are the public allowed to go and watch the regionals?

I know this sounds strange. As a pure home user, I couldn't even begin to contemplate entering, but, I am finding myself wanting to know more and more about good espresso etc, so watching something like this could be fun

Cheers

I am going down to Welly to watch the regional and finals.
Thinking about flying in early 7.30 am in the morning and flying out 9pm the same day, unless there is barista gathering or activities
By the way.... where is Supreme Roastry?? should I go rental car or public transport?
