The Corporation des Évènements de Trois-Rivières wants to offer to its clients who wish to purchase tickets an equal opportunity to buy for everyone. Our Internet ticket sale goes through a virtual waiting room that provides access to tickets on a random basis (draw) rather than on a "first come, first served" basis.
The virtual waiting room usually opens 30 minutes before the announced time of ticket sales. It means that all Internet users who arrive in the waiting room before the scheduled time of the sale has an equal chance to access the tickets. For a show with a high ticket demand, more fans will appear in the virtual waiting room. A place in the waiting room does not guarantee access to tickets.
When the sale begins, a draw among all the present Internet users determines the access to the tickets order. The virtual waiting room sends a warning to randomly selected users when it’s their turn to choose tickets. In the case that all tickets are purchased, Internet users who have not been selected will receive a message informing them that the sale has ended.
Here are the steps to follow to purchase tickets online. In the buying environment, the steps are numbered for easier navigation.
Step 1: Choose your event (if there is more than one performance of the chosen event). Get more information about your event and the Corporation des Évènements de Trois-Rivières policies by clicking on the "more info" link.

In a sale context, when a customer receives a seat offer, our system temporarily blocks access to these seats to all other buyers to prevent the sale of the same seats to more than one customer. If the customer decides not to accept the proposed selection or if the payment is refused, the seats assigned to him will become available again for sale.
Please note that there may be a release of tickets between the time of the sale and the event. For more details on the tickets release process, refer to the "Tickets release" section below.
As the event approaches, the technical needs of producers become clearer, allowing us to sell tickets that are originally unsaleable for technical reasons. In addition, in the hours prior to an event, when the stage set-up and the installation of the technical equipment are completed, the Cogeco Amphitheatre and the producers adjust the capacity and release new tickets if space permits. Consequently, it is possible that tickets closer to the stage will be available after your purchase. Be assured, however, that at the time you made your purchase, the best tickets available were those you have in your possession.
Please note that as stated in our purchase agreement at http://www.amphitheatrecogeco.com , there is no exchange or refund once a ticket has been purchased.
