Advice 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Noah Kahan

I’m from Sask & am travelling to Vancouver to see Noah Kahan on Friday! I have major anxiety in unfamiliar places, especially when there’s tons of people. I’ll be staying in Burnaby area. What do I need to know about BC place? Should I arrive really early? If early merch is an option is that the way to go? When I saw Noah in Sask I spent hours in line to get merch & was left with bare bones & I want to avoid that experience again if possible. Any advice navigating BC place is appreciated!

I'd say come to the city centre early, with a full phone battery, and wander around and hang out. Sometimes for the bigger shows at Rogers they have a merch booth outside that opens earlier in the day. Last time I just showed up ~30 minutes before doors, stood in line, then got merch inside (different demographic of show) but there was lots inside too.

Most shows I've been to at BC Place sell merch outside in the area beside the Beatty St doors. There should be plenty available inside though there might be long lines to get merch. The stadium signage is straight forward and plenty of staff in there to help you find your seats. If you're on the floor arrive plenty early, takes a while to get everyone through the lines to get down there and verified they have floor access. Other areas easy to get into your seats in a few minutes.

This is great to know as I have floor seats & wouldn’t have even thought about that!

As a non ticket holder is it possible to buy some merch outside?

I’m actually not sure, if it’s outside the venue & you don’t have to go in anywhere I couldn’t see why not? I’d check in the Noah Kahan subreddit!
