FAQ's - MOBILE TICKETS
What is Mobile Ticketing?
Mobile Ticketing is the safest, most convenient and flexible way to receive and manage tickets while increasing protection against fraud and lost or stolen tickets. Mobile Ticketing brings your event(s) into an account to help you manage your seats more conveniently while providing you additional distribution options.
I am viewing my tickets on a mobile web browser and I cannot see the barcode on my ticket, is this normal?
Yes! This is a new security feature this year! In App-Only is a new mobile ticket experience to encourage mobile app usage, reduce entry risk by ensuring fans have mobile tickets saved on their device, and enhance barcode security. Fans accessing the tickets on the Account Manager or Ticketmaster mobile webpage, will see the message prompting them to download the Canadiens mobile application or to save their tickets in their mobile wallet for ease of use. Fans will not be able to view their SafeTix mobile ticket through the mobile web. Safetix barcodes will be accessible in the Montreal Canadiens mobile application and the Ticketmaster mobile application 48 hours prior to the game. Plan ahead and add your tickets to your mobile wallet (Apple Wallet or Google Play) for ease of entry at the Bell Centre!
What are Safetix?
We believe that our fans deserve access to tickets that they can trust at every step. To that end, we have opted to use Safetix mobile tickets for our Montreal Canadiens games. Safetix are mobile tickets powered by a new and unique barcode that automatically refreshes every 15 seconds. This greatly reduces the risk of ticket fraud from stolen or illegal counterfeit tickets. These will live in the Montreal Canadiens mobile application and the Ticketmaster mobile application, 48 hours ahead of the game.
How can I recognize a Safetix mobile ticket?
If you take a closer look at your ticket, you may notice that it has a gliding movement, making it in a sense, alive. That movement is ticket technology actively working to safeguard the ticket holder by refreshing the barcode every 15 seconds. These will live in the Montreal Canadiens mobile application and the Ticketmaster mobile application, 48 hours ahead of the game.
What are my options for entry into the Bell Centre for a Canadiens game?
- Mobile App: Mobile tickets displayed on a mobile device using the Canadiens mobile app or Ticketmaster's mobile app
- Mobile Web Browser: Mobile version of the Montreal Canadiens Account Manager Website or Ticketmaster Website. Please note, that safetix barcodes are NOT accessible using a mobile web browser.

What is the idea behind the new feature called In App-Only Mobile Tickets?
In App-Only is a new mobile ticket experience to encourage mobile app usage, reduce entry risk by ensuring fans have mobile tickets saved on their device, and enhance barcode security.
Fans accessing the tickets on the Account Manager mobile webpage, will see the message prompting them to either download the team/Ticketmaster application or to save their tickets in their mobile wallet. Fan will not be able to view their SafeTix mobile ticket through the web, it will only be accessible starting 48 hours before the event.
Can I use a screenshot of my ticket?
No, screenshots of tickets are not valid tickets for entry. If you are the recipient of a screenshot, contact the source of the ticket and request for the valid ticket to be transferred to you. A mobile ticket must be displayed either within the app, the mobile website or within your phone's Apple/Android wallet to be provided entry.
What if my phone battery dies and my tickets are stored there?
If your phone runs out of power, you can present a valid photo ID at any Bell Centre ticket office window or station to assist you in gaining access to the arena.
How can I scan my tickets if I don't have a data plan with my phone provider?
Bell Centre offers complimentary WIFI, within the venue, so a data plan is not required to scan your tickets. You may also preload your seats to your phone (Apple Wallet - iPhone; Google Pay - Android) prior to arriving at the Bell Centre.
Can I have multiple tickets on the same phone?
Yes. Once you select a game in your account through the mobile app, you can simply swipe left and right to view all your tickets for that game. That said, we recommend you transfer your tickets to your guest(s) prior to attending the game to facilitate entry.
What if my entire party isn't with me when I'm ready to enter?
The recommendation is that you transfer each individual attendee their ticket prior to attending the game. If not, you will have to wait for your guest(s). You can transfer any ticket up to one hour after the start of the game.
I was given a PDF (print at home) ticket or screenshot to print out as my ticket. Can I use it for entry into Bell Centre?
No. You cannot use PDFs tickets or a printed-out screenshot to enter the Bell Centre. Contact the source of the ticket and request the ticket to be transferred to you in a proper manner. To avoid these situations, we recommend purchasing your tickets through our official channels via www.canadiens.com
In the Canadiens app, why do I have both a Canadiens x Ticketmaster and Club 1909? Are they not the same?
No. Your Canadiens x Ticketmaster account allows you to manage all of your tickets purchased via the Canadiens portal on Ticketmaster. The Club 1909 account is linked to our loyalty rewards program, which is also linked to the Bell Centre mobile wallet account.
