The event fees, announced today, offer athletes a choice of three different packages – Bronze (NZ$295), Silver (NZ$395) and Gold (NZ$825). All three packages include participation in one sport (with the option of adding other sports as Games schedules allow), admission to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, accreditation pass, official backpack and Games guide, as well as access to participant-only social events at the Games entertainment hub for the duration of the 10-day festival.
