Canadian Tire Centre accessibility guide

Canadian Tire Centre does something most arenas do not: its Molson Canadian Fan Deck, between sections 214 and 216, is premium seating that anyone may buy through Ticketmaster rather than a membership-gated room. It sells two formats there — Bar Top Loges, private four-person table-tops available on half and full season packages, and VIP Seats in leather in sections 214-216. Alongside it the arena runs Club Bell, the Brookstreet Lounge and The Loft. Prices are Canadian dollars.

Tips & Fan Reports

Prices at Canadian Tire Centre are in Canadian dollars.

VYT Research

For hockey the upper bowl at centre ice shows you more of the game than the glass does, at a fraction of the price.

VYT Research

The Molson Fan Deck is premium seating anyone can buy through Ticketmaster rather than a membership-gated room — unusual, and worth knowing if you want the atmosphere without a season commitment.

VYT Research

Within it, Bar Top Loges are four-person table-tops sold on half or full season packages, while VIP Seats in sections 214-216 are sold individually.

Where to Sit

Every tier in the building, what it costs, and what you give up to sit there.

Club / Glass Seats

C$190 - C$650+

Most expensive tier

Behind the boards at ice level, with club access attached.

Pros

  • The players are physically at your eye line
  • Club access behind the seats rather than the general concourse

Cons

  • The most expensive Senators ticket
  • You see the least of the game from behind the glass

Molson Fan Deck (Sections 214-216)

C$90 - C$260

Between sections 214 and 216, in a social premium space overlooking the bowl.

Pros

  • Anyone is welcome — sold through Ticketmaster rather than gated behind a membership, which is rare for a premium deck
  • Bar Top Loges are private four-person table-tops, on half or full season packages
  • VIP Seats in the same sections carry leather seating

Cons

  • A social space, so not the place to watch quietly
  • Three sections only

Club Bell

C$150 - C$450+

One of the arena's named club spaces.

Pros

  • A distinct club room rather than a share of the concourse
  • Part of the arena's established premium set

Cons

  • Confirm what seats the ticket carries

Brookstreet Lounge

C$130 - C$400+

A named lounge within Canadian Tire Centre.

Pros

  • A separate room from Club Bell and The Loft
  • Lounge seating rather than a row in the bowl

Cons

  • A lounge as much as a sightline
  • Check the inclusions before buying

The Loft

C$120 - C$380+

A loft-style premium space in the arena.

Pros

  • Loft format rather than fixed rows
  • One of four distinct premium rooms here

Cons

  • Check the sightline the ticket carries

Lower Bowl Sideline (100-Level)

C$105 - C$280

Pros

  • The best all-round hockey sightline in the arena
  • High enough to see over the boards, close enough to follow the puck

Cons

  • Play tight to the near boards is hidden below you

Lower Bowl End Zone (100-Level)

C$65 - C$180

Pros

  • The best angle on a power play working the near zone

Cons

  • The Senators attack this end twice in three periods
  • Cross-ice passing is hard to read end-on

Upper Bowl Center (300-Level)

C$45 - C$140

The upper ring at centre ice, with the whole sheet in one frame.

Pros

  • For hockey this is the best value in the building
  • Centre ice, so neither end is favoured

Cons

  • A long way above the ice

Upper Bowl (300-Level)

C$20 - C$70

Cheapest tier

The upper ring away from centre, over the ends and corners.

Pros

  • The cheapest Senators ticket
  • The clearest view of a breakout developing

Cons

  • The furthest seats from the ice
  • Corner and end positions foreshorten the near zone

Ottawa Senators Seat Comfort

These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
