MixedGate B at Brunswick and Duke is the recommended accessible entry; Gate D on Carmichael Street has an elevator, and the section map identifies the closest general gate.
02
MixedThe older multi-level bowl can feel steep, and a concert floor or end-stage setup changes the value of the same section. Select accessible inventory directly rather than assuming a standard aisle seat is step-free.
03
PositiveThe compact downtown arena produces an intimate Atlantic Canada crowd and can be paired with Argyle Street dining without a separate entertainment-district drive.
Concession stands and kiosks are cashless and accept major credit cards, debit, Apple Pay, Google Wallet and Samsung Pay. Confirm payment options for merchandise or other purchases separately. The venue lists ordinary ATMs, but no cash-to-card conversion service or terms are established.
The owner-linked guest-policy guide permits empty water bottles unless security restrictions apply, with fountains at the four corners of the concourse and mezzanine levels. The KBYG page prohibits glass bottles and coolers/thermos containers; use an empty non-glass personal bottle and confirm your event’s security rules. Outside food and beverages are prohibited; arrange medical or other necessary exceptions with info@scotiabank-centre.com before arrival.
