IS HOPSCOTCH TAKING PLACE IN 2023?

Yes, we came back swinging, post-pandemic in 2022 and are returning just as big in 2023! The Grand Tasting Hall takes place at the PNE Forum, while the Master Classes take place at offsite locations.

HOW MUCH ARE TICKETS?

As always, the sooner you purchase, the better the price. We release our initial batch of tickets , “PRESALE” at $25, for the Grand Tasting Hall. From there, the tickets increase as they continue to sell. The closer the event is, the more expensive the tickets become. Once all the earlier batches are sold-out, all remaining tickets are released at their final and regular price of $49. There are Ticketleader fees and taxes in addition to the ticket price.

HOW MUCH ARE SAMPLES?

Samples range in price depending on their retail value. A sample of an 18 year old whisky could be several tokens while the same brand as a 12 year old may only be a couple.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE TOKEN?

Tokens are $1 each, plus tax. They are available for purchase using cash or credit card, albeit there is a small convenience fee when paying by card. They are available exclusively within the Grand Tasting Hall. They are sold increments of 5 and 20. There are no refunds on purchased tokens.

HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO THE PRE-SALE WINDOWS, DISCOUNTED TICKETS AND VIP EVENTS?

Easy peasy. All you have to do is join the “Friends of Hopscotch” mailing list, which you can do at anytime by clicking right here.

WHEN IS THE PRE-SALE ACCESS CODE SENT TO THE FRIENDS OF HOPSCOTCH LIST?

Usually a day or two before the pre-sale window opens.

DO YOU SELL DESIGNATED DRIVER TICKETS?

We do not have a different ticket available for DDs. We encourage designated drivers through and through and there are lots of activities and products to taste at the event that do not contain alcohol. Our event is “a-la-carte” style, so the ticket everyone purchases is a “DD” price, and then alcoholic drinks are purchased afterwards, once inside the event.

WHEN CAN I BUY TICKETS TO THE EVENTS?

Click TICKETS in the menu of this website!

DO I NEED TO PRINT MY TICKET?

No. Barcodes on your phones are 100% sufficient.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE TICKET PRICE?

Grand Tasting Hall tickets include admission, souvenir tasting glass and access to hundreds of product samples.

ARE TICKETS REFUNDABLE?

Hopscotch tickets are not refundable under any circumstance. Tickets are transferable and thus can be given away to friends or sold on 3rd party sites. We do not hold any responsibility for tickets bought or sold or given away or received privately as there is no way to trace them to the new buyer. If the event is postponed for any reason, including Covid restrictions, no refunds will be offered. All tickets purchased are done so under the agreement that if it is postponed, tickets will be valid for the next Hopscotch Festival Vancouver that takes place.

HOW ARE TICKETS DELIVERED? I CAN’T FIND MY TICKETS? I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY TICKETS…

Tickets are delivered by e-mail from Ticketleader.ca. Ticketleader usually sends out the actual tickets about 48-hours before the start of the event. If you don’t receive them or have questions about your ticket purchase, please contact Ticketleader. Their phone number is 604.252.3700. Please include your order number and first and last name they were purchased under.

ARE THERE TICKETING FEES AND TAX?

Yes. We use a 3rd party ticketing site and no one works for free. The fees have been negotiated for the benefit of our guests and continue to be minimal. Regarding tax, only GST is charged on tickets.

IS THERE HANDICAP ACCESS AND PARKING?

Yes. If you require parking for the disabled, there will be spots onsite. There are ramps where needed for wheelchair and more gradual ups and downs where necessary.

ARE MINORS ALLOWED AT ANY HOPSCOTCH EVENT?

No. All events are 19+ and thus no one from the age of 0 days old to 18 and 364 days old may be at at Hopscotch event.
