer Mieko Kawakami (Sisters in Yellow, Heaven, Breasts and Eggs), Korean author Bora Chung (The Midnight Timetable, Your Utopia, Cursed Bunny) and local literary star Laura Borrowdale (Dead Ends, Sex, with Animals and the Angry Ladies podcast) discuss using the darkly imaginative, the speculative or the surreal to capture the modern realities of life for women and how they respond to the 'weird girl lit' label.
