They might be the current kings of Vancouver sports.<\/p>\n

While the Vancouver Canucks may never be knocked off their pedestal in this market, the Whitecaps have surely given fans better bang for their buck over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

The addition of international superstar Thomas M\u00fcller, along with their trip to the MLS Cup Final last fall, has equated to more butts in seats at BC Place so far this season.<\/p>\n

As the Vancouver Whitecaps prepare to play their final home game before a three-month hiatus from BC Place, they\u2019re on pace for the largest crowd of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s saying something, considering attendance is already up about 25 per cent<\/a> from this time last year.<\/p>\n

A source confirmed to Daily Hive that over 25,000 tickets have been sold for their battle against the Colorado Rapids.<\/p>\n

So far through seven home games, the Whitecaps have averaged 23,704 per match. They\u2019ve crested the 25,000 on two occasions as well.<\/p>\n

Due to construction at BC Place, there\u2019s not a firm number on what a lower bowl sellout would look like, but a source confirmed it\u2019s around 26,000.<\/p>\n

The tickets remaining for Saturday\u2019s contest range between $60 and $180 on Ticketmaster.<\/a><\/p>\n

Not many tickets remain for the Vancouver Whitecaps game on Saturday. (Ticketmaster)<\/p>\n

The Whitecaps have been magnificent all season long, as they currently sit second overall in the MLS standings with a 7-0-1 record. They could tie the San Jose Earthquakes for first overall with a win on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Although the Whitecaps don\u2019t play at home against until after the FIFA World Cup, even their next game at BC Place is close to being sold out. That match will see the Whitecaps host LAFC, in a rematch of the epic Conference Semifinals from last November. A source told Daily Hive that over 23,000 tickets have already been sold for that contest.<\/p>\n

Aside from the fact that Saturday will be Vancouver\u2019s last home game until August, there could be some extra meaning for Whitecaps fans.<\/p>\n

The Vancouver Southsiders are planning a \u201cSave the Caps\u201d march<\/a> before the game, as relocation rumours remain a concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They might be the current kings of Vancouver sports.
