OTTAWA - FRIDAY NIGHT TICKET HOLDERS

Due to the heavy rains, the LeBreton Flats grounds experienced significant pooling making the site unable to accommodate the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival scheduled for Friday, August 9th.

These refunds including the ticket price, facility fee, and taxes (for all tickets and add-ons) may take up to 6-8 weeks to process. If you purchased tickets from a third-party, you will have to reach out to them directly and it is not in our control. Thank you for your understanding!
