- Date: Sunday, November 15, 2026
- Doors: 7 pm
- Show: 8 pm
- Venue: Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre, UBC, 2555 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver
What to expect
TYLA is a two-time Grammy winner whose blend of pop, R&B and amapiano has built a large international following. The Thunderbird Sports Centre is a hockey arena on campus that converts for concerts, giving a more compact feel than downtown's larger arenas. Tickets for general sale opened in late July, after the tour was announced with dates across North America, Europe, the UK and Africa. For fans in the Lower Mainland, a Sunday night show on campus is a chance to see an artist on a world tour in a mid-sized room. A support act had not been announced on the venue's event page at the time of writing.
Tickets and prices
Tickets start from $77.55 and are sold through Ticketmaster, linked from the venue's official event page. Prices vary by section and fees are extra, so check the current options before you buy.
Getting there
The arena is near the south end of the UBC campus. Many TransLink bus routes end at the UBC Exchange, a walk of several minutes from the venue. Paid parking is available on campus; the venue's website has Getting Here and Parking pages with current details. Allow extra time after the show, as buses leaving campus can be busy.
Tips
- Review the venue's prohibited items and code of conduct before you go, including bag rules.
- Doors open an hour before the show, so plan to arrive early for merchandise and security lines.
- November evenings on campus are often cold and wet; bring a layer for the walk to and from the bus.
- The next day is a Monday, so plan your ride home ahead of time; check TransLink for late-evening service from UBC.
- Buy tickets only through official channels to avoid resale scams.
