Eden Park thanks Auckland councillors for their supposed support for concerts at the venue, offering them free hospitality to watch the first concert. But the invite hasn t gone down well with some, as Matthew Scott reports. An offer of a free ticket for councillors to the first concert at Eden Park, by Kiwi super group Six60, has raised eyebrows for its suggestion Auckland Council played a role in the independent planning decision to allow concerts at the neighbourhood venue. The Eden Park Trust chief executive Nick Sautner invited councillors to “be a part of history” at Six60’s April 24 concert, a first for the venue after a controversial application process which pitted the stadium against some of its close neighbours.
