The British Columbia (BC) provincial government and the City of Vancouver held a press conference on March 17 regarding attending matches at the FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver venue, which will be used to enjoy this year’s FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
At the Fan Festival Vancouver, where the PNE will be held, the games will be broadcast live in an amphitheatre equipped with a large screen for viewing. According to both governments, 10,000 seats will be available in the theatre, of which 2,600 will be in the general admission area (floor area) and will be free of charge. Entry will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The remaining 7,400 seats will be sold as “premium” tickets, which will include access to a dedicated priority entrance lane.<\/p>\n
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and British Columbia Minister for Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport Ann Khan, who held a press conference that day, only stated that they would not disclose the price of the paid seats and would announce it later. In addition to watching the game, the fan festival will offer cultural programs showcasing the diversity and creativity of Vancouver and British Columbia, as well as food culture from various parts of BC and live performances.<\/p>\n
Live performances are scheduled for all 28 days of the event. According to the state and city, admission to the festival venue at Hastings Park in the PNE will be free.
