Purchase Your Ticket
Please inquire with your firm, organization, or law school prior to purchasing a single or student ticket. Many employers and law schools are generous sponsors of the FACL BC Gala, so you may be able to secure a seat through them rather than purchasing an individual ticket.
Two types of tickets are available for purchase:
Single Tickets (Non-Refundable): $185 per ticket - SOLD OUT
- Single tickets can be purchased individually or in groups.
- Single ticket holders will be assigned seating at a table of 10 closer to the date of the Gala.
Student Tickets (Non-Refundable): $90 per ticket - Sale starts September 22
- Students currently enrolled at a Canadian law school, articling students, judicial law clerks, and NCA candidates are eligible to purchase a student ticket.
- Guests of individuals who purchase students tickets must also be eligible for students tickets in order to attend the Gala using student tickets.
- A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase starting September 22.
- If you have any questions about your eligibility to purchase student tickets, please contact Lily Zhang, gala chair, at gala@faclbc.ca.
Seating Requests
Single or student ticket holders will be assigned seating at a table of 10 closer to the date of the Gala. If you would like to request to sit together with one or more other attendee(s) at the Gala, please complete this form. Only one attendee in the group needs to complete the form after all attendees in the group have purchased their tickets. Please read the instructions on the form carefully before completing the form.

Bursaries
FACL BC, as an equity-seeking organization, recognizes that there can be financial barriers to our members attending the 14th Annual Gala. In order to help reduce this barrier, FACL BC is pleased to present two types of bursaries aimed to make attending the 14th Annual Gala more accessible for law students and lawyers practicing outside of large firms.
These bursaries are awarded on a rolling basis and are subject to the availability of the bursaries and single tickets or student tickets, as applicable. If you have any questions about your eligibility for the bursaries, please do not hesitate to contact Lily Zhang, gala chair, at gala@faclbc.ca.
The bursaries will be paid to recipients following the 14th Annual Gala.
FACL BC reserves the right to exercise sole discretion over the eligibility, recipients, and amount of bursaries provided.
