This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Pacific Coliseum

Pacific Coliseum is an indoor multi-purpose arena located at 100 North Renfrew Street in Vancouver, BC, on the Hastings Park grounds associated with the Pacific National Exhibition. Opened in 1968, it is owned by the City of Vancouver and operated in association with the PNE. Capacity is approximately 16,000 for concerts and typically around 15,000–16,000 for hockey, depending on the event configuration.

The arena is best known as the original NHL home of the Vancouver Canucks from 1970 until the team moved downtown in 1995. The Vancouver Giants of the WHL have also historically called the building home, and Pacific Coliseum has hosted concerts across genres, junior hockey, family shows, Memorial Cup events, and programming tied to the PNE and Hastings Park grounds.

Pacific Coliseum remains a nostalgic Vancouver landmark, with a classic late-1960s bowl surrounded by exhibition grounds, Playland, and green space. It also hosted figure skating and short-track speed skating during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, adding another major chapter to its long event history.

Location & Transportation

Pacific Coliseum is located at 100 North Renfrew Street, Vancouver, BC V5K 3N7 — on the Hastings Park and Pacific National Exhibition grounds in East Vancouver.

Driving and Parking: On-site and nearby parking is available on the PNE and Hastings Park grounds. Lots are paid and can fill before major concerts, hockey events, and large family shows, so arriving early is the best way to secure parking and reduce pre-event stress.

Transit: TransLink bus routes serve the area along Hastings Street and Renfrew Street. SkyTrain trips typically require a bus connection or transfer, so building in extra travel time helps keep the trip smooth on event nights.

Rideshare: Rideshare and taxi drop-off and pickup are available on the grounds. After large events, expect some wait time and congestion as crowds leave the arena and surrounding PNE area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is more concentrated in downtown Vancouver and along the Hastings corridor. Downtown hotels offer the widest selection, with a drive or transit connection to Pacific Coliseum.

Venue Navigation

Pacific Coliseum has a straightforward arena layout, with guests entering from the surrounding Hastings Park and PNE grounds into the concourse. Understanding the general setup before you arrive helps you move efficiently from parking, transit, or rideshare into your section.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances open onto the Hastings Park and PNE grounds. Guests approach through the surrounding exhibition grounds before entering the arena concourse.

Concourse Levels: The venue uses a classic enclosed arena bowl, with lower and upper seating levels surrounding the floor or ice surface. Concert configurations can add floor seating, while hockey layouts center the bowl around the ice.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available at Pacific Coliseum.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and staff help direct guests to sections off the concourse. The compact bowl makes navigation relatively straightforward, though large events can create heavier concourse traffic close to showtime or puck drop.

Dining Options

Inside Pacific Coliseum

Pacific Coliseum offers standard arena concessions, with alcohol typically available at events. Lines can build as showtime approaches and during intermissions or event breaks, so visiting concessions earlier in the evening can save time.

Outside the Venue — East Vancouver

Nearby dining is centered along the Hastings Street corridor in East Vancouver. During fair season and PNE programming, food offerings on the PNE grounds can also be part of the event-day experience.

Security & Policies

Pacific Coliseum maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag restrictions and size limits typically apply and vary by event. Smaller bags are generally permitted subject to search.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, and professional recording equipment. Specific prohibited items can vary by event.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is typically not permitted once you leave. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, security screening, and digital ticket verification at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed up the process at the arena entrance.

How Much Do Tickets to Pacific Coliseum Cost?

Pacific Coliseum ticket prices vary significantly 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 junior hockey games to marquee concert headliners.

For hockey and junior games, tickets are often approximately $20–$60, with pricing driven by seat location, matchup, and demand for the date.

For reserved concerts, Pacific Coliseum tickets are commonly approximately $40–$150, with prices rising for marquee headliners, premium seat locations, and high-demand nights.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for high-demand events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for popular concerts and major arena events.

Pacific Coliseum Seating Guide

Pacific Coliseum’s seating layout is worth understanding because the classic enclosed bowl changes by event type. Hockey events center the lower and upper levels around the ice, while concerts can add floor seating and stage-focused sightlines.

Best Seats at Pacific Coliseum

• Best value: Upper-level seating is typically the most affordable option, offering a full view of the arena bowl at a lower entry price.
• Closest to the action: Floor seating for concerts and lower-bowl seats nearest the stage or ice put you closest to the performance or game.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sections offer strong sightlines and proximity in the compact bowl, making them a strong choice for fans who want a balance of view, atmosphere, and access.
• General admission: Some concerts may offer floor general admission, creating a more flexible, standing-room-style experience when that setup is used.

Pacific Coliseum Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Pacific Coliseum events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the stage or court, and whether you're on the floor, in the lower level, or in the upper level — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your Pacific Coliseum Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an arena located on the Hastings Park and PNE grounds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Grounds parking and bus connections can congest before showtime, especially for major events, so give yourself extra time to park, enter, and reach your section.
• Wear the right footwear. Pacific Coliseum sits on the Hastings Park grounds, which can involve walking across the exhibition grounds to reach the entrances. Supportive shoes make that approach easier.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors, but weather exposure can be part of the walk across the outdoor grounds to and from parking, rideshare, or transit.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Bus connections along Hastings Street and Renfrew Street can be busier around major events, so leaving earlier helps offset pre-event congestion.
• Know your entrance. Looking up your section and nearest grounds entrance before arriving can speed your approach for larger events on the PNE grounds.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
