About Canadian Tire Centre

Canadian Tire Centre is the Ottawa Senators' NHL home in Kanata — the west-end arena that drives a steady Canadian capital-region tour schedule.

Canadian Tire Centre has designated family zones with alcohol-restricted sections available for most events. If you need accessible seating, OnlineSeats flags ADA-friendly listings on each event page — filter by "ADA" in the seat map controls to see only compliant options.
Budget & upper level
The upper bowl at Canadian Tire Centre is where OnlineSeats customers score the deepest discounts, especially 48-72 hours before a non-marquee show. Rows higher in the upper deck actually deliver a better angle for concerts than the lower corners — something the primary market rarely tells you.
