Capacity is 1539 on three levels. The 497 is the concert chamber.http://www.aucklandlive.co.nz/Our-Venues/Auckland-Town-Hall/Great-Hall.aspx

A bit of trivia - in the 10 oclock news last night Brent Edwards said that National Party campaign launch was much bigger. That event had 2500 - many bussed in. The Town Hall apparently holds 1600 and about 800 couldn't get in according to reports. The crowd shots showed all seats taken and many people standing. So I think the meetings would have been comparable in terms of people motivated (for whatever reason) to attend. And thousands more watching the live stream. Which is pretty amazing.
