Vancouver Gift Guide for the Local Sports Fan
byI believe one of the best ways to give an experience to a loved one this Christmas is to give them the gift of sport. John and I have bought our Whitecaps season tickets for each other for Christmas for the last five years, which turns into over 20 pre-set date nights for us throughout the year! Here are some gift packs and sets that our local sporting organizations are offering up this season:
Vancouver Whitecaps FC
The ‘Caps are offering a Holiday Pack in their online store that includes a Whitecaps FC scarf and tickets to the historic CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal vs New York Red Bulls on March 2, the Canadian Championship semifinal, and the MLS season opener for $100.
BC Lions
The BC Lions have some festive ornaments and stocking stuffers in their online store, but stay tuned for their holiday gift pack release which is usually during the second week of December.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have Holiday Packs starting at $249 that include tickets to 3 games (pick from a list), a FlyOver Canada pass, a Canucks scarf, and ticket to Canucks Superskills.
Vancouver Giants
The Giants have 5-game Christmas Packs starting at $89 along with a lineup of holiday events like the Ugly Christmas Sweater weekend (December 9 & 10), and the Hyundai Teddy Bear Toss (December 16).
