Many concertgoers travel to live music events, often visiting from other Canadian cities far and wide — inspiring many to seek nearby hotel options to enhance the overall experience.

“When music is seen as an experience, it can inspire weekend-getaways, staycations, date-nights and travel which makes this partnership a perfect fit- combine the love of music with an overnight stay at a hotel, or stay a little longer for a post-concert beverage, said Kirsten Kost, VP, Sales, Marketing & Brand Development for Silver Hotel Group. “We are excited to provide concert-goers with a warm welcome, exclusive offerings, and a memorable stay that honors the spirit of the music scene."

The partnership kicks off October 1st and ticket-goers can book directly with the one of the Official Hotel Partners by visiting the partnership website.
