All the way from New Orleans, the $uicideboy$ are coming to Vancouver this week, and they're bringing a few friends.
The trap and hip-hop duo is heading north of the border for a show at Rogers Arena on Friday, Aug. 23, showcasing their underground rap to a big crowd.
While they've racked up billions of listens on Soundcloud, Spotify and YouTube the pair ($crim and Ruby da Cherry) still don't garner much mainstream radio play in Canada. Despite that, they've nearly sold out Rogers Arena.
Coming with $uicideboy$ for the Grey Day 2024 show are Pouya, Haarper and Shakewell, along with local act Ekkstacy.
Show time
Gates for the show open at 6 p.m.
Tickets
While the show hasn't sold out yet, it is getting close. There are sections available looking from the side onto the stage, and then a few seats spread out throughout the arena.
Tickets aren't cheap though; currently, the lowest-priced seats on Ticketmaster are around $150 each, but that's only a handful of resale tickets. Beyond that, there are a fair number of tickets still available for under $200.
On the flip side are the floor tickets. Access to the standing area in front of the stage is running nearly $600 apiece.
Transportation
Hullo Ferries has added a special late-night sailing for the show, departing from the docks in front of the convention centre at 11:55 p.m. and arriving in Nanaimo at 1:15 a.m. It's also for people going to the Brad Paisley concert at the Pacific Coliseum.
TransLink has not announced any alerts, delays, or additional service which will affect trips to or from the concert in any meaningful way.
Restrictions
A few things aren't allowed in Rogers Arena for the show. Notably, some bags won't be permitted; all bags need to be under 35.5 cm by 35.5 cm by 15.2 cm. For reference, 35.5 cm is just a bit over 13 inches.
Rogers Arena is also a smoke-free zone, as far as cigarettes and cannabis are concerned. The band may have smoke machines.
Other common-sense items, like skateboards, selfie sticks and outside food and drinks, should be left at home.
Cashless venue
Rogers Arena is a cashless venue.
"Concession, retail stands, and hospitality will exclusively accept contactless forms of payment," states the arena's website.
Fan service
Rogers Arena has a fan service number to text if there are any issues during the show: 604-765-3267.
Concert-goers can text their issue and their location (seat number and row along with the section) and get help.
