FAQs
Quick answers to the questions we get most.
Is THE WEEKEND free?
Yes — free for users and free for hosts.
How do I find events in my area?
On the home page, choose STUDENT if you're at a varsity or college, or GENERAL if you're not. Then pick your province and keep narrowing down until you reach your town or campus. Finally, pick a date.
How do I become a host?
Go to Become a Host and fill in the form. You must be 18 or older (we verify this with your SA ID — the ID itself is never stored). Once an admin approves your account, you can log in and upload events.
Why do you need my SA ID number?
Only to confirm that you are 18 or older, and that the ID is valid. We don't store the number. After verification, it's discarded immediately.
How long does approval take?
Usually within 2 business days. You'll know it's approved when you receive a confirmination email.
Can I sell tickets through THE WEEKEND?
Not yet. For now, if you sell tickets elsewhere (like Computicket or Webtickets), paste the link when you upload your event, and users will be sent there to buy.
I'm having a problem at an event. Can you help?
For anything that happens at an event — refunds, changes, safety, lost items — you need to contact the host directly. THE WEEKEND is only a listing platform.
How do I delete my host account?
Email us at theweekend2026@yahoo.com with the subject "Delete my account" and we'll remove your data.
Why no phone number?
We're email-only. It keeps things simple, on record, and lets us help more people faster.
