Introducing Straight Insiders

The Georgia Straight has almost always been free—in print, online, and in your inbox. That’s part of what’s made it special: a trusted, independent voice that anyone can access.

But the media landscape has changed. To keep doing what we do—and to do it better—we’re launching something new: Straight Insiders, our first-ever membership program.

As a Straight Insider, you’ll unlock:

• Free tickets and VIP draws for concerts, festivals, and local experiences

• Local perks like free desserts, drink discounts, and secret menu items at featured restaurants

• Chances to win Straight gear like sweaters, mugs, and more

• Access to 55 years of iconic Straight stories and archives

If you sign up today, you get first dibs on:

• Tickets to see EDM duo Icarus—TOMORROW—at the Biltmore Cabaret, thanks to our friends at MRG Group

• Limited tickets to Vancouver Folk Music Festival, happening July 18–20

• Entry to win two general admission tickets to the sold-out Brewery & The Beast festival on July 27

• Entry to win a $50 gift card to Sequoia Company restaurants

• Another entry to win a $50 gift card to Richmond high-end steakhouse House of Dawn

• Upcoming delicious deals at Loam Bistro, Desi Indian Lounge, Kinton Ramen, Bae Side, B House, and more

To be clear, the Straight you know and love will always be free. This is something extra, to say thank you to those who are helping support us.

This is just the start. More perks, more access, more reasons to love your city.

Join today as a founding Straight Insider and help us write the next chapter for Vancouver’s independent voice.
