FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

You got 'em, and we've got all the answers, to everything. Ever.

What time will the bands start at?
Doors will always open at 7pm with bands usually starting on or around 9pm. There is on average a 30 min break between acts.

How can I get tickets for shows?
We will sell 80% of the tickets for events online in our e-store and usually place 10 or so at Leo's Video, with whatever is left over for sale at the door at a first come, first serve basis. Tickets purchased in our e-store can be picked up when doors open door for the event. Please keep in mind that online ticket sales will stop for each show at 4:00pm on the day of the event. Advance ticket sales are subject to a $1.50 service charge/tax. Ticket prices and performing artists subject to change.

Can I get pre-sale tickets for every show?
Basically, we will do our best to let you know on our website & Facebook fan page if there won't be ticket pre-sales. In these cases there will be a first come, first serve policy in effect and once we sell out and reach capacity then we are very sorry but we'll have to have to turn people away at the door! Tickets for most of our shows will be available in our e-store, and we recommend purchasing them there prior to the event if you love the band (and it's cheaper).

I am underage. Can I come?
As of August 2011, Habitat is a 19+ venue with a liquor primary license. Sorry kidlets.

Can I bring my camera, or take pictures with my phone?
No public cameras. Period. Not DSLRs, not SLRs, no consumer cameras... basically if it isn't your cell phone, it cannot come in.

If you wish to bring your camera to an event to take photos to provide us at a later date, please contact us prior to the show. Otherwise, if you bring your camera you will not be allowed to bring it on to the premises and you should be prepared to store it somewhere other than on your person for the duration of the event.

It's too loud/I don't like the band!
Both of these are subjective opinions and we don't supply refunds. You may bring earplugs if you wish.

I am in a band/represent a group that would like to consider booking with The Habitat.
Please visit our bookings page and in turn we will contact you with an offer!

I sent you a booking request one/two/three days/weeks ago! Why haven't you replied?
We receive dozens or requests every day and unfortunately due to the extremely high volume it can take a while before we have the time to get back to you. Don't take it personally.

When are you going to stop talking? I don't care what you said, I just want to e-mail you!
You may e-mail info@thehabitat.ca.

Where can I find more information?
You can follow us on Facebook or join the conversation on Twitter.
Still confused? Call us! (250) 763-9674.

Let's take some time this winter to look back on all the great events we've had together! Remember these? If you do great, if not, we understand – we've been there too. It just means you have more to look forward to in 2011!


Lose some time in the media gallery and look back, fondly, on some of the great times.
