“Many Vancouverites and visitors make it an annual holiday tradition to visit the Vancouver Christmas Market with friends and family,” says Denise Wegener, market president. “As it’s been a tough time for many, the Market is offering a reduced ticketing rate so that more people can visit us this year.”

Upon purchasing online tickets, guests are prompted to select a date and half-hour arrival time slot. Once they enter the Market, visitors are invited to stay as long as they like. The Market asks that all guests over the age of 12 present a valid COVID-19 vaccination passport. Adults aged 19 and over will also need to present a government-issued photo ID. Hand sanitizer will be supplied on site.

As I am not able to buy tix on line, will I be able to buy at the door? Thank you
Hi Cheryll, I found this on their website:
“Can I Buy Tickets at the Gate?
Yes, but we do recommend buying tickets online because you can book your timeslot, save on admission prices, and skip the Box Office line. Visit our tickets page for more details on pricing and timeslot booking.”
