Centre Bell Arena Venue Information

Centre Bell, located at 1909 Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Montreal, QC H4B 5G0, is a 780,000-square-foot arena that opened in 1996 as the Molson Centre before being renamed in 2002. It is the second-largest hockey arena in the world, with a capacity of 21,105 for hockey games and flexible configurations for concerts and other events, ranging from 3,000 to 21,000 seats. The arena is owned by the Molson family and features a giant jumbotron, a rolling gantry for adaptable setups, 120 luxury boxes, five restaurants, and numerous food counters. Its design, by a local consortium, includes steeply sloped grandstands for improved sightlines, making it a favorite for both sports and entertainment events.

The venue is easily accessible via public transportation, with connections to Lucien L’Allier and Bonaventure Metro stations, the underground city, and the Lucien L’Allier commuter rail terminal. It is situated near the 1250 René-Lévesque skyscraper and vibrant areas like Quartier Latin and Rue Crescent for dining and nightlife. Centre Bell has hosted performances by global stars like Celine Dion, who set a record by selling out 11 shows in under an hour, as well as artists like Taylor Swift, Elton John, and Metallica. It also hosts UFC, WWE, and NBA preseason games, making it Montreal’s primary venue for large-scale events. Renovations in 2015 added new seats, updated hallways, and enhanced dining options, ensuring a modern and comfortable experience.

Centre Bell Arena Seating Chart

Centre Bell Arena Seating Options

Centre Bell’s seating is divided into multiple levels, each offering a distinct experience depending on the event type. The arena’s layout includes the 100 Level (Reds), 200 Level (Club Desjardins), 300 Level (Whites), 400 Level (Blues), and premium options like luxury suites and VIP packages. Below is a detailed breakdown of the seating options.

Reserved Seating

Reserved seating is available for most events at Centre Bell, including hockey games, concerts, and other performances. Each ticket corresponds to a specific seat, with sections, rows, and seat numbers clearly indicated. The arena’s seating chart varies by event—hockey games use a rink-focused setup, while concerts may feature end-stage, center-stage, or half-house configurations. Seat numbering follows a standard pattern: seat 1 in a section is closest to the adjacent lower-numbered section, with an average of 16 seats per row. Interactive seating charts on platforms like Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, or TickPick allow fans to preview seat views and select their preferred location.

100 Section

The 100 Level, known as the Reds due to the red seat color, includes sections 101–124 and encircles the arena floor. These seats offer the closest views of the action, ideal for hockey games and concerts. For hockey, the best seats are in sections 101–102, 112–114, and 124, particularly rows D and above to avoid plexiglass obstructions. Platinum seats in the first row along the ice and Prestige Center Ice seats in rows AA–FF behind the benches (sections 102 and 124) include complimentary food and non-alcoholic drinks. For concerts, the 100 Level provides proximity to the stage, though floor seats may be closer for general admission setups. These seats are premium-priced, with tickets ranging from $74.70 to over $1,206.15, depending on the event.

200 Section

The 200 Level, or Club Desjardins (sections 201–224), is located between two levels of private boxes and offers elevated sightlines with premium amenities. These seats include wider chairs, free coat check, access to the Centre Bell Pub, and all-you-can-eat concessions (non-alcoholic). Club Desjardins is ideal for fans seeking a balance of comfort and excellent views, particularly for hockey games, where the elevated position provides a clear view of the entire rink. For concerts, these seats offer a great perspective of the stage without being too far from the action. Prices for Club Desjardins seats are higher than upper levels but lower than Platinum or Prestige seats, averaging around $104.42–$371.80 depending on the event.

300 Section

The 300 Level, known as the Whites (sections 301–334), is the third tier of seating and offers a panoramic view of the arena. These seats are more budget-friendly and provide a good balance of view and value. For hockey, the Whites allow fans to see the entire rink, though some seats in sections 318–320 behind the press gondola may have partially obstructed views due to the scoreboard; these sections feature smaller scoreboards on the gondola’s back. For concerts, the 300 Level provides a broad view of the stage and production, making it a solid choice for those prioritizing affordability. Ticket prices in this section typically range from $57.60 to $344.25.

400 Section

The 400 Level, or Blues (sections 401–434), is the highest tier and the most affordable seating option at Centre Bell. Despite the height, the arena’s steep grandstands ensure decent sightlines for both hockey and concerts. These seats are ideal for budget-conscious fans who still want to experience the electric atmosphere of Centre Bell. For hockey, the Blues offer a full view of the rink, while for concerts, they provide a comprehensive view of the stage and lighting effects. Tickets in the 400 Level are the cheapest, starting as low as $21.13 for some events, making them a popular choice for families and large groups.

VIP Packages

Centre Bell offers VIP packages, including private suites and executive suites, for a premium experience. Private suites, located around the arena, accommodate groups and include exclusive amenities like VIP service, catering, and private restrooms. Executive suites offer high-end luxury with similar perks, ideal for corporate events or special occasions. For hockey games, suites provide a private viewing area with excellent rink views. For concerts, suites offer a comfortable, exclusive space with great stage views. VIP packages often include access to premium lounges and priority entry. Pricing for suites varies significantly based on the event and group size, often ranging from several hundred to thousands of dollars. Contact Centre Bell directly or through Ticketmaster for availability and pricing.

Centre Bell Arena Ticket Types

Centre Bell offers a variety of ticket types to accommodate different events and preferences. Below is an overview of the main ticket categories available.

Hockey Tickets

These tickets cover seating in all levels (100–400), with premium options like Platinum and Prestige seats offering rinkside views and amenities. Prices range from $21.13 for Blue Level seats to over $1,206.15 for rinkside Platinum seats. The Canadiens bench is in front of sections 101–102, and the team shoots twice toward section 119.

Basketball Tickets

Centre Bell occasionally hosts NBA preseason games and other basketball events. These tickets follow a similar seating structure to hockey, with the 100 Level offering close-up court views and the 300–400 Levels providing more affordable options. Prices vary based on the event, but expect similar ranges to hockey tickets, starting at around $21.13 for upper levels. Basketball tickets are typically available through Ticketmaster or the box office, with resale options on platforms like Ticket Squeeze for high-demand games.

Concert Tickets

Concert tickets at Centre Bell vary depending on the artist and stage configuration (end-stage, center-stage, or half-house). Floor seats may be reserved or general admission, offering the closest stage views, while the 100–400 Levels provide seated options with varying distances from the stage. Prices range from $17 for upper-level seats (e.g., Disney On Ice) to over $8329.07 for premium floor seats for major artists like Celine Dion or Taylor Swift. Concert tickets are available through Ticketmaster, the box office, or resale platforms. High-demand shows often sell out quickly, so early purchase or resale markets are key.

VIP Packages

VIP packages include access to private suites, executive suites, or premium seating like Club Desjardins with exclusive amenities. These packages often feature catering, VIP entry, and lounge access, ideal for groups or special occasions. For concerts and hockey, VIP packages enhance the experience with luxury and convenience.

Seating Tickets

Seating tickets refer to reserved seats across all levels (100–400) for any event type, including hockey, concerts, and other performances. These tickets guarantee a specific seat, with prices varying by section and event. For example, 100 Level seats are pricier due to proximity, while 400 Level seats are the most affordable. Seating tickets are available through all ticket sources, with interactive charts helping fans choose their preferred location.

General Admission

General admission (GA) tickets are primarily offered for concerts, typically on the arena floor, allowing fans to stand close to the stage without assigned seats. GA tickets are popular for high-energy shows but may not be available for all concerts, as some use reserved floor seating. Prices vary, starting around $57.60 for some events. GA tickets are sold through Ticketmaster or resale platforms and are in high demand for major artists.

Resale Tickets

Resale tickets are available through secondary marketplaces like Ticket Squeeze, SeatGeek, or TickPick for sold-out or high-demand events. These tickets may be priced above or below face value, depending on market demand. For example, Montreal Canadiens tickets or concerts by artists like Celine Dion often appear on resale platforms.
