Concerts could provide a new niche market for Rotorua and event promoters say the city is well placed to take advantage.

The Paul Potts concert next month will be Rotorua's biggest indoor show yet and with 2000 of 3000 available tickets already sold, it's headed for a sell-out.

Promoters of the Potts concert say they took a gamble including a smaller city on his New Zealand tour but it appears to be paying off and if successful, could see more shows headed for Rotorua.

Events and Venues Rotorua general manager Peter McLeod says Rotorua is well on its way to becoming a leader in hosting events and should grab any opportunity to attract shows like the Potts concert.
