Taylor Swift Vancouver tour: Thousands raised for charities with auctioned tickets

As Vancouver residents and visitors get ready to welcome Taylor Swift to town early next month, there is another bright side to her Eras Tour - benefiting local charities.

“It has been huge,” Fred Lee, a Vancouver-based host and auctioneer told Global News. “I think since the start of the charitable season this fall we have seen so many charities benefit from tickets that were donated, courtesy of BC Place, the hosts of the three concerts and their community initiative.” Durriya Rehan, owner of Fine Finds Boutique on Mainland Street in Vancouver said small businesses are going to benefit as well.
