Capacity limits lifted for live events in BC

As announced by the Province of British Columbia and the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) on Tuesday, February 15, capacity limits for live events throughout the Province have been lifted and will return back to 100% capacity.“We are incredibly thankful to receive yesterday’s news,” said General Manager of the SOEC Complex, Dean Clarke. “The last few months have been an emotional whirlwind for the event industry, specifically the Interior Health region, having yo-yoed between half and full capacity restrictions between November and January. Moving back to full capacity is something to be celebrated and we can’t wait to open our doors to more fans and to continue offering world-class entertainment to the Okanagan Valley.” The Penticton Vees will be the first to fill their seats in full with a “Hat Trick” weekend ahead, as they host three back-to-back home games at the SOEC starting this Friday, February 18 versus the West Kelowna Warriors at 7:00PM. Tickets to all three games are available now and can be purchased at ValleyFirstTix.com or in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC.All current upcoming events and concerts at the SOEC Complex will move to full capacity set-ups, including:
