Bell Centre

About this venue

Bell Centre puts Canadiens hockey and major concerts beside Montréal’s downtown rail network; travel light because there is no coat check for stored items.

Tricolore Sports by Lucien-L'Allier

The main Tricolore Sports shop is beside the Lucien-L'Allier station at the corner of Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montreal and de la Montagne.
On Canadiens game nights, ticketed fans can also enter the store from inside near Section 113.
The outdoor entrance closes before puck drop, so use the arena-side entrance once inside.

Getting thereMétro / commuter rail to Lucien-L’Allier

Localtime

When to arrive

Match your ticket to Bell Centre’s separate 100-, 200- and 300-level maps before arrival; the currently linked diagrams retain their 2025–26 season. The plans orient the building around Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Rue de la Montagne, Place des Canadiens and Rue Saint-Antoine Ouest. For La Voûte CIBC, the venue identifies a dedicated Place des Canadiens entrance beside the Guy Lafleur statue, elevators at Section 119 and parking elevators by columns A-107 and B-107. Confirm that access applies to your ticket and event.

Transit & the journey home

Compare Lucien-L'Allier métro and commuter-rail service with nearby downtown stations, then verify the last return for the event night.

Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.

What to do: Prefer transit when practical or reserve a downtown garage with hours that extend beyond the event and an exit aligned with the trip home.
Best option: A verified downtown transit round trip or a reserved garage outside the tightest arena block
Avoid: Arriving with an item that needs coat-check storage or selecting a concert seat from hockey-only section assumptions

Seating & atmosphere notes

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

Downtown rail access is a strength, but event crowds and street activity make the post-event route as important as arrival.

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The steep multi-level hockey bowl becomes a different room for end-stage or floor concerts; use the current map and production notes.

Positive

Event-day character

Canadiens games deliver one of hockey's most tradition-rich arena crowds, while concerts use the same central Montréal location at full scale.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

The experience

Best for: Canadiens hockey and major arena tours in a dense, transit-connected downtown setting
Watch out for: Bell Centre screens guests electronically at entrances and does not offer a coat-check service for storing items. Smoking and vaping are prohibited inside. During concerts, the venue identifies floor-level bar, concession and restroom access at La Voûte CIBC for floor ticket holders; bar and concession availability can vary by event. Hockey uses a different premium experience. Guided tours are separately booked, and the dressing-room photo does not promise access with a normal event ticket. The interactive hockey viewer uses rendered views; concert production can differ.

Sources & review

Why It Works

✓Several downtown transit options reduce dependence on driving.
✓The building is purpose-built for major hockey atmosphere.
✓Restaurants and hotels surround the arena district.

Know Before You Book

×There is no coat check for items rejected at screening.
×Upper-level height and stairs deserve consideration before buying.
×Downtown garage release can be slow after a full house.
