Rate your seatsThe most common seating layout at Bell Centre for concerts is an end-stage setup with the stage located near sections Section 104, Section 105 and Section 106. For many concerts there are also slight variations to the layout, which may include General Admission seats, fan pits and B-stages.
On the Floor: Floor is Floor Seats, which offer some of the closest views of the performers. For many concerts, floor sections are added or removed. These performer-specific adjustments may alter the floor layout and the views from each floor section.
To the Side of the Stage: For close views of the stage with a little bit of elevation, consider seats to the side of the stage in Section 101, Section 102 and Section 112. The view is not head-on like on the floor, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.
Head-on to the Stage: Seats directly across from the stage, like those in Section 118, Section 119, Section 120 and Section 218 provide the most comfortable looks of the performance.
Even upper level sections offer unobstructed sitelines. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to see as much detail from these seats as you would if you sat closer to the stage.
Seats behind the stage are occassionally sold: Unless your main objective is to just get in the building, you'll want to completely avoid anything behind the stage - like those in/near or above sections Section 104, Section 105, Section 106 and Section 107. It's unlikely the performer will turn around to salute you - and you're more likely to be completely blocked out from seeing the show.
If you're on the shorter side (or bringing kids), consider floor seats only in the first few rows: The most common complaint amongst floor ticketholders is that they can't see the stage because of taller people in front of them. As an alternative, consider side sections near the stage that will still have you close and high enough to see.
Lower level side sections are not created equal: While the side sections closest to the stage are top-notch, side sections farther from the stage may leave you with a cramp in your neck. Sections 114 and 124 are not well-angled towards the stage - leaving you to turn your head for an ideal view. Instead, consider head-on sections in the lower level or even close side seats in the upper level like 402 and 418.

At the very top of the upper seating tier, 400 level sections have the furthest views available at the Bell Centre. Sitting in the center sections helps to minimize the impact of the distance, as both nets can be seen without wishing the action would stay at just one end. Given the far distance, these sections are a great option for fans seeking out cheap Canadiens tickets with a traditional viewing angle.
Sections in this location have just 4 lettered rows of seats, running from Row A at the front and ending in Row D at the back.
Being at the top of the highest seating tier and tucked in the corners gives these sections some of the least desirable views for a Canadiens game. But for fans just looking for the cheapest ticket available, these sections will be a great place to look.
Canadiens supporters will just want to be sure to stay at the west corners to ensure a better view of the net where the Habs shoot twice. Regardless of the end you sit on, you'll find just four rows (labeled A-D) in each section.
Sitting behind the nets at the highest and furthest seating position will provide adequate views of the near goal, but it will be a struggle to follow the puck as it moves to the opposite end of the ice.
Behind the west goal, 400 level sections are also known as the Family Zone where tickets for children can be purchased at a reduced price. Behind the east Goal on the 400 level is the Molson EX Zone, which features an energetic atmosphere and a stage for live music performances.
Watch the game from the perspective of a goalie when you sit behind the net on the lower level of the Bell Centre. The seats are positioned close to the ice for exciting views, but with less elevation above the playing surface, it can be difficult to see the action at the opposite net.
Sections here have up to 29 lettered rows of seats, with double lettered rows closer to the glass and single lettered rows closer to the back of the section. Fans in the front rows have exciting views close to all the action, but are furthest from the entry tunnels located near the top of the section (just above seating Row M).
Corner seating on the lower tier keeps fans close to the ice, with a view that combines a traditional side perspective and a behind the net placement. Montreal supporters will want to be in the west corners (Sections 115-117 and 121-123) where they can enjoy watching the action at the net where the Canadiens shoot twice.
Sections in this location have up to 29 lettered rows of seating in each, with the double lettered rows closer to the glass, and the single lettered rows closer to the top of the sections. Entry tunnels are located near the top of the sections, just above Row M.
Lower level center seating is the place to be for fans that want the absolute best views for a Canadiens game. With great sight lines to both nets and close proximity to the ice, tickets in this area come with a higher price tag, especially in Sections 101 and 102 where fans can sit directly behind the Canadiens player bench.
Sections in this location have up to 29 lettered rows of seating, with the double lettered rows located at the front of the section, and single lettered rows at the back.
Platinum seats are located at the front of the lower level sections, with Prestige seats located in the middle, and Red seats at the back.
Suites at the Bell Centre can be found on multiple levels and in multiple sizes. Most suites are on the 3rd or 5th floor of the arena and can hold 12, 36 or 40 guests. Other suites include the Lofts, which hold 20 guests.
When purchasing tickets here, carefully read the seller notes on the ticket listing or on the checkout page for a description of where your suite is located and if you are purchasing a single ticket in a suite or the entire box.
The 300 level seats are located on the highest seating tier of the Bell Centre, featuring some of the furthest views down to the ice. The 400 level sections are located just above and are the only seats that have a more distant view of the action.
Center sections help keep fans more involved in the action at this seating height, as each net is not significantly farther from the other. Opt for seats in Section 319 for the best views as fans will be directly on the center line and looking down head-on to the player benches.
Corner seats on the 300 level do not have the same desirable views as the sections closer to the center line, but with the lesser view also comes a more affordable ticket price for fans that just want to get in the door.
Sections in this location have 10 lettered rows of seats, with double lettered rows located in front (Rows AA-FF), and single lettered rows in back (Rows A-F).
White ring seating is located at the front of the 300 level sections, while Grey ring seating is located at the back.
Habs faithful will want to be in Sections 321-325 and 331-335 to be nearest to the net where the home team shoots twice.
As with the other 300 level seating locations, behind the net seats on this tier of the Bell Centre provide further more aerial views of the game. Plays at the near net will be easily visible, however it may be a struggle to follow the puck as it moves down to the far net.
Watch the Habs attack twice in Sections 326-330, or opt for Sections 308-312 if you're supporting the visiting team.
Sections in this location have 10 lettered rows of seats, with double lettered rows located closer to the front, and single lettered rows located at the back.
