HSBC SVNS Vancouver Single Tickets To Go On Sale January 23
Single day tickets for 2025 HSBC SVNS Vancouver, the 10th edition of the city’s annual not-to-be-missed rugby sevens tournament, go on sale on Thursday January 23, 2025, at 10:00am PT.
Single day tickets are the highest demand ticket type and start at $45.00 plus taxes and fees. Fans are encouraged to buy early prior to February 5, 2025 at 11:59PM to take advantage of discounted pricing, before standard pricing comes into effect on February 6, 2025. Tickets can be purchased at vansevens.com.
Over three full days of thrilling rugby and fancy dress, 12 women’s teams and 12 men’s teams, including Canada’s Paris 2024 Olympic silver medal winning Women’s Sevens Team, will compete for the title of HSBC SVNS Vancouver champion. This ultimate Vancouver sports experience will include an invitational men’s tournament featuring Canada’s Men’s Sevens Team integrated into the schedule on the Friday and Saturday.
Canada’s Women’s Sevens Team will play twice on Friday, twice on Saturday, and at least once (depending on playoff match results) on Sunday. Each day of competition will close with premier women’s rugby action as the day’s grand finale, as Vancouver continues to put its support behind women’s sports, as highlighted by the city’s recent PWHL Takeover Tour game, the upcoming inaugural season for Vancouver Rise FC, and this summer’s WNBA game.
Gates will open at 10:45am on Friday February 21, with pool play kicking off at 11:18am, and day one finishing at 9:45pm. Pool play continues into Saturday February 22, with gates opening at 10:00am for the first match of the day at 10:30am. Play-offs will begin on the Saturday, with the final match of the day set for 8:38pm.
Sunday February 23 will begin at 10:50am, with gates opening at 10:15am. The tournament will come to a close with a pair of epic finals, which finish at 6:10pm.
The full schedule will be announced on Tuesday January 28 following HSBC SVNS Perth.
HSBC SVNS Vancouver’s tradition of fancy dress will celebrate a decade of costumes and non-stop entertainment at BC Place. Fans are encouraged to dress to impress and check out vansevens.com for costume inspiration and guidelines.
Tournament passes, the best value and way for fans to access the action on all three days of HSBC SVNS Vancouver, are also still available for purchase. The Sevens Seat Saver pass (our lowest price on a tournament pass) is nearly sold out, as are premium sideline tournament pass seats. Limited reserved tickets also remain as tournament passes, which start at $169.00 plus taxes and fees. There are a range of ticketing types from General Admission seats to Club and Premium Sideline experiences.
Groups of seven or more receive a discount on General Admission seats of $10.00 off per tournament pass and $5.00 off per single day ticket. Add the code GAGROUP before selecting seats to enact the discount before the checkout stage on Ticketmaster.
Ticketholders will have in and out privileges until 7:00pm on Friday, 6:00pm on Saturday and 3:00pm on Sunday.

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
