Tickets

Click here to place your deposit.
When will tickets go on sale?
The exact date has not yet been determined, but all fans interested in securing season tickets are encouraged to place a $100 non-refundable deposit at their earliest convenience.
If I make a deposit, will I be guaranteed an opportunity to purchase season tickets?
Your opportunity to purchase season tickets will depend on the number of fans who place a deposit in front of you. The earlier you get on the Wait List, the better position you will be in to select season tickets.
If I join as a founding member, should I also put down a deposit for the season ticket waitlist?
The membership will have different benefits than a season seat holder, so if you are interested in being a founding member and having season seats, you can put a deposit down for both.
Why do I have to pay to get on the Wait List?
A fee is required to join the Wait List to confirm your interest in purchasing full season tickets. This fee also acts as an initial deposit toward the final purchase of season tickets for your seat location.
How will the seat selection process work?
Seat selection priority will be assigned based on the order in which deposits are received.
Am I able to join the Season Ticket Wait List if I live outside of Toronto?
Due to anticipated demand, we reserve the right to limit Wait List members to buyers with a permanent address within 100 kilometres of Coca Cola Coliseum. However, members will have priority access to single game tickets for games outside of Toronto.
How many seats will I be able to purchase during my “Purchase Window”?
During your Purchase Window, you will be able to purchase the same number of seats as 2026 Season Ticket Waitlist Deposits placed. For example, if you placed four (4) 2026 Season Ticket Waitlist Deposits, you will be able to purchase season ticket memberships for four (4) seats.
When will seat selection begin?
The exact date has not yet been determined, but all 2026 Season Ticket Waitlist Deposit holders will be contacted by a member of the Tempo ticketing team in the near future based on priority number.
If I don’t hear from a Tempo representative, do I lose my spot on the Wait List?
No, if you are not contacted by a member of the Tempo ticketing team you will remain a Season Ticket Wait List member until (a) you are offered the opportunity to purchase season tickets, (b) you request to be removed from the Wait List, or (c) your Season Ticket Wait List Deposit is revoked for any reason described in the Ticket Deposit Policy.
Does my deposit guarantee premium seating options?
Individuals who have already placed a 2026 Season Ticket Waitlist deposit will be contacted via the email on file and provided with a survey link to indicate their interest in premium seating options. Once the survey is completed, a member of the Tempo ticketing team will reach out directly to discuss next steps, based on their position on the premium seating waitlist.
Who do I contact with questions about the Season Ticket Wait List?
Fans who have questions regarding the Season Ticket Wait List or who need any assistance with a season ticket membership are encouraged to contact tickets@tempobasketball.com.
How will updates and other information be communicated to me during my Wait List term?
Those that join should expect email updates about the Wait List program from time to time. Email will be the primary form of communication for Season Ticket Waitlist information and updates. The tempo will make every effort to ensure email notifications are received in a timely manner, but the Tempo cannot guarantee email delivery due to third party constraints (spam, filters, firewalls etc.) Those on the list are responsible for maintaining a valid email address that is able to receive emails, and are encourages to notify the Tempo immediately at tickets@tempobasketball.com if they feel communications are not being properly received. It is the sole responsibility of those on the list to promptly notify the Tempo of any email address or telephone number changes. The Tempo are not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete, or illegible contact information.
