The Dort Financial Center is more than an arena — it’s a classic community hub that delivers big-time shows with up-close views in Flint. From hockey nights to concerts and family spectacles, Dort Financial Center tickets put you close to the action in a venue built for energy and connection.

Opened in 1969, this multi-purpose arena was designed for flexibility and fan-friendly sightlines. Capacity ranges from 4,021 for hockey to as many as 6,500 for concerts and other large-scale productions, with a floor plan that converts quickly between ice and stage setups. Modernized lighting and sound systems pair with dedicated ice-making technology to support a full calendar of experiences.

The building’s programming spans Flint Firebirds OHL hockey, national concert tours, conventions, trade shows, and beloved family events. Over the decades, icons like KISS, Bob Seger, Elton John, Aerosmith, and Alice Cooper have lit up the stage, alongside crowd favorites like WWE Live, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Disney on Ice. It’s a venue where regional pride meets marquee entertainment.

Beyond its legacy, the arena stands out for intimate sightlines that make even upper sections feel connected to the performance. Its multipurpose design supports a mix of reserved bowl seating and flexible floor configurations, so events can scale from local showcases to high-energy touring productions — always with a clear view and crisp sound.

Whether you’re here for a Firebirds showdown or a blockbuster concert, the Dort Financial Center is a comfortable, convenient place to experience live entertainment — with the kind of atmosphere that keeps you coming back.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Dort Financial Center

3501 Lapeer Road

Flint, Michigan 48503

Located in Flint — approximately 65 miles northwest of Detroit — the arena is convenient for fans across Genesee County and beyond. It sits along Lapeer Road with easy access to surface parking and local roads.

Parking: On-site parking available in large surface lots adjacent to the arena; parking fees may apply (typically $5–$10). Arrive early for the best spots.
Public Transit: Served by MTA Flint bus routes; the nearest stop is within walking distance.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. Early arrival helps you secure a good parking spot, breeze through security, and get settled before puck drop or showtime. If you’re using public transit or rideshare, aim for the earlier side of that window to account for traffic and lines.

Events here are indoors — weather isn’t typically a concern for entry — and the walk from the parking lots is short and on flat terrain. That said, the arena can get lively at peak times, so arriving early minimizes congestion and gives you time to grab concessions or merchandise.

Cell service is generally reliable, but during large events networks can get congested. Download your mobile tickets ahead of time and have them ready at the gate. If you’re meeting a group, pick a clear rally point like the main entrance or your section number to make linking up easy.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s layout is straightforward, with a bowl of numbered sections encircling the rink or event floor and additional floor sections added for concerts. Suites and club seating offer elevated vantage points, accessible via ramps and an elevator to the suite level.

Concessions are located throughout the concourses, serving classic arena fare along with select local Michigan craft beers and specialty snacks. You’ll also find team and event merchandise at permanent and pop-up stands, plus family restrooms, baby changing stations, and on-site ATMs for convenience. If you plan to explore the concourse between periods or sets, comfortable footwear makes it easier to move around and check out different amenities.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Clear bags only, maximum size 12"x6"x12"; small clutches allowed.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food/drink, large bags, professional cameras, selfie sticks, laser pointers, and noisemakers.
Re-entry Policy: No re-entry allowed once ticket is scanned.
Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities.

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.
Use the designated rideshare zones by the main entrance for quick pickup after the event.
For the best view-to-price match, compare sections using the Dort Financial Center seating chart before you finalize your purchase.

Pre-Event Planning

If you like to make a night of it, arrive early and enjoy nearby dining before heading in. With indoor events and flat, close-in parking, it’s easy to time your arrival to grab concessions, find your section, and settle in without rushing. There aren’t notable exterior displays or sunset views to plan around, though you may see special event lighting on concert nights.

Groups can coordinate by choosing a clear meeting spot — the main entrance or your section assignment works well — and by sharing tickets in advance so everyone can scan in smoothly. For bigger parties, suites and club seating offer a convenient hub with added comfort.

Want to dial in your vantage point? Use Ticket Purchase’s interactive map and the Dort Financial Center seating chart to compare sections, views, and prices. You’ll see how configurations shift between hockey, end-stage concerts, and floor-heavy shows, so you can pick the perfect angle for your night.

Accessibility

Dort Financial Center is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking near the main entrance, accessible seating available in multiple locations throughout the arena, ramps for concourse access, and elevator service to the suite level. Assistive listening devices are available upon request to support guests with hearing needs.

If you need mobility assistance beyond these services, contact the venue for arrangements — availability may vary. For help choosing accessible seating that fits your view and budget, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving classic arena favorites — hot dogs, pizza, nachos, popcorn, and more — along with specialty snacks at select stands. Beverage options include soft drinks, water, and a selection of local Michigan craft beers.

Concession stands are positioned across the concourses, so you can refuel without missing much of the action. Lines tend to move quickly outside of intermissions and breaks, so consider grabbing your favorites as soon as you arrive.
