Edmontonians have another chance to own a piece of local history through a new sale of Coliseum seats.
The City of Edmonton partnered with a third party auction house earlier this summer to sell pairs of seats to the public. Public feedback has led to a second sale where buyers can purchase individual seats and sets of seats from the suite level. This second seat sale will end on Saturday, November 30 at 5 p.m.
Seats are being sold online through Michener Allen auction house at
https://www.maauctions.com/. There is no option to buy seats directly at the Coliseum. Buyers must register an account with the site to purchase seats. For wood back floor-mounted seats there is a limit of two units per person. Pickup will be available from Thursday to Saturday and buyers will receive information on when they can pick up their seats.
All proceeds from selling surplus assets will be used to offset costs associated with maintaining the Exhibition Lands site. The City aims to repurpose and sell as many assets as possible as part of the Exhibition Lands site transition and strategy.
