QUESTIONS.

WrestleCore is Vancouver’s punk rock wrestling party. We bring together live professional wrestling, larger-than-life characters and themed shows that turn a night out into a story your friends might never believe.

Absolutely not. Come for the spectacle, choose someone to cheer for and let the crowd introduce you to the rest. You don’t need to study championship history before ordering a beer.

Longtime wrestling fans will find plenty to love, too.

Big entrances, hard-hitting matches, outrageous personalities and a crowd that gets involved. Depending on the event, you might also find live music, horror-inspired characters or high-flying lucha libre.

Every show has its own identity. Check the event page to see what kind of trouble you’re walking into.

Please do. Pick your heroes. Boo the villains. Make some noise.

Keep it respectful toward other guests, follow staff instructions and leave the wrestling to the wrestlers. Stay outside the ring and any restricted areas unless invited by the show’s staff.

We present events at venues including Vancouver’s Rickshaw Theatre and The Waldorf. The venue and address are listed on each event page, so check your show details before heading out.

Running times vary by event. Our theatre shows and outdoor festivals have different formats, so check the event listing for doors, showtime and any published finish time.

Allow a little extra time to get inside, find your spot and check out the merchandise.

Age restrictions depend on the event and venue. Check the official listing before buying tickets, and bring valid identification when required.

An event being wrestling doesn’t automatically make it suitable for children.

Seating and standing arrangements vary by show. Check the ticket descriptions for any reserved seats, general admission areas or VIP options.

If you need a seat or a particular viewing arrangement, contact us before purchasing so we can help clarify the options.

Accessibility arrangements vary by venue. For information about step-free access, accessible washrooms, seating or support-person arrangements, check with the venue directly.

You can also contact WrestleCore before booking, and we’ll help you find the information you need to plan your visit.

For a themed show? We encourage getting into the spirit. Horror on Hastings is an especially good excuse to dress to kill.

Follow the venue’s rules on masks, props and entry requirements. Check with the venue before bringing any costume weapon or oversized accessory.

Merchandise availability varies by event. Check out the WrestleCore merchandise page and look for merch tables at the show.

Individual wrestlers may also have their own merchandise available. Selections, sizes and payment options can vary.

Visit our Upcoming Events page and follow the official ticket link for your chosen show. Review the date, venue, age restriction and ticket type before checking out.

Check the official ticket page for any released tickets or an available waitlist. A waitlist is only offered when announced and does not guarantee admission.
