Your Ultimate Guide to CNE Place Seating & Event Experience

The Canadian National Exhibition Place (CNE) is Toronto’s premier multi-venue event hub, hosting concerts, sports, and exhibitions. Understanding its seating chart ensures you get the best experience for any event, whether it’s a high-energy concert or a thrilling sports game.

Seating Chart Overview

Main Floor (Sections 100-200): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts but may have limited elevation for sports.

Lower Bowl (Sections 300-400): Balanced view with moderate elevation—great for both concerts and games.

Upper Bowl (Sections 500-600): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view, though farther from the stage/field.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center-floor (Sections 100-150) or lower bowl (Sections 300-350) for unobstructed sightlines.
• Sports: Sideline seats (Sections 300-400) offer optimal gameplay visibility.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower sections provide intimacy but may have limited elevation. Upper sections offer a broader perspective but can feel distant. Avoid extreme side sections (e.g., 200/600) for skewed views.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges with premium catering and dedicated entrances.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating available in all sections; request early.

Pro Tips

• Use 3D seat maps to preview your view before buying.
• For budget tickets, upper-center sections (500s) offer the best value.
