Beer prices for Vancouver Canucks home games at Rogers Arena tick up slightly this season, based on alcohol costs observed during a preseason matchup.
The Story
A selection of beer prices inside Rogers Arena for Vancouver Canucks games has risen slightly for the season, according to pricing observed during Thursday’s preseason game between the Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers.
For customers buying the smallest commonly listed pour, 24-ounce beers show only modest increases. The price for a 24 oz Molson Canadian, Coors Original and Granville Island is set a penny higher than the previous year, reflecting rounding of prices ending in 49 cents up to the nearest 50 cents. Molson Canadian moved from $19.49 to $19.50, while the equivalent 24-ounce serving is about a dollar more at a Canucks game than at an Oilers game.
If fans opt for a smaller 12-ounce beer, the increases are slightly larger. The listed 12 oz prices rise by 25 cents across the board, with Molson Canadian set at $10 (up from $9.75), Coors Original at $11 (up from $10.75), and Granville Island at $12 (up from $11.75).
Beyond beer, the pricing at the concourse includes a broader range of bar offerings. The selection described includes liquor, cocktails, coolers, wine, and additional beer options on tap and in cans available at bars inside the arena.
Non-alcoholic drink pricing also reflects changes. The Canucks appear to have switched from Pepsi products to Coca-Cola products for in-arena sales, with PepsiCo previously serving as the exclusive supplier for the team and Rogers Arena since 2011.
Under the updated soft-drink lineup, the cheapest Coca-Cola item is identified as a medium soft drink for $8, which is $1 more than the $6.99 bottle of Pepsi charged last season. Other listed items show smaller changes: a bottle of water remains at $6.25, and a Minute Maid juice is expected to be $7.50—one penny higher than Dole juice at $7.49 last season.
For sports drink options, Powerade is listed at $8.50, up from $7.49 the Canucks charged previously for Gatorade.
For fans planning purchases during games, the changes point to a continued pattern of relatively incremental price movement compared with last season, particularly on 24-ounce pours, while smaller 12-ounce beers and some non-alcoholic items see clearer increases.
