ENTRY TO THE VENUE:
There are two (2) public entrances to the venue, Main East Gate and West Gate. The Main East Gate is located on the northeast side of the venue, next to the Shadbolt Centre.

Ticketmaster "Will Call" is located at this entrance. All patrons picking up tickets from Will Call and those with tickets can access the site at this gate.

Anyone picking up tickets from the Deer Lake Ticketmaster Will Call Box Office at the Main Gate must ensure they have the matching credit card used to purchase the tickets, photo I.D. and the confirmation number of the ticket order.

The West Gate is located on the northwest side of the venue. This entrance is restricted to ticket and Ticketfast holders only.

Both entrances feed from Deer Lake Avenue off Deer Lake Parkway or Canada Way. Signs will point patrons in direction of site access.

DEER LAKE AVENUE TRAFFIC ADVISORIES
To promote public safety and reduce traffic gridlock, the Burnaby RCMP will implement the following traffic plan:

From 4:00 to 9:30pm, Deer Lake Ave. will be closed to eastbound traffic between Deer Lake Parkway and Sperling Ave. Bus service will continue in both directions during this time. Traffic coming onto Deer Lake Ave. will enter at Canada Way and Deer Lake Ave. (by the Burnaby Village Museum) and proceed west with the option to exit at either Century Park Way or Deer Lake Parkway.

From 9:30 to 11:00pm, Deer Lake Ave. will be closed between Deer Lake Parkway and Sperling Ave. During this window, bus service will be interrupted on Deer Lake Ave. and riders will have to walk north to Canada Way bus stops. Translink will post “interruption of service” notices on Deer Lake Ave. bus stops.

DROPOFF/ PICKUPZONE:
A Drop-off zone will be designated in the Deer Lake Ave. stalls directly across from the North Lot at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts until 9:30pm. Deer Lake Ave will be closed to all traffic between 9:30pm and 11pm.

PARKING:
Parking in and around Deer Lake Park is limited. Utilizing transit, carpools, or bicycles to attend events is encouraged. Bike racks are located on site.

Bicycles will not be permitted inside the site, but bike racks will be available near the Main Gate and the West Gate on a first come, first served basis. Owners must provide their own locks and leave bicycles at their own risk.

Parking at Deer Lake Park, Shadbolt Centre and associated buildings will be restricted to production and emergency vehicle parking only on the day of show. However, limited sections of the Shadbolt Centre’s North Parking Lot will be available for vehicles displaying official SPARC (parking permit for people with disabilities) parking decals on a first come, first served basis. There will also be limited parking available in the North Parking Lot for motorcycles and scooters, based on a first come first served basis. Please access this lot by coming westbound from Deer Lake Avenue and Canada Way.

Disability Permit Parking For vehicles displaying the official disability parking permit (SPARC), limited parking will be available in the Shadbolt Centre's North Parking lot on a first come first served basis. Vehicles must access this area from the east end of Deer Lake Avenue at Canada Way (by Esso Gas Station).

TAXI Drop-Off / Pick-Up Zone:
A drop-off and pick-up only zone will be designated in the Deer Lake Avenue stalls directly across from the North Lot at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: During large scale events in Deer Lake Park, there may be a last minute decision to temporarily halt bus service on Deer Lake Avenue. This decision is made by RCMP in collaboration with transit authorities and may not be passed on right away to event staff in order that the public can be advised. In most cases, Translink will post an “Interruption of Service” notice on the bus stops in question on Deer Lake Avenue. If you arrive at the bus stop and wait for a specific bus that is late to arrive or there are many others waiting at the stop, it is likely the service has been temporarily interrupted. We would like to suggest that you walk over to the bus loop at Burnaby City Hall. Proceed west on Deer Lake Avenue to Deer Lake Parkway and turn north (right) to City Hall bus loop.

A designated Accessible Seating area for any patrons requiring wheelchair, ADA or special seating consideration will be located on site. Accessible Seating tickets can be purchased by phone at 1-855-682-6736.
