Buy Tickets Online

 Ready to purchase Museum or IMAX Tickets?  

• Please double check the day and date of your visit before booking as tickets are non-refundable and may not be exchanged for another day and time.
• Each ticket booked on-line will be subject to a non-refundable transaction fee of $1.00 Canadian (tax included).
• Your Museum ticket serves as a day pass and may be used throughout the day from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm for all Museum exhibit areas
• Your IMAX ticket may be used only for the film you have selected on the date and time booked. Film schedule is subject to change.
• The Museum portion of a Museum/IMAX combination admission must be used on the same date as the IMAX portion of your admission. If you want to visit the Museum and IMAX on different dates you may not access the combination rate. 
• Tickets for Public Program activities (speaker series, workshops, etc.) are available on-line under Royal BC Museum Gallery Visit or Public Program booking section of the Ticketing page. The discount for booking an entire series of Public Program activities, and the Friends Member discount, are not available on-line but are available for in-person public program purchases.
• The number of tickets available through our on-line ticketing reflects total ticket availability for that time or event.  
• Visa and MasterCard may be used to book online.
• When your online transaction is complete, you will receive an e-mail from the Royal BC Museum. This e-mail contains a PDF file that contains your bar-coded tickets. You will be able to print the bar-coded tickets on your own printer. Please ensure you bring these tickets with you, as they will be scanned on entry into the museum exhibits area, at the base of the escalator in the main floor lobby.

 Experiencing technical difficulties with on-line sales?

• If you experience any problems in receiving the PDF file by e-mail, you may need to temporarily adjust your email and anti-virus security settings to accept PDF files, readable with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The file created by the ticket purchase will still be on your computer within your e-mail program, and will appear once those settings have been changed. When you have opened the document and printed the tickets, then revert to your previous security settings within your e-mail program. When printing your tickets, select "Print as an Image" from Acrobat Reader program.
  
• A current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view and print the tickets. If you do not already have this program installed, you can download the software at no charge from http://www.adobe.com/. If you still cannot view or print your bar-coded tickets, or have any other printing problems, please bring your transaction number to the Web Sales assistance counter on arrival at the Museum and we will print them for you.
