Venues Ōtautahi, the Crusaders, and Plato have joined forces with local charity Full Bellies to launch Full Bellies Full House, a virtual fundraiser to help feed children in need across Canterbury as the first event at One New Zealand Stadium.

The campaign is aiming to fill every seat in One NZ Stadium, virtually, with proceeds to fund school lunches for kids who go without. This is also the chance for the public to have a first virtual look inside the venue with the launch of the Ticketmaster virtual venue map. Full Bellies Founder Kate Pauling says tickets are on sale from today and are just $8.50, with every virtual seat funding a lunch for a child in need.

Every ticket purchased is also an entry into the draw to win a money-can’t-buy experience which includes the chance to meet the captains and toss the coin at the stadium’s opening match, a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium with the Crusaders and Venues Otautahi Chief Executives, four tickets to every Crusaders home game at One NZ Stadium in the 2026 season, and a $400 food and beverage voucher to enjoy at the venue.
