Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, to get to Vancouver Sevens rugby tournament of course! The Sevens isn’t just a celebration of sport, it’s the ultimate costume party where fans are known to dress in their ‘fanciest’ attire from chicken to egg and everything in between. Come for the costumes, stay for the game!

The Vancouver Sevens is a three-day international Rugby Sevens tournament running from Friday, Feb. 23–25, 2024 at BC Place in Vancouver.

Here’s what you need to know about how to take transit to the Vancouver Sevens at BC Place.

Take transit to Vancouver Sevens at BC Place Feb. 23–25

BC Place is a six-minute walk from the Expo Line’s Stadium–Chinatown Station and an 11-minute walk from the Canada Line’s Yaletown–Roundhouse Station.

Both the SkyTrain’s Expo and Canada Lines offer fast and frequent travel from early morning to late evening.

Plan your trip using our Trip Planner at translink.ca/tripplanner or Google Maps. Tell us where you’re starting from, and we’ll find the best route to get you to BC Place.

Travelling with the fam? Remember, kids 12 and under ride transit for free!

Pay for your transit fare using your contactless credit card or Interac Debit card

Our Compass Card readers accept contactless Interac Debit and credit cards, including American Express, Mastercard, and Visa and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay).

All you need to do is tap your card or device on the card reader to pay and enter the system. It’s that easy.

No lines when purchasing your transit fare or need to calculate how many zones you are travelling.

Don’t have a contactless credit or debit card? No problem!

Purchase a Compass Ticket (or an Adult Compass Card) from any Compass Vending Machine located at SkyTrain stations, SeaBus terminals, Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay ferry terminals, or select London Drugs stores. You can also pre-purchase a second Compass Ticket for your return trip.

Tap in and out at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus terminals. There’s no need to tap out on buses, which are always a one-zone fare.

If you’re paying by cash on the bus, you will be issued a paper transfer, which allows you to transfer between buses, but not to the SkyTrain, SeaBus, or West Coast Express.

Park at our Park and Ride lots to save on parking

Our Park and Ride lots, located throughout Metro Vancouver near transit stations, allow you to park your car for between $2 and $3 all day. Next, hop on to transit and let us take you the rest of the way to the game.

Locations include Scott Road and Coquitlam Central stations.

Park at the bike valet for free

A bike valet is like a coat check, but for your bike! Our friends at The Bicycle Valet will be set up each day of the Vancouver Sevens to park your bike for FREE!

Head to Gate C (Lot 457) at BC Place to drop your bike off, there’s limited capacity so arrive early!

They also accept other micro-mobility devices such as skateboards, unicycles, rollerblades, and strollers. A bag check is available too.
