Accessibility
Access to all.
We want everyone to have a great, comfortable and safe experience! At the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC), we offer accessible seating and options. Our state of the art design allows full access for guests with special needs and disabilities. On an event night, unannounced patrons who need accessible seating but did not purchase tickets in an accessible area will be accommodated to the best of our ability. We will do our best to make your experience comfortable.
