  • Vancouver Bright Nights extended til Jan

The Vancouver Park Board has two Christmas surprises for everyone who missed out on snagging the tickets for the Stanley Park Christmas Train.

The Park Board says it’s releasing another 17-thousand tickets for the Bright Nights event and it’s also extending the run until January 6th due to high demand.

The board says ticket sales will be begin tomorrow at 9 a.m. -- and a virtual waiting room will open half an hour earlier, with people in the room randomly assigned a place in the purchasing queue and anyone signing in after 9 a.m. served once the queue has cleared.

More than 23-thousand tickets for the popular ride and fundraiser for the B-C Professional Fire Fighter's Burn Fund sold out in less than 90 minutes earlier this month.
