The Times of India Film Awards is kicking off with lots of tickets to be had.
Scalpers outside the musical extravaganza at Pacific Coliseum are selling tickets for half off or even less.
However, the concorse inside the Pacific Coliseum is busy with crowds searching around for some Bollywood personalities.
Vena says this event is a big, big deal for the Indian community. "The fact that it's in Vancouver? We're so excited! I have a pair of friends who went out to Toronto when other film awards were in Toronto so yyea, this is a big deal."
Portions of the upper balcony at Pacific Coliseum are also blocked off.
The actual award ceremony will be held Saturday night at BC Place.
