Tickets for Canada Sevens Vancouver go on sale next week, in advance of the highly anticipated return of next month’s tournament.
Rugby sevens returns to BC Place September 18-19, with tickets going on sale to the general public on August 12 at 10 am PT. Tournament subscription holders will have a 48-hour pre-sale opportunity starting August 10.
Ticket pricing and attending teams will be released within the next week prior to tickets going on-sale, Rugby Canada says.
Ticket inventory will be quite limited, unless and until the province moves into Stage 4 of the Provincial Restart Plan before the tournament opens. Until then, tournament organizers are planning to operate at 50% capacity in the lower bowl and suite sections of BC Place.
BC could move into Stage 4 by September 7, though rising case counts driven by the Delta variant could change that. The province reported 342 cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, though only 35% of those cases came from the Lower Mainland.
With health and safety in mind, there will be no general admission seating, as all tickets will have a reserved location. Only digital tickets will be issued, with a maximum of 10 tickets per transaction.
