With the event two weeks away, Jones said things look amazing as they are close to selling out. Seating capacity is a little more than 350. A large amount of those tickets were purchased by club members. There are 23 weekend passes remaining, which can be purchased by calling the Penticton Curling Club or dropping by.

During any given draw, Jones said it is likely that the top eight teams will always be on the ice.
