Rogers ARENA Rental Guidelines
Building Configurations and Options
Rogers Arena offers a number of building configurations that can be used to accommodate the specific needs of your event.
Contact our event sales department at 604.899.7471 to discuss your event requirements and determine the most suitable configuration. Rental rates vary depending on configuration and capacity.
HOLD POLICY
A hold can be placed on an available date when requested by an event organizer subject to a booking submission request form being completed and the feasibility of hosting such an event at Rogers Arena. A non-refundable deposit of $15,000 plus HST is required to hold a date, a minimum of 12 weeks in advance of the event. The deposit is applied to the rental rate.
To challenge a first hold position, the existing client with the first hold is given 48 hours to provide a full deposit to secure the date. If the challenge is not met, a full deposit from the challenger is required within a 24-hour period.
PROTECTION POLICY
For events that are considered to be competing in a specialized market, Rogers Arena may exercise a protection period on either side of the event or any similar event competing for the same market. Rogers Arena retains the sole discretion to waive this right.
EVENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
An Event License Agreement must be signed between the event organizer and the venue a minimum of 10 weeks prior to the event. The agreement will outline all legal and contractual requirements between the venue (licensor) and the event organizer (licensee). An estimate of operational costs will be provided with the license agreement.
TICKETING
Prior to the public on-sale of an event, ticketing requirements and seating manifests will be reviewed between the event organizer and a Ticketmaster representative along with the venue Event Sales representative and venue Event Manager. Ticket pricing, service charges and venue service fee will be established through this process.
