Travel to BC Place
11 km (6.8 mi) separates BC Place from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
The centre of Vancouver is 3.1 km (1.9 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
The published number for the venue is +1-604-669-2300.
Vancouver has 94 venues mapped in total and a population of 662,248. The Vancouver guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
At 54,500 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 54,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
A worked example for BC Place
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a BC Place event sized to the stated capacity of BC Place. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
