How Much Do Tickets to Dort Financial Center Cost?

Dort Financial Center ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Flint Firebirds OHL hockey to concerts and family shows.

For Flint Firebirds hockey, tickets are typically affordable, often ranging from low double digits to the $30–$50 range for premium seats. Seat location, opponent, and demand can affect the final price, with lower-bowl and center-ice sections generally carrying higher prices than upper, corner, or end sections.

For concerts and family shows, prices vary by act and event format, with approximate ranges from $25 to $75 or more. Floor and lower-bowl seats generally cost more for high-demand performances, while upper and corner sections can provide strong value.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection, particularly for high-demand concerts and marquee hockey dates. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially when demand builds around a popular artist, matchup, or family event.
