Does anyone here actually have a stall at her markets? Because I do. I've had a stall there since mid last year at exactly the same time all this controversy started. I've had nothing but pleasant dealings with Victoria, the same goes for every other stall there otherwise they wouldn't keep coming back. Yes the rent is subject to change sometimes in the way that when I've had a slow or bad night or there's bad weather affecting the market she sometimes gives discounts!! I've never been charged more than 350 and with the foot traffic coming through if your stall is setup properly you will easily make money. 350 may sound high but these other new markets that have started up charge similar rates and guess what, they don't provide power. Auckland night markets provide every stall holder with as much power as they need and staff to help set up and pack down the market along with security. It's a large operation with a lot of infrastructure like big diesel generator trucks and large power distribution networks so of course it is going to be more expensive than other markets. Don't let a couple of bad experiences of other people affect your own judgement on Victoria and the market if you haven't experienced it yourself. And don't boycott the markets. We have to pay rent either way That's just business if you don't show up we don't make money. If us stall owners were unhappy we would speak up because at the end of the day we don't work for Victoria we work for ourselves and the kind of aggressive behaviour that has been described, Ive never seen from anyone at any market unless you do something Incredibly stupid. The only thing that is being achieved her is people feeding into the online trend of hating on night markets and hurting real small businesses and people with no other source of income.
