First Bites Membership
First Bites (previously "Friends of the Festival") is Visa WOAP's early access to tickets programme, limited to the first 100 people who sign up. Applications are now closed.
First Bites membership gives a small group of festival fans, lovers of food and food-filled events early access to tickets and other benefits, all while their membership fee helps the festival’s mission to tell the Visa WOAP story far and wide.
To join First Bites is just $100, limited to 100 people. Membership applications open 1 - 31 May (or until membership reaches 100 people). If you'd like to join First Bites next year please sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know.

- The Visa WOAP Programme Guide before everyone else (digital first, and we can post it to you)
- Special event and product offerings during the lead up to, and during, the festival
PLUS sign up and pay by 31 May to be in to win two tickets to the Visa WOAP Programme Launch (Tues 5 June, Wellington). This exclusive, invite-only event comes complete with goody bag, food and beverage and rubbing shoulders with chefs, bakers, brewers and more.
