For new members: How To Activate Your Account
Do this prior to the sale date to avoid disappointment!
- Visit secure.rbg.ca/account/login
- Enter your email address and “submit” (NOTE: RBG members must use the email associated with their current membership)
- Check your email for a link to reset your password
- Log in with your new credentials and check your account information. Ensure your updated membership is showing.

To help manage site activity and make registration as fair as possible, RBG has implemented an online waiting room system.
The waiting room will open 1 hour prior to sale time (note: there is no advantage to entering the waiting room earlier than others). When the sale begins, you will be randomly placed in an online queue, with a limited number of registrants let into the site at a time. Complete your purchase, and close the browser tab when complete.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the popularity of this experience and large number of individuals hoping to secure registrations, the waiting room time may be significant. Please factor a long wait into your planning.
Why use a virtual waiting room? A virtual queue allows a limited (and randomly selected) number of individuals into the ticket site at once. This practice:
- prevents “cart-jacking” (a reduced number of individuals competing to add the same tickets to their carts at the same time)
- ensures the ticketing site can operate without being overwhelmed by web traffic
- accommodates those working with slower internet connections without fear of competing
- creates a fairer system overall by randomly assigning places in the virtual line
Tickets purchased to special events are final sale and non-refundable. Tickets for this event can be transferred to someone else if you can no longer attend. If RBG cancels a special event, ticketholders will be fully refunded. Please keep your tickets and confirmation: it is proof of your purchase and allows entry for the event.
Liability: RBG assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to property, or for personal injury or mishap; all activities are at the risk of the participant.

About the Artist
Feist
Widely recognized as one of the most compelling vocalists and songwriters in her genre, Leslie Feist is a 14-time Juno Award-winning solo artist and founding member of Broken Social Scene. Following the breakout success of her sophomore album Let It Die, she went on to achieve international acclaim with 2007`s The Reminder: a gold-certified release that landed on best-of-the-year lists from outlets like Pitchfork, NPR, Spin, and Rolling Stone, along with earning four Grammy nominations. The Reminder paved the way for Feist`s appearance on such iconic shows as “Saturday Night Live” and “Sesame Street”, and setup her Polaris-Prize-winning masterpiece, Metals. Metals was one of three of Feist’s albums, including her most recent, Multitudes – to receive “Album of the Year” honours from New York Times – the only artist to accomplish such a feat. “A soul-stirring career highlight”, praised The Guardian, 2023’s Multitudes saw her reclaim performance spaces with boundary-breaking performances in the round and put her once again back at the Grammy and Juno Awards in 2024, winning for Best Adult Alternative Album at the latter.
