The South Okanagan Event Centre (SOEC) has announced that it will screen the Kingston, Ont. Tragically Hip concert for free.

On Sat., August 20, the doors will be opened at the SOEC so Tragically Hip fans can participate in a free screening party of the beloved Canadian band. The Tragically Hip played the SOEC in the summer of 2009 to a sold out crowd.

“When CBC announced they would be airing the last concert of The Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem Tour, we immediately wanted to be a part of it,” explained Carla Seddon, Director of Marketing for the South Okanagan Events Centre. “No one wants to watch their last concert alone; we’re excited and honoured to host this free public viewing party for the community. Join us as we come together to celebrate one of Canada’s greatest bands, The Tragically Hip.”

Although the screening party is FREE to attend, fans must secure a ticket in order to ensure entry.  Tickets are available in-person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC and are offered on a first-come, first, serve basis. Limit of eight tickets per person.
