By Karen Bliss

Country musician Dallas Smith has created a hotel concert series to raise money for his non-profit organization Lifted, “committed to ensuring that mental health services are accessible to anyone and everyone in need.”


The inaugural shows for the Lifted Hotel Festival will be held in Vancouver at The Westin Bayshore, Sept. 17-18, and viewed from the hotel's balconies.

Only 200 tickets will be sold per day, starting at $699 for the room (for four people) and concert. The on-sale begins at 10 a.m. (PT) on July 13 on the Showpass website.

"With lush and serene Stanley Park at its doorstep, water lapping the Coal Harbour Shores, snow-capped North Shore mountains in sight, and the vibrant city centre just around the corner, The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver is in perfect balance with its breathtaking surroundings," it reads on the hotel's overview page.

StubHub Fined $20,000 By Ontario Government Over Ticket Resale Laws

The ticket resale platform has been hit with two $10,000 fines for allegedly selling tickets above face value and facilitating a transaction without having proof of the original price, failing to comply with the province's recent legislation which prohibits reselling tickets above their original value.

Ontario is continuing its crackdown on ticket resales.

The Ontario government has fined the ticket resale platform StubHub $20,000 for acting in non-compliance of the province's Ticket Sales Act. The Ontario Consumer Beware List shows that StubHub has been hit with two fines, each worth $10,000, for allegedly "making a ticket available for sale above face value" and "facilitating a transaction without having proof of the original price."
