- Official parking & directions (opens in a new tab)Théâtre Beanfield: getting here and box officeThe current getting-here page emphasizes transit and the designated Lyft zone rather than an on-site event lot. If driving, choose a paid public facility before leaving and do not mistake the rear technical loading area in the venue rider for event parking.

- Arrive
- Use the event's published door time if you already have a ticket. The venue box office opens three hours before the event, which is useful for in-person ticket help, but it is not the same as audience doors.
- Getting there
- Lionel-Groulx is the métro reference published with the venue by Tourisme Montréal. Plan the final walk along Notre-Dame West and check the late return; rideshare users have a designated Lyft pickup and drop-off zone directly in front of the theatre.

Need to Know
- Best for
- Concertgoers who want a sub-1,000-person room with a historic proscenium, plus the choice between an energetic standing floor and an elevated assigned balcony when the show offers both.
- Watch out for
- The ticket format changes the room substantially: maximum standing capacity is 950, the auditorium seats 589, and the cabaret plan holds 513. Do not assume a balcony ticket is available—or that the parterre is seated—without reading the current event map.
- Good arrival window
- Use the event's published door time if you already have a ticket. The venue box office opens three hours before the event, which is useful for in-person ticket help, but it is not the same as audience doors.
- Main transit note
- Lionel-Groulx is the métro reference published with the venue by Tourisme Montréal. Plan the final walk along Notre-Dame West and check the late return; rideshare users have a designated Lyft pickup and drop-off zone directly in front of the theatre.

Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)High without a preselected paid facility
- What to do
- The current getting-here page emphasizes transit and the designated Lyft zone rather than an on-site event lot. If driving, choose a paid public facility before leaving and do not mistake the rear technical loading area in the venue rider for event parking.
- Best option
- Lionel-Groulx métro for a parking-free trip, or the designated Lyft zone at 2490 Notre-Dame West when door-to-door pickup is more important
- Avoid
- Circling Notre-Dame West at door time or treating the venue's rear production access off the Fauteux alley as public event parking

Why this room stands out
- ✓A preserved 1912 theatre interior and arched façade give the concert a distinct setting before the performance starts.
- ✓The 303-seat balcony offers an elevated alternative when a standing-floor show includes reserved balcony inventory.
- ✓At no more than 950 standing patrons, the room keeps touring artists much closer than Montréal's arena venues.

Check the configuration
- ×A 950-person standing show and a 589-seat auditorium show are different buying decisions; old photos or maps may depict the wrong parterre layout.
- ×The venue's public directions do not identify a visitor lot, so drivers need to select their own current paid-parking option.
- ×The balcony edge is about 28 feet from the front of the stage; buyers prioritizing proximity should compare that elevated view with the show-specific floor setup.

Editorial verdict
FanProof Takeaway
Reviewed 8.8.26
Check whether the current show uses a standing, auditorium, or cabaret plan, then choose the floor for proximity or the balcony for an assigned elevated view. Use Lionel-Groulx or the designated front-door rideshare zone rather than arriving without a parking plan.
