Due to the success and excitement surrounding the Sea Bears, Winnipeg’s CEBL franchise will be offering more tickets for its 2025 home opener.

The Sea Bears announced Friday that they’re selling tickets in the upper bowl at Canada Life Centre for their game on May 16.

“We are incredibly grateful to the people of Winnipeg and Manitoba for their overwhelming support as we prepare to kickoff our season,” said Jason Smith, the team’s President.

“Opening the upper deck is a true testament to how this city has embraced the Sea Bears. The energy in the building last year was unmatched, and we can’t wait to build on that as we tip off an exciting new season. With the addition of Championship Weekend in August, this is going to be a special year, and we’re so proud to share it with our fans and our community.”

In addition to more seats, the Sea Bears home opener will also feature Juno award-winning artist, Maestro Fresh Wes, during halftime.

Tickets for the home opener can be purchased starting at $19.
