TICKET-SCANNING TURNSTILES
For all events moving forward, ticket-scanning turnstiles will be implemented at BC Place to help streamline guest entry while enhancing overall venue safety and security.
These ticket-scanning turnstiles will be in place at select gates at this Saturday’s event, after which they will be implemented at all gates.
Each gate will also have one turnstile that features a wider lane to accommodate wheelchairs, while the 147 Accessible Entrance will feature two wide turnstiles.
BOX OFFICE & WILL CALL
The Gate C & Gate G Box Offices open at 3 pm. Please note that the Gate H Box Office is closed.
Will Call opens at 1 pm and is located at the Gate C Box Office.
DRESS ACCORDINGLY
Be reminded that BC Place is an open-air stadium regardless if the roof is open or closed. Dress accordingly based on temperature outdoors.
CASHLESS VENUE
BC Place is a cashless venue. A cash-to-card station is available at Section 234.
REUSABLE CUP PROGRAM
All draft beer, cocktails, and wine are served in reusable cups. After enjoying their beverage, guests are asked to drop their cup in the designated reusable cups bins around the stadium. The reusable cup program eliminates the need for new materials and manufacturing for each serving, helping conserve valuable environmental resources, while also keeping beverages colder for longer.
HIDDEN DISABILITIES SUNFLOWER
The HDS is a global initiative that uses a sunflower symbol to discreetly indicate that someone has a non-visible disability and may need additional support, understanding and/or time. Guests will be able to access a Sunflower lanyard or sticker from Guest Services (Section 234), which they can either keep or loan.
HEARING LOOP
Assistive listening technology is available for guests with hearing aids visiting Guest Services at Section 234.
SENSORY AWARENESS
Sensory kits available until supplies last at Guest Services at Section 234. Guests may also request access to the BC Place Sensory Room near the Section 250 ramp.
INADMISSIBLE PATRON PROGRAM
BC Place is a member of the Inadmissible Patron Program. An Inadmissible Patron is defined as a person whose lifestyle, associations and/or activities pose a risk to public safety, either directly or from third parties. This includes people who are involved with or associated to organized crime, gangs, and the drug trade. Vancouver Police will be on site and assisting in the enforcement of this program. Anyone identified as an Inadmissible Patron by police will be denied entry/evicted from the venue and will not receive any refund or compensation.
