First Chance at Pan Am Games Tickets

Early access to the best TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games tickets begins September 15th, including equestrian tickets for dressage, eventing and jumping competitions in Caledon. The ticket portal is now live at TORONTO2015.org/tickets, along with ticket pricing and a detailed competition schedule.

Equestrian competitions in Caledon will take place at the newly upgraded Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park. Tickets cost $25 to $75.

Dressage competitions will take place July 11, 12 and 14; eventing July 17 and 19; followed by jumping July 21, 23 and 25.

Overall, almost 1.4 million Games tickets are available, but only until October 6! This early access period is the time to stake your claim to the best tickets for the hottest events.

Events such as:

• The unforgettable and magical Opening Ceremony — a one-night-only show by Official Creative Partner, the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil —where the Pan Am Cauldron will be lit to officially start the Games.

• The setting of new Pan Am and world records by top athletes from the Americas.

• The pride-instilling moment when your country’s anthem is played after a thrilling gold-medal showdown in popular team sports such as baseball, basketball, football (soccer), softball and volleyball.

Ticketmaster, a division of Live Nation Entertainment, is handling all ticket sales and services on behalf of the Games. Along with the official online ticket sales channel, customers may also request tickets by telephone toll-free within Canada and the U.S. at 1.855.726.2015 and internationally at 1.949.333.4824.

More than 6,000 top athletes from 41 countries in the Americas will compete at the 2015 Pan Am Games in 36 sports, including the Pan Am debut of canoe/kayak – slalom, golf, women’s baseball and women’s rugby sevens.

The Games are one of the most important stops for athletes on the road to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and competition is expected to be especially fierce. Two-thirds of the Olympic sport competitions at the 2015 Pan Am Games will be part of the qualification system for Rio.

How the TORONTO 2015 Ticketing Program Works

1.) Request your tickets: Starting September 15th and running until Monday, October 6th at 9 p.m. (ET), the public can use this early access period to request the hottest Games tickets at TORONTO2015.org/tickets.

To ensure fairness, in situations where more tickets are requested than are available for an event, customer ticket requests will be placed in a lottery. This lottery system, which is often used at mega-events like the recent Olympic Games in Vancouver and London, ensures everyone will have equal access to the most in-demand tickets.

2.) Ticket order processing: Customers will receive an email in late November 2014 telling them to check their account and see whether their ticket requests were successful.

All tickets not snapped up during the ticket request phase from September 15th to October 6th will be available through general sale, where tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning in December 2014. Further details on this process will be released after the ticket request phase ends.
