About Tribute Communities Centre

Tribute Communities Centre is a multi-purpose indoor arena located at 99 Athol St. E in downtown Oshawa, Ontario. It opened in 2006 as the General Motors Centre and was renamed Tribute Communities Centre in 2016. The venue is owned by the City of Oshawa and operated by Spectra / OVG360, with a capacity of approximately 6,100 for hockey and up to roughly 7,000 or more for concerts depending on configuration.

The arena is the home of the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League, one of the most recognizable junior hockey franchises in Canada. Beyond OHL games, Tribute Communities Centre hosts concerts across genres, comedy acts, family entertainment, ice shows, trade and community events, and regional sporting events. Its downtown location makes it a key anchor for Oshawa and the wider Durham Region live-events scene.

With lower and upper seating sections surrounding the ice or floor, plus suites and club areas, Tribute Communities Centre is known for an intimate arena feel where fans stay close to the action.

Location & Transportation

Tribute Communities Centre is located at 99 Athol St. E, Oshawa, ON L1H 1J8 — in downtown Oshawa, within the city’s urban core and near local streets, restaurants, and municipal parking options.

Driving and Parking: Tribute Communities Centre is accessible by Highway 401 and local downtown Oshawa streets. Parking is available through municipal lots, nearby surface lots, and street parking in the downtown area. Downtown lots can fill around major events, so arriving early gives you more time to park, walk to the arena, and clear entry screening.

Transit: Durham Region Transit bus routes serve downtown Oshawa, and Oshawa GO Station connects the area to the GO Transit Lakeshore East line into downtown Toronto. Local transit connections can bring guests from the GO Station area toward the arena district.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available in the downtown core near the arena. After high-attendance events, surrounding streets can become congested, so building in a little extra time after the final buzzer or encore can make pickup smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in Oshawa and across the surrounding Durham Region, including properties near Highway 401 and along the Simcoe Street and King Street corridors. Staying near downtown Oshawa offers the most direct access to the arena, while Highway 401-area hotels can be convenient for drivers.

Venue Navigation

Tribute Communities Centre has a compact indoor arena layout with a single main seating bowl, concourse-level access, and lower and upper seating sections around the ice surface or event floor. Understanding the general layout before you arrive helps you move from entry to concessions to your seats with fewer delays.

Entrances and Access: The main public entrance faces the downtown street frontage along Athol Street. Guests enter at concourse level and then move toward the seating bowl, concessions, suites, club areas, and their assigned section.

Concourse Levels: The arena uses a single main bowl with lower and upper seating sections encircling the ice or floor. Premium suites and club seating areas are part of the venue layout, giving guests options beyond standard bowl seating for select events.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, and services are provided as part of the municipally owned arena facility. Guests using accessible seating or services should plan their arrival early enough to move through screening and reach their section comfortably.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct guests from the concourse to seating sections. Because the arena bowl is compact, navigation is straightforward, but knowing your section before you reach the concourse can help you choose the right aisle and reduce backtracking.

Dining Options

Inside Tribute Communities Centre

Tribute Communities Centre offers standard arena concessions, including food, snacks, beverages, and alcohol. Suite and club areas include premium service options for guests in those sections. As with most arenas, concession lines can build close to puck drop, showtime, and intermission, so grabbing food or drinks earlier in your visit can save time.

Outside the Venue — Downtown Oshawa

Downtown Oshawa has restaurants, pubs, and cafes within walking distance of the arena, especially along King Street and Simcoe Street in the downtown core. These nearby options make it practical to plan dinner before a concert, meet friends before an Oshawa Generals game, or wait out post-event traffic before heading home.

Security & Policies

Tribute Communities Centre 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 typically apply at Tribute Communities Centre, and smaller bags are generally subject to search. Bringing only what you need and keeping your bag compact can help speed up entry.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras or recording equipment, and other items restricted under standard arena safety policies.

Entry Procedures: Digital ticket verification and security screening, including bag checks, are standard at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps you move through the arena entrance more efficiently.

How Much Do Tickets to Tribute Communities Centre Cost?

Tribute Communities Centre 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 Oshawa Generals OHL hockey to touring concerts, comedy, and family shows.

For Oshawa Generals OHL hockey, tickets are commonly in the approximate CAD $20–$40 range, with higher prices possible for playoff games, marquee matchups, and the most in-demand seat locations.

For concerts, family shows, and comedy events, tickets often fall around CAD $40–$120 or more, depending on the performer, production, day of week, seat location, and overall demand. Floor seats and lower-bowl center sections usually carry stronger demand for popular shows.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for high-demand events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections can become harder to find and prices for premium locations may rise.

Tribute Communities Centre Seating Guide

Tribute Communities Centre uses a bowl-style arena layout with lower and upper sections around the ice surface or floor, plus suites and premium seating areas. Seating can change by event type, especially for concerts where the floor may be configured for seated sections or general admission.

Best Seats at Tribute Communities Centre

• Best value: Upper-level and end sections are typically the most affordable options, giving fans a full view of the arena bowl while keeping ticket costs lower.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl rinkside sections put hockey fans nearest the ice, while floor seating brings concertgoers closest to the stage when that setup is used.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl center sections along the sides offer strong sightlines for Oshawa Generals games and balanced views for many concert configurations.
• Premium and suite options: Private suites and club or premium seating areas are available for guests who want elevated service, more privacy, or a group-friendly setting.
• For groups: Buying early helps groups find seats together in contiguous rows or sections, especially for popular concerts, family shows, playoff games, and marquee hockey dates.
• General admission: Some concerts and floor configurations may include general admission areas, giving fans a more flexible event-night experience.

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.

Getting Ready for Your Tribute Communities Centre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown arena where parking, screening, and event-night crowds can all affect timing.

• 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. Give yourself extra time for downtown parking and security screening, especially because downtown lots can fill around major events.
• Wear the right footwear. Tribute Communities Centre is an indoor arena with standard concourses and stairs to seating, so comfortable shoes make moving between your section, concessions, and exits easier.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors, but arena interiors can run cool for ice events, so a light layer is a smart choice for hockey nights and ice shows.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. If you are using GO Transit, Durham Region Transit, or downtown rideshare, leave room in your schedule for local connections and post-event street congestion.
• Know your section. The compact single-bowl layout is easy to navigate, and a quick look at your section before arriving helps you head toward the right aisle once you enter the concourse.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
