FanProof verdictChoose seats from the event's mini, theatre, three-quarter, full, or in-the-round plan; save the mobile ticket before travelling; and use an R5 or other current Hastings Park bus unless Gate 6 parking is worth the availability risk. Arrange accessible bowl seating in advance because the floor cannot accommodate it.

Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
Pacific Coliseum is at Hastings Park in Vancouver. Save your mobile ticket to your phone’s wallet before travelling: the current PNE FAQ says the arena has no dedicated guest Wi-Fi. The closest documented parking approach is Gate 6, but accessible spaces are first-come and cannot be guaranteed. The accessible arena entrance is south Gate A; west Gate B may also open for selected events. Use the performance’s stated gate time and allow for the walk across the campus.
Transit & the journey home
Regular Hastings Park service includes the R5 Hastings RapidBus and routes 14 and 16, with routes 210 and 211 also serving the district. The direct 16 PNE Special operates only on announced Fair dates, so do not assume it runs for a standalone Coliseum event.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)High; limited PNE inventory is not guaranteed
- What to do
- The closest PNE parking is reached through Gate 6 from Renfrew Street just north of the Coliseum at Cambridge Street. Inventory is limited; payment uses EasyPark meters or supported parking apps, so allow time for a farther space or choose transit.
- Best option
- R5 or another current Hastings Park bus for the lowest parking risk; if driving, approach Gate 6 from Renfrew Street with EasyPark payment ready
- Avoid
- Assuming a PNE Fair transit shuttle or the closest Gate 6 space will be available for a separate concert or special event

Seats & views
Accessibility
Pacific Coliseum is cashless. The current PNE FAQ limits small/clear bags to 8.5 × 11 inches, with inspected medical and child-care exceptions; check the event notice for stricter rules. There is no event re-entry. Accessible viewing must be arranged before arrival, and there are no accessible positions on the event floor. In wheelchair pods, companion tickets can carry the same seat number in different rows, such as AC1 seat 4 and AC2 seat 4. Ask TicketLeader at 604-252-3700 to confirm the actual accessible/companion arrangement rather than interpreting those rows as separate pods.

Pacific Coliseum — official mini concert bowl with reserved floor
The current PNE venue-booking page links this mini-concert-bowl diagram with reserved floor seating. It shows stage orientation, bowl-section blocks and the temporary seated floor arrangement. It supplements the venue’s full, theatre, in-the-round and three-quarter configurations; it does not establish the actual stage, open sections, accessible allocation or availability for every performance.

01
MixedArrival & transportation
Add the mobile ticket to Apple or Google Wallet before reaching Hastings Park: screenshots and PDF tickets do not scan, and the arena does not provide dedicated guest Wi-Fi.
02
MixedSeat & section strategy
Start with the event's production shape, not an old hockey chart. A mini-bowl show can use only 4,200 seats, while an in-the-round event can approach 17,000; floor inventory may add temporary seats but has no wheelchair-accessible viewing.
03
PositiveEvent-day character
The building's continuous legacy-arena bowl can feel compact when curtained to the theatre or mini-bowl plan and expansive when opened in the round. Permanent seating surrounds a 56,825-square-foot event floor.

Pacific Coliseum is cashless. The current PNE FAQ limits small/clear bags to 8.5 × 11 inches, with inspected medical and child-care exceptions; check the event notice for stricter rules. There is no event re-entry. Accessible viewing must be arranged before arrival, and there are no accessible positions on the event floor. In wheelchair pods, companion tickets can carry the same seat number in different rows, such as AC1 seat 4 and AC2 seat 4.

The experience
- Best for: Arena concerts, ice shows, combat sports, and special events that use a traditional continuous bowl without the scale or downtown location of Rogers Arena.

Why the bowl works
- ✓Five published bowl plans let productions scale the same arena from an intimate 4,200-seat setup to an approximately 17,000-seat in-the-round event.
- ✓R5, routes 14 and 16, and North Shore routes 210 and 211 give Hastings Park several bus approaches.
- ✓The step-free south-door entrance opens directly onto the main concourse, where accessible and universal washrooms are available.
Plan for an older arena
- ×There is no dedicated guest Wi-Fi, and screenshots or PDF versions of mobile tickets will not work at entry.
- ×On-site parking is limited and not guaranteed; the closest documented approach is Gate 6 from Renfrew Street.
- ×Wheelchair-accessible seating is not available on the arena floor and is limited on the suite level, so accommodations must be reserved before arrival.
