“We appreciate everyone’s understanding and ask that the privacy of the crew member’s family and our wider WOW whānau is respected at this time. The WOW team will contact all ticket holders for tonight’s performance directly with information about refunds or transferring to another performance. A Taste of WOW at the InterContinental Wellington will still go ahead as scheduled.”
Police confirmed emergency services were called to reports of a person experiencing an “apparent medical event”.
“Medical assistance was rendered but sadly the person has died.”
The indoor stadium is based on Jervois Quay on the capital’s waterfront and is currently hosting the World of WearableArt (WOW) across September 17 to October 4.
A spokesperson with Wellington Free Ambulance told the Herald it sent “multiple” vehicles to TSB Arena this morning and referred the matter to police.
