NEW SECURITY & TURNSTILE ENTRY PROCESS
BC Place features new security screening and electronic turnstiles at entry points as part of recent venue upgrades.

For ease of entry, please enter through the gate indicated on your ticket. Guests are encouraged to re-download their mobile tickets prior to arrival to ensure the most up-to-date gate information is displayed.

At security screening:
At the gates, guests are asked to keep their personal items, including their stadium-permitted bags, on their person as they walk through the security detection system, and on to the electronic turnstiles. See below for more on the stadium clear bag policy.

At the turnstiles:
If the electronic tickets are in your Mobile Wallet, tap your phone near the contactless reader at the top of the turnstile screen.
If the electronic tickets are on the Ticketmaster app or if using physical tickets, scan using the barcode reader at the bottom of the turnstile screen.
If tapping or scanning multiple tickets on one phone, please wait for the green light and allow one guest in your group through the turnstile, before moving to the next ticket.

There are no in-and-out privileges once a ticket has been scanned in.

TOUR INFORMATION

Time to start training for your local rock and roll marathon: Foo Fighters have confirmed their first stadium tour since the massive 2023-2024 Everything or Nothing at All run that sold out football and baseball fields the world over. Kicking off August 4 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, the new tour will see Foo Fighters bringing the maximum volume euphoria of the band’s recent surprise US club gigs and overseas outdoor / arena spectaculars to a total of 12 North American cities, concluding (for now) September 26 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.

Queens of the Stone Age will be direct support on all dates except September 12 in Fargo.

General on sale for all shows is Friday, October 31 at 10am local time. Don’t sleep on information re: tickets, pre-sales and more at foofighters.com

If that’s not enough good news for you, today sees the release of new Foo Fighters song “Asking for a Friend.” Featuring a decidedly darker melodic approach than the smash hit “Today’s Song,” “Asking for a Friend” ratchets up the energy and intensity of its predecessor in favor of hypnotic opening verses that build and explode into impassioned refrains of “What is real? I’m asking for a friend…” By the time the song’s final breakneck rave-up screeches to a halt with a throat-shredding “Or is this the end?”, FF fans of all ages will find themselves joyfully bludgeoned into submission.

Dave Grohl wrote at length about inspiration for the new music and upcoming tour, in a post that read in part:

“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.

What better way to share the view than with close friends?

In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age.

Take cover.

But none of this would be complete without new music to share from Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, Ilan and I. ‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.

One of many songs to come…”
