Friends and Family passes to Aritzia Warehouse Sale selling for $40 online

It’s Friends and Family day at the Aritzia Warehouse Sale, an exclusive, early-access shopping session for Aritzia employees and their loved ones.

If you want access to the VIP shopping event, it can be yours: for a fee.

Some entrepreneurial Vancouverites are selling their Friends and Family passes on Facebook Marketplace. The typical price for the privilege of joining the hours-long lineup? $20 to $50.

Re-selling is not authorized by the company, an Aritzia spokesperson told Daily Hive. But that doesn’t appear to be stopping the online sellers.

The passes seen online are green paper tickets with Aritzia’s bulls-eye branding. They say they give holders access to the event from 2 pm to 10 pm on August 30, before it opens to the public at 7 am on August 31.

Aritzia paused its super-popular warehouse sale for the last two years because of COVID-19 restrictions. This is the first sale since 2019, and many Metro Vancouverites are eager to get their hands on discounted items.

Deals at the Warehouse Sale include $350 coats for $175, $178 jumpsuits for $60 and $168 dress pants for $50.
