FAQ
What time do the Bell Centre doors open for a Canadiens game?
See the top of this page for the exact time doors open for the upcoming Canadiens home game. Bell Centre doors generally open 90 minutes before the start of the game (and 2 hours before on FANatic Saturdays) unless otherwise noted.
Can I attend the team’s morning skate?
No. The team’s game day skates are held at the Bell Centre and are closed to the public, with access reserved for accredited media. However, home practices on non-game days are typically held at the CN Sports Complex and are open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Does my young child require a ticket to attend a Canadiens game?
Children under the age of 24 months can enter the Bell Centre for free, but they must sit on the lap of the accompanying adult. Please note that if asked, you will have to show a piece of identification proving the age of the child. From the age of 24 months and up, children must have a ticket in their possession and must sit in their own seat.
Can I enter the Bell Centre with a backpack?
No. Backpacks, coolers and sports bags of any size are prohibited at the Bell Centre. Fans arriving with a backpack can reserve a smart locker to store their belongings before entering the arena by visiting the LockEtGo website. Lockers are available to rent on a first-come, first-served basis, and are located in the corridor connecting the Lucien-L'Allier train station to Tour Deloitte.
How can I have a message displayed on the scoreboard during a Canadiens game?
Scoreboard messages are an original way to send wishes someone’s way during a Canadiens game, and are booked through the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation website for a fee. All proceeds from scoreboard message reservations benefit the Foundation’s goal to encourage a healthy lifestyle among underprivileged Quebec youth. Note that marriage proposals are not eligible for display on the scoreboard.
How can I meet Youppi! during a Canadiens game?
Youppi! has a busy, ever-changing schedule on game nights, but the Canadiens mascot will typically pass through Chez Youppi!, located in Section 105, at least once during a game.
