Canada Salsa Congress 2016 Tickets
Tickets & pases can be bought in person at the registration booth in the hotel. The event does NOT sell out – it runs in one of the the largest ballrooms in Canada! Registration opens at 1pm on Friday and will remain open until 1am all weekend long. Each person must pick up their own pass in person – you cannot pick up a pass for a friend. Most passes are in the form of a wristband which must remain on at all times, all weekend long. Wristbands can withstand showering, sweating and dancing!
Late night tickets (after 11pm) can only be bought at the door. Late night tickets allow people to attend the dancing portion of the event after the shows end (approx. 11pm). Dancing and parties run until 4am every night and run from $15 to $35 depending on the night you go.
