Seating Recommendations and Charts

Centre Georges-Vézina offers seating for approximately 4,724 guests (3,683 seated), with a traditional, intimate arena layout that brings you close to the ice and can be reconfigured for concerts and other events. With its compact design, most seats deliver strong sightlines and a lively atmosphere — perfect for hockey and community events alike. Use the Centre Georges - Vezina seating chart to compare views across hockey and concert configurations.

• Lower bowl center ice: For the best all-around view of hockey action, sit along the center ice areas in the lower bowl. You’ll see plays develop end-to-end with minimal head turning.
• Corners and ends: Prefer a more intense, up-close experience? Seats behind the goals and in the corners put you near scrums and scoring chances — great for fans who love fast-paced, physical play.
• Upper rows along the sides: The arena’s intimate scale means even upper rows feel close. Side sections higher up offer a balanced, full-ice perspective at a more budget-friendly price point.
• Concert configurations: When the floor is used for a stage, look for side seating angled toward the performance for the best sightlines. Floor setup and stage placement may vary by event, so consult the event’s specific map.

Centre Georges-Vézina

643, rue Bégin

Chicoutimi, Quebec G7H 4N7

Located in Chicoutimi, now part of Saguenay, the arena sits roughly 200 km north of Quebec City — an easy drive for regional fans making a day trip or weekend visit.

• Parking: On-site parking is available, with additional street parking nearby. Specific costs were not provided in the research.
• Public Transit: Local bus service is available in Saguenay/Chicoutimi.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Standard curbside pickup and dropoff are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. You’ll have time to park, pass security, and soak in the pre-game buzz — especially on Saguenéens game nights when the atmosphere ramps up fast. If you’re meeting friends or family, arriving early makes group coordination easier in the bustling concourse.

While the arena is indoors, winter weather in Quebec can affect travel times and parking. Give yourself extra time during snow or ice conditions, and consider a warm layer for the brief walk from parking to the entrance. Cell service is generally reliable, but it can be congested during large events, so it’s smart to download tickets in advance.

Walking distances are short and elevation is minimal from parking to the doors, making entry straightforward. If you’re using local buses, confirm schedules for late-night service after games or concerts.

Venue Navigation

The venue’s classic, compact layout keeps navigation simple. Once inside, you’ll find concession stands serving arena favorites like hot dogs, snacks, and beverages, plus select merchandise stands with team and event gear. Lines tend to move steadily thanks to the arena’s modest capacity and straightforward concourses.

Because the building retains traditional arena architecture from the late 1940s, seating sections are easy to identify and most paths lead directly back to the bowl. If you expect to move around during intermissions, comfortable footwear is a plus, but the short walking distances make getting around manageable for most guests.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Not specified in the research — check the venue or event page for the most current guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Not specified; expect standard arena restrictions such as weapons, outside food and drinks, and large bags.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

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.
• In winter, allow extra travel time for snow or ice and keep a warm layer handy for the short outdoor walk.
• If you’re attending a high-demand Saguenéens game, arrive early to enjoy the pre-game atmosphere and avoid lines.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by arriving early to explore downtown Chicoutimi’s dining scene before heading to the arena. The area offers everything from cozy cafés to lively microbreweries, giving you easy options for a pre-game meal or a celebratory post-show round. If you’re with a group, choose a meet-up spot near the entrance to streamline entry and seating.

For hockey matchups, consider your preferred vantage point: center ice for all-angles viewing, or behind the net for close-up action. The intimate capacity means you’re never far from the play, and seats fill quickly for marquee rivals — so it’s smart to buy early for the best selection and price.

If you’re traveling from Quebec City or other parts of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, build in extra time during winter months. With on-site parking and nearby street options, you’ll have flexible choices once you arrive at the venue.

Accessibility

Accessibility details were not specified in the research. Most Canadian arenas provide accessible parking and offer accessible seating; availability can vary by event and configuration, so it’s best to contact the venue directly for specifics on parking, seating, and any assistive services.

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

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving snacks, drinks, and beverages — the arena staples that pair perfectly with game night or a concert.
