When to arrive

Place Bell is beside Montmorency station on the Orange Line. For a Montréal–Laval metro journey, the Victoire guide specifies an All Modes AB ticket; check elevator status with STM before travelling if you need step-free access. The venue lists paid interior parking and several nearby alternatives, so check the current parking option before driving. For Montréal Victoire games, gates open 90 minutes before the game and seating opens 60 minutes before; confirm your specific event’s times. Compare your ticket with the separate 100-, 200- and suite-level maps.

Transit & the journey home

Take Montréal métro's Orange Line to Montmorency, directly beside Place Bell. De la Concorde is another nearby station, but Montmorency is the venue's principal transit anchor; buy the return fare before the event to avoid post-show queues.

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

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

For Rocket games, tickets use a rotating mobile barcode and screenshots are invalid; add the ticket to a phone wallet before arrival. The team permits only small personal bags or purses up to 10 × 8 × 6 inches for its games and recommends leaving bags at home.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The main amphitheatre map separates Floor, Level 100, Level 200, and Luxury Suites. Hockey uses the NHL-size rink at the centre of the 10,000-seat room; concert floor and stage layouts change the value of end and side sections.

03

Positive

Event-day character

Rocket and Victoire games use the main professional arena, while the adjacent Olympic-size and community rinks serve separate programs. That multi-rink footprint makes checking the event room and entrance more important than at a single-bowl arena.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

The experience

  • Best for: AHL or PWHL hockey and arena concerts with Montmorency métro immediately beside the complex and a ticket matched to the main amphitheatre map.
  • Watch out for: The current Montréal Victoire FAQ says Place Bell does not admit backpacks or bags larger than a handbag or briefcase, and offers no bag check. Allow time for security screening and confirm any event-specific restrictions before travelling. For Victoire games, personal signs are not allowed; an in-arena sign-making area is provided between Sections 111 and 112. The combined venue map still carries its 2025–26 season. It is a reference diagram; your event’s floor, stage and open sections can differ.
Sources & review

Why it works

  • ✓Montmorency métro sits directly beside the venue, giving Place Bell a clear rapid-transit arrival despite its suburban location.
  • ✓The main 10,000-seat amphitheatre has both 100- and 200-level seating, suites, and a configurable floor for concerts.
  • ✓The official accessibility guide addresses both mobility limitations and autistic visitors, while the venue publishes level-by-level maps before arrival.

Know before you book

  • ×The Place Bell name covers three separate ice venues, so a visitor following only the complex address can still arrive without the correct room or entrance plan.
  • ×Rocket mobile tickets use a changing barcode; screenshots do not work at entry.
  • ×The 700-space on-site garage is only one of several nearby facilities, and each surrounding lot has its own walk, entrance, and payment arrangement.
