Event-day answers for Centre Vidéotron

FanProof verdictFor hockey, choose the 116–117 shoot-twice end or the 101–102 bench side intentionally; for concerts, distinguish ADG standing floor from reserved seating. Catch the single scheduled RTC shuttle or choose the ExpoCité entrance before driving, and use Door 9 for reduced-mobility access.

When to arrive

Centre Vidéotron identifies the west entrance for accessible parking arrival and Door 9 near the west entrance for STAC adapted transport. Taxi pickup is in parking area P4, east of the building in front of the Colisée. Save your Ticketmaster tickets to the app or phone wallet before arriving: screenshots, photographs and printouts are not accepted. A barcode may remain hidden until 72 hours before the event. The separate entrance-hall and ExpoCité exterior plans help you find the correct approach before consulting your seating level.

Transit & the journey home

RTC Métrobus routes 801 and 802 serve ExpoCité regularly. Event shuttles 405, 410, 430, and 450 depart once from Downtown, Lebourgneuf, Charlesbourg, and Beauport respectively; confirm the exact outbound and return details before relying on one.

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

Parking At A Glance

High; large ExpoCité lots with event traffic

What to do
Enter ExpoCité from Soumande Street or the secondary Avenue du Colisée and Wilfrid-Hamel entrance. Event parking is paid to attendants by cash or card, with current published rates of $10–$15 for Remparts games and up to $15 for other events.
Best option
An RTC event shuttle when its single departure works for the schedule, or an ExpoCité lot approached from the entrance best aligned with the trip home
Avoid
Arriving after the one scheduled event-shuttle departure or entering the ExpoCité traffic pattern without choosing between Soumande Street and Avenue du Colisée

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

Personal handbags and baby-item bags are permitted after inspection up to 14 × 12 × 6 inches; larger bags are prohibited. Door 9 by the West entrance is reserved for reduced-mobility access and sits near P1 accessible parking and the box office.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The lower bowl holds 10,010 and the upper bowl 6,940. For Remparts games, the home team attacks the Sections 116–117 end twice and its bench is near Sections 101–102; for concerts, use the Ticketmaster map because stage and floor layouts replace the hockey reference map.

03

Positive

Event-day character

The main and upper bowls create a clear distance tradeoff, while ADG concerts turn the floor into first-come standing space. The building is generally kept near 20°C, but seats closer to the ice can feel cooler during hockey and ice shows.

Inside the venueDrinking fountains available

Payment

Inside the Videotron Centre, payments are cashless using Visa, Mastercard, American Express or debit cards. ExpoCité parking is separate: the venue FAQ says attendants take cash or cards, while bus parking requires cash. Confirm current event parking terms and bring the appropriate method rather than assuming the arena’s cashless rule covers every lot.

Water & drinks

The rules prohibit outside food/drinks and all types of water bottles, including hard plastic, metal and glass containers. Food-allergy exceptions may be granted; arrange needs in advance. Drinking fountains are listed on the main concourse, including behind sections 106, 109 and 118, and on the upper concourse. Do not assume an empty-bottle exception; check your event’s current instructions.

The experience

  • Best for: Québec Remparts games and arena tours when the exact level, ExpoCité arrival route, and one-departure RTC shuttle are planned together.
  • Watch out for: Centre Vidéotron permits personal handbags and baby bags up to 14 × 12 × 6 inches, subject to inspection. The venue uses digital payments and does not allow re-entry, including for smoking. Accessible ticket sections have an A suffix, with WC/ATT row labels; book the required companion ticket together with the accessible space. The currently linked 2025 charts separate lower, upper and suite levels. Concert equipment, floor layouts and open sections can change, so compare the chart with the map attached to your actual event.
Sources & review

Why it works

  • ✓The official hockey guide identifies the Remparts' shoot-twice end and bench location, allowing a genuinely team-specific section choice.
  • ✓Four RTC event shuttles supplement regular 801 and 802 service from different parts of Québec City.
  • ✓Door 9, accessible P1 parking, eight elevators, wheelchair locations in both bowls, STAC drop-off, and wheelchair loans provide a detailed mobility plan.

Know before you book

  • ×Each event shuttle makes only one outbound departure, so missing it removes that arrival option entirely.
  • ×ADG floor tickets do not provide a seat or assigned standing position even when a seat number appears on the ticket.
  • ×There is no re-entry, including for smoking, and the arena has no designated smoking area during events.
