Sandman Centre Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Spots for Every Event

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Kamloops' Premier Arena

The Sandman Centre is Kamloops' premier multi-purpose arena, hosting everything from WHL hockey games to concerts and family shows. With a capacity of 5,500, this intimate venue offers great sightlines from nearly every seat—but some sections deliver better experiences than others. Here's how to navigate the Sandman Centre seating chart for your next event.

Sandman Centre Seating Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 101-108): Closest to the action, ideal for hockey and concerts. Rows 1-10 may have glass obstructions for hockey but unbeatable energy.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201-208): Elevated views perfect for seeing plays develop. Steeper angle means no overhang obstructions.
• Center Ice/Stage (Sections 104-105, 204-205): Premium sightlines straight onto the ice or stage, often highest demand.
• End Zones (Sections 101,108,201,208): Budget-friendly with good views but extreme angles for some events.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Hockey: Rows 15-20 in Upper Bowl for complete ice visibility
• Concerts: Lower Bowl center, sections 104-105 rows 5-15
• Family Shows: Lower Bowl sides for easy aisle access
