Single-day tickets have already sold out for Saturday (though a limited number of two-day weekend passes still remain), while a Canada Sevens spokesperson tells Daily Hive 80% of Sunday tickets are gone as well.
Capacity is being capped at about 40,000 each day, which should make for a raucous atmosphere — as the lower bowl should be full. Tournament organizers tell Daily Hive they are expecting a weekend attendance “well over 70,000” for the fourth year in a row. The Canada Sevens attendance record is 77,097, set in 2018.
