A further 3000 spots in MIQ will be released by the government on September 28, Minister Chris Hipkins confirmed at this afternoon's COVID-19 press conference.
The tickets will go online at 6pm New Zealand time, with the lobby opening an hour earlier.
Hipkins says no matter what time you arrive in the lobby, everyone has an equal chance to get one of the MIQ spots.
"This release will be for around 3000 rooms across October, November and December, and there will be more releases after this one," Hipkins said.
He said the MIQ website would be updated before the release of the quarantine spots following feedback from those who used the system earlier this week.
On Monday, around 30,000 people were online all hoping to get one of 3000 tickets released at 9am that morning.
What time are the 3000 MIQ spots being released where you are:
- Sydney, Australia 3pm

- Berlin, Germany 7am
