Tickets for World Women’s Curling Championships available Friday

It’s time to stock up on your red and white gear, Prince George.

That’s because come Friday, at 10 a.m., fans can lock down their tickets to watch Team Canada, and the other 12 competing nations, who will be in action during the 2020 World Women’s Curling Championships at the CN Centre.

Selected single-draw tickets start at just $17.50, making them ideal for any budget. Here’s a look at what single-draw tickets will be available on Friday:

• $19.50 — Sunday-Friday Team Canada morning games
• $25 — Monday-Thursday Team Canada afternoon games
• $30 — opening Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday Team Canada evening games

In addition to the single-draw offers, a variety of new packages will go on sale as well.

Canada’s opponents won’t be known until after the field has been determined, as countries have to qualify through regional championships. Canada’s team will be decided at the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw, Sask.

Not only will a world title be up for grabs, but Prince George will also be the first opportunity for countries to earn qualifying points for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

In addition to being a part of World Women’s Championship inside the CN Centre, you’ll also be a part of what will be B.C.’s biggest curling party, the World Famous Patch — just a few indoor steps away from the arena bowl at the Kin 1 Arena inside the CN Centre. You can check out live music, have a meal and mingle with players and fellow fans from all over Canada, and around the world.
