Tickets & Registration

GET INVOLVED

Tickets

We are introducing a new, more equitable process for GOV 2025 to help more youth attend GOV at least once.

Chaperones will now need to fill out an application to request tickets (you can request up to 12, including chaperone tickets). Please note that requesting a ticket does not guarantee that you will receive one.

Applications open in the GOV app on October 21, 2024 at 10 a.m. PST and will close at 11:59 p.m. on October 22, 2024 or when the waitlist fills (whichever comes first).

Extra tickets will not be available onsite at GOV as we anticipate selling out again!

Application Process

✅ Create your account in the GOV app or log in to your account and ensure your information is up to date

✅ Submit your application starting at 10:00 a.m. PST on Oct 21

✅ We will sort applications by region to ensure delegates from all regions are represented and then tickets will be reviewed according to the time you submitted your application (first-come first-serve). From there, groups who were waitlisted in 2024 or who are bringing majority of youth in care or with disabilities will be given priority

✅ Check your emails on November 5 (including spam folder) to see if you have been offered GOV tickets. Please note that we will not send an email if you were not offered tickets

✅If you were offered tickets, pay for them by January 10. If you were not offered tickets, please check your emails again on January 11 to see if you were offered tickets from the waitlist

Please note that our GOV team is mighty but small! For this reason, we will not respond to inquiries about ticket status before November 5. Any bands, families, or organizations with multiple applications will be moved to the end of the line as this creates a lot more work for our team. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

Payment Policy

Registration fees are set at $300 per person (delegate or chaperone).

Full payment must be received by BCAAFC no later than January 10, 2025 or your seats will be released to the waitlist.

We can take payment through credit card or cheque:

If paying by credit card, a receipt will be directly emailed to you from Square.
If paying by cheque, please mail your cheque to 551 Chatham Street, Victoria BC V8T 1E1. A receipt will be issued shortly after your cheques arrive at the BCAAFC office to your e-mail.

Cancellations made by January 31, 2025 will receive a full refund. Cancellations made in February will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made before March 14 will receive a 25% refund. No refunds will be issued after March 14, 2025.

Registration

We encourage chaperones to help their youth get registered before GOV 2025. This will make your arrival to GOV much smoother and faster!
