The brand new Freedom Mobile Arch (which will just go by “amphitheatre” during FIFA’s time in Vancouver) has a free, general admission floor area with an estimated capacity of 2,600 per match. These spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Premium experiences, including reserved seating within the amphitheatre and dedicated fast-track entry lanes, will be available for purchase. Details are TBD.

Across 28 days, more than 70 matches will be broadcast live on screens throughout the Festival and there will be over 100 artists performing around the Hastings Park site. There will be food trucks, dining areas for takeout or picnicking, family activities (face painting, soccer drills, games, playground), licensed areas with bars.

The FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver will serve as British Columbia’s largest fan destination during the tournament.

Hastings Skatepark will shut down from late May through the end of July as part of preparations for this site. Vancouver host committee says the park sits inside the secured festival area and that maintaining public access is not feasible for security reasons.

Over in Victoria, the city will host a test-run viewing party on the lawn of the legislature on March 31st for a World Cup qualifying match. Following that match, the Canada-Tunisia international friendly from Toronto will be broadcast on the giant screen.
