Sydney strike grounds sky high dining here

Due to the industrial action at the Sydney harbour last week, fifty-seven essential containers failed to ship last week, causing substantial delays. The key parts of the internationally acclaimed ‘flying pop-up restaurant’ won’t be arriving in New Zealand in time to run the event as scheduled.

Events in the Sky director, Steve Chung, would like to apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused and says it is still their intention to launch Dinner in The Sky in Auckland, and the company will be doing everything it can to ensure it happens in early 2018.

‘We have never had to postpone or cancel an event before, but unfortunately, the industrial action at Sydney port was totally out of our control. We are as committed as ever to bringing Dinner In the Sky to New Zealand and appreciate everyone’s continued enthusiasm for the Dinner In The Sky experience.

Ticketmaster will automatically refund all ticket holders. New summer/ fall dates for 2018 will be communicated as soon as possible.
