CN Centre Concert and Event Tickets

The CN Centre is more than a multi-purpose arena — it's a community hub that brings northern British Columbia together for unforgettable nights out. Located in Prince George, the largest city in the region, it’s where fans go when they’re ready to lock in CN Centre tickets for concerts, hockey, and city-wide celebrations.

Opened in 1995 and designed by PBK Architects, the arena features a modern, flexible layout built to host a wide range of events. With a capacity of 5,971, its bowl-style seating keeps you close to the action and delivers clear sightlines from most sections, creating that intimate feel you won’t get in larger venues.

From major concerts to WHL showdowns, the CN Centre’s programming is as diverse as its audience. It’s been home to the Prince George Cougars (WHL) since opening and has welcomed stars like Elton John, Bryan Adams, Nickelback, Shania Twain, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Blue Rodeo, and Hedley — plus WHL playoff games, trade shows, family shows, and community events.

Whether you’re cheering on the Cougars or catching a bucket-list tour, the CN Centre’s comfortable scale, smart design, and friendly atmosphere make every visit a can’t-miss experience in Prince George.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time. Early arrival gives you the best selection of free parking, shorter entry lines, and time to check out concessions or merchandise. If you’re meeting friends, choose a specific entrance or section as a rendezvous point before the crowds build.

Prince George winters can affect travel and parking conditions, even though the venue itself is indoors. If you’re attending during colder months, allow extra travel time and be prepared for snow or ice in lots and on sidewalks. Cell service is generally strong, but it can get congested during packed CN Centre events — download your tickets before you head in.

Walking and elevation changes are minimal thanks to the arena’s bowl design and accessible routes, making it easy to reach your section. For a smoother entry, review the CN Centre seating chart ahead of time and confirm your gate or nearest section so you can head straight to your seats.

Venue Navigation

Once inside, you’ll find a straightforward bowl-style layout with numbered sections circling the arena. Concessions and restrooms are positioned around the concourse for quick access no matter where you’re seated, and merchandise stands typically open during major events.

ATMs are available on site, and multiple concession stands offer classic arena fare and beverages, with local beer and specialty items at select events. Elevators and ramps provide access to all levels, so guests with mobility needs can navigate comfortably. While walking is modest, comfortable footwear is always a good call for moving between the concourse, concessions, and your section.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.
Review venue policies in advance.
Give yourself extra travel time in winter weather — roads and lots can be slick.
Arrive early for free parking and shorter lines at concessions and merchandise stands.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by arriving early to explore nearby dining options in downtown Prince George before heading to the arena. With free parking at the venue and accessible entry routes, you can plan an easy arrival and still have time to enjoy pre-show food and drinks.

If you’re coordinating with a group, select a clear meeting spot in advance — such as the main entrance or a specific section on the concourse — and share tickets ahead of time to reduce delays at entry. Keeping an eye on CN Centre events and planning around expected crowds helps you avoid last-minute stress.

The CN Centre is well-lit at night and easy to access, so after the show you’ll have no trouble finding rideshare pickup zones or your parking area. If you’re attending a particularly popular event, give it a few minutes for traffic to thin as you enjoy a snack or browse the merch stands.

Accessibility

CN Centre is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking near the main entrance, designated accessible seating, and ramps and elevators to reach all levels. These features help ensure smooth entry and a comfortable experience for guests with mobility needs.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Merchandise stands are typically open during major events, so you can pick up team gear, tour apparel, or souvenirs on your way in or out. ATMs are available on site if you need cash.
