What is Vancouver Sevens?
Three days of world-class rugby, paired with the best costume party you've ever seen! This weekend is forecast for rugby with a high chance of a party. After years of success in Vancouver, this has become an iconic tradition, and this is surely Your Year. Still not convinced? Here are Seven reasons why you should be coming to Vancouver Sevens:
1. It's the best party in town, with an electric atmosphere that you have to experience for yourself!
2. The best teams in the world all under one roof at BC Place. Will returning champions like Argentina and New Zealand top the podium, or will we see an underdog take the number one spot?
3. Canada's own women's Olympic rugby silver medallists on home soil. Cheer on our Olympic medal-winning squad right here in Vancouver!
4. The globally renowned costume party. The fancy dress tradition turns a weekend in February into Halloween like you've never seen it before.
5. Three full days of world class sport in your backyard. The three-day pass gives you access to the entire tournament, so you can follow your favourite teams from first kick-off on Friday all the way through to Sunday's grand finale. Sports!
6. This is the longest running annual sports event of this size and scale in Vancouver. Come see what the fuss is all about!
7. There's something for everyone. Want to introduce your little ones to rugby? Stay tuned for more on opportunities for them to get on the pitch at BC Place!
Will most definitely be back next year. So much fun and great with so many people dressing up.
Having never been to a sevens event I was not sure what to expect but OMG was it fun. The play was exceptional and the atmosphere over the top! I will definitely be attending next year. I would recommend this to everyone, especially people new to rugby. Don't miss it! It will have you smiling for weeks.
This event was awesome. The crowd was great, the concession line ups were quick and being able to go in and out was a privilege. But over all of that the event ran very smoothly and quickly. They were on schedule, the teams were quick to start and the games were the perfect length. Never having been to a rugby 7s tournament, I was blown away by the athletes and the skills that they possessed. I am very excited to come back next year and cheer all the teams on again. Bc place was a great venue to host the tournament, maybe we'll get more people out to fill more of the top seats!
Vancouver! You shook off your "no-fun city" moniker for this one! Friendly, feisty fans from far away and here at home came together to cheer on all the teams. And drink craft beer! A feat rarely seen at the Budweiser monopolized stadium. I'm counting the days until next year!
I was so stoked about going to the Rugby 7's and it didn't disappoint. As a rugby player I know everyone in the rugby community are pretty down to earth people. So it was awesome to be able to go into the players tunnel, take pictures, get autographs, and talk to everyone. As always the crowd at a rugby game is phenomenal, everyone talks to everybody! Turns out the guys that sat behind me who were from Regina play with my old rugby buddy! Small world. Extremely reasonable price for 20+ hours of rugby. The only thing I would suggest is don't restrict people from leaving to go find something to eat (your only allowed to leave the venue until 1PM) or at least let people bring in their own food. This is a sporting event where the athletes pride themselves on nutrition, so people who play rugby who bought a ticket should be able to have nutritious meals throughout the day.
Excellent weekend of rugby, people watching, meeting other fans and generally having a great fun weekend!!! My only negative would be the in/out problems. You can't confine people in the stadium for 7 hours. This is not a 3 hour soccer or football game. Lighten up!!!
The weekend was even better than I could have hoped - the crowd/fans were as amazing as the teams that played their hearts out. The costumes and the energy from the fans were top notch and the matches were action-packed and incredible. We are already looking forward to next year's tournament!!
Simply a great event... From engaging Crowd to action on the field. Can't wait till next year
Had a wondeful seat up close to the action. Excellent views. Didn't have to worry about people getting in and out of rows. Right besdie the players exit tunnel from the field. Got to watch them come off and see the various awards ceremony's up close. The games were wonderful. Great atomsphere throughout the weekend. Will be back to see this tournament for as long as it is at BC Place.
Very well run and great competitive rugby by all teams the tournament layout provides that those following any country get to see them play a lot and on both days which is great. Canada played well with five wins out of six and gave the home fans a lot to cheer for and tournament winners New Zealand showed how effective a physical defensive game plan can be as they took home the cup.
Canadian Sevens was big energy, fast paced and exhausting! Non stop action. When 11:00 rolled over, the line up for beer was surprising! Concourse way too busy for eating. I prefer not to juggle a tray of food and drink to my seat to consume. Some tall tables in the concourse to consume your quick bite to eat standing up and watch the game on the monitors could be an idea. Had to leave the venue for a break from the action and noise and had lunch at Moxies. More time between games to get up and stretch your legs and go to the washroom without missing half a game. Open the gates a bit earlier. Lots of eager fans couldn't get in fast enough to enjoy the first game.
This is the best valued sporting ticket available. Maybe that's why the beer is so expensive.
Fantastic Fans created a great atmosphere to enjoy the top notch competition.
Wonderful first Rugby experience. The crowd was amazing and the matches were well organized. Stadium organization needs some improvement to guide general admission to their seating areas. Additional morning concession staff needed.
FANTABULOUS FOR 2 DAYS.WHAT A WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE. FLYING FIJIANS WERE AMAZING. TEAM CANADA WAS FANTASTIC.
I can't say enough good things about the 7s tourney! It had a great crowd! Great rugby! Seeing Canada score that final Try was the most amazing sporting event highlight I have ever seen! If you are even thinking about going, DO IT! I will definitely be attending next year!
I purchased 2 Canada Tournament Passes 2016 for my son and his wife as a Christmas gift. This is the first time my daughter-in-law has watched rugby and she was thrilled with the game. She took a picture of my son watching and he was zoned right into the game. They totally enjoyed the weekend and hope that one day again Vancouver, BC can host this tournament.
Really enjoyed the tournament, Got great pictures with players, crowds well behaved. Would be nice if we could select "fan areas" i.e.Canada, Fiji, England, South Africa etc.
My family enjoyed all games played. What a value for your dollar. I would recommend this to everyone
We had the best weekend at sevens world rugby. Everyone was dressed up And they all were having a great time. The games were fast and and exciting to watch! Next year we really need to think of a amazing costume.
