⚠️ Don't get scammed when buying tickets! There are several websites claiming to be selling discounted Confederation Centre of the Arts tickets and many are not affiliated with the Centre at all. Here are six tips for staying safe when buying tickets online.

6 Tips for SAFE PURCHASING When Buying Tickets Online

Only purchase from the Confederation Centre of the Arts website or from our PEI-based accommodation, food, and attraction partners.

We recommend bookmarking the Centre website or adding it to your Favourites folder: confederationcentre.com / Remember: just because a ticket website comes up first or second on the Google search results page doesn't mean it's safe to use. Scammers can pay to be there.

You may be on a scammy ticket reseller website if:
- ticket prices seem suspiciously cheap or suspiciously expensive
- there are no fees—or the fees are over $8
- you can't choose your seat when purchasing (the Centre rarely does general admission events)

Before the Centre was built, Canada had no national monument honouring the creation of our country. ⁠ Today the Centre stands as a tribute to the dreamers who shaped Canada and to every province and territory that forms our nation. It’s more than a space for remembrance—it’s where Canada connects. 🇨🇦
