Treat Your Team to a Table!

Take this opportunity to celebrate your hard work and resilience with your colleagues!  When you purchase a table of ten, you receive CANS-prepared, branded signage reserving your exclusive table in the front two rows closest to the stage and entertainment. You will also have the opportunity to arrive at the venue early to decorate your table if you wish (e.g. a tablecloth, centrepiece, etc.).

Please note that the price of a table of ten is higher than the price of 10 individual tickets because the table you purchase is yours for the night – guaranteed seats throughout the evening!  Whereas when you purchase 10 individual tickets, you do not have any guaranteed seats for the duration of the event; all tables will be refreshed when groups finish eating, to make space for the next group to sit and eat.

Table of Ten: – SOLD OUT

  • Members: $2,000
  • Non-Member: $2,300
