Skip+ Gives Fans Even More Ways to Skip to the Good Parts of Summer 

TORONTO, July 15, 2025 /CNW/ - Ready to crank up the volume on convenience? Skip, Canada's homegrown delivery network, is helping Canadians skip to the best part of the summer season with Skip+, its exclusive membership program. This summer, Skip+ members can unlock VIP access to the hottest live events of the season, creating unforgettable moments and core summer memories along the way.

With Canada's long-awaited summer season back in full swing, so is our love for live entertainment, warm summer evenings and making the most of every moment. That's why this summer, Skip+ is helping Canadians Skip to the good part, ensuring summer is nothing short of sweet and memorable.

In partnership with Live Nation Canada, Skip+ members can enjoy exclusive perks at some of the season's hottest concerts at Toronto's most iconic outdoor venue, Budweiser Stage, from July through September.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Fast-Track Entry: Skip past the main crowd and glide through the Skip+ lane at Budweiser Stage gates.
• VIP Merch Access: Hit the merch stands via the exclusive Skip+ queue so you can snag limited-edition tees before they sell out.
• On-the-Spot Sign-Up: Forgot to join? Flash-sign-up at the gate and step straight into the fast lane.

As a sponsor of Canada's largest music and arts festival, OSHEAGA, Skip is offering up benefits to Skip+ members in attendance. During OSHEAGA weekend (August 1-3), Skip+ members get the wheel deal: a fast pass lane to skip the line and ride the Ferris wheel. Additionally, Skip+ members can enjoy exclusive access to the Skip+ RESTroom, a members-only space with perks including:

• Private Perks: Freshen up in your own private bathroom or grab a drink at the exclusive Skip+ bar
• Glow-Up Station: Hit the mirror-equipped service stops for hair touch-ups, face mists, and a splash of body glitter
• Chill Zone: Lounge under shady umbrellas or sink into free-standing hammocks and beanbags between sets

And those are just a few ways that Skip is bringing the ultimate convenience to this season's live events. Skip is also raising the curtain at another Canadian summer highlight: the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival (GOCF), Canada's open-air tour of world-class comedians. Skip+ turns the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival (GOCF), into your personal VIP experience. In Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Calgary, and Vancouver, some of the key member benefits include:

• GA Level Up: Upgrade from regular GA to GA+ for the same price.
• Speedy entry: Skip the wait and breeze through with fast-track access.
• Bar VIP: Sip sooner with an exclusive Skip+ line at the bars, and extra on-site perks.

More laughs, zero line-ups, only with Skip+.

"We know how precious and fleeting summer is to Canadians, and that's why we're leaning into what Skip+ does best: giving people more of what they love, with less of the hassle," says Rachel MacAdam, Vice President of Marketing at Skip. "Whether you're singing your lungs out at Budweiser Stage, watching an iconic headliner perform at OSHEAGA, or belly-laughing at the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, Skip+ catapults you past the line and straight into the fun."
