The building
It stands at 3800 Finnerty Road, V8P 5C2, 4 km (2.5 mi) from the centre of Victoria.
Phoenix Theatre was opened in 1981 and owned by University of Victoria, which puts it at 45 years old.
No seated capacity is published. The recorded footprint is 42,568 sq ft, which is the outline of the building rather than usable exhibition space, so treat it as an upper bound and ask the venue for a room-by-room sheet.

Access and arrival
At 82 km (51 mi), Vancouver International Airport (YVR) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
4 km (2.5 mi) out from the middle of Victoria — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Victoria has 35 venues mapped in total and a population of 289,625. The Victoria guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
The app bill, at this size
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Phoenix Theatre event sized from the recorded footprint of Phoenix Theatre at roughly twelve square feet a head. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- 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.
