Two Canadian Olympians, one holds a Compass Card and one holds a rugby ball

The Vancouver Sevens is a three-day international Rugby Sevens tournament running from Friday, Feb. 21 to Saturday, Feb. 23 at BC Place in Vancouver. This year, the Rugby Sevens tournament marks 10 years in the city!

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!

BC Place is just steps from Stadium–Chinatown Station, making transit the best way to get to the game. Here’s what you need to know!

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.
