Bruno Mars Pre-Auction Event

As part of our 10th Annual Online Auction Fundraiser, we’re giving bidders an early opportunity to win one of five pairs of tickets to see Bruno Mars live in concert on Wednesday, October 14, 2026!

Because this exciting event takes place before our auction officially launches, we’re holding a special Pre-Auction Event for these tickets only.

For the next few days, place your bid for the chance to attend one of the year’s hottest concerts while supporting arts education and access for children and youth in our community to the arts programs. All seats are in the lower bowl 240 and 242 at BC Place with great sightlines.

This special Pre-Auction Event is now LIVE and closes Monday, Oct. 12 at 5:00 PM.

Don’t miss your chance to experience an unforgettable night with Bruno Mars!
