Great venue at Scotiabank Arena! Some 300-level escalators and stairs are currently unavailable due to construction, so plan ahead if you’re cutting it close. I went to see Benson Boone and it was an amazing show. I really liked the new self-serve areas and checkout — much quicker and easier than waiting in long lines. Still pretty pricey as always, but definitely more convenient.

Overall, the experience at Scotiabank Arena was awesome – great atmosphere, energy, and facilities. It’s a fantastic venue to enjoy an event, and for the most part, our family really enjoyed being there. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of an issue with our seating. We had booked 8 tickets for the whole family with the expectation that we would be seated together in a ro...

Visited here for ARR concert. The arena is a long drive from my place. Taking GO train is best to reach . They have multiples gates and organized the crowd so well.

As usual supply and demand the beverages , food are ...

Went for a concert and the venue is perfect for it, very well organized staff and lits of options for food and beverages that make the lineups short. The self serve kiosks are pretty amazing. The sound was good and no matter where you had seats the visual would have been terrific. Linkin Park nearly blew the roof off the place. Really easy access to public transit as the arena has a direct hooku...

Great experience. We were able to reach the stadium via the PATH so no issues with parking. There is great energy as soon as you enter. Lots of food choices including fresh BBQ sandwiches and plenty of alcohol choices. We got to our seat pretty easily. They have section attendants that help you get seated and watch over the area during the game. The lights were bright, the pulse of the music stron...
