    Amazing!!

    by lae on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    when i purchased the seats i thoguht it the stage would be a little more up front of the rink area but the seats were still pretty good. so strain from looking at a weird angle and it was pretty much front and center. i went for smashing pumpkins had a great time :)

    Pumpkins were smashing - sound was not

    by WetPantsClub on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Interpol was great and Pumpkins put on a good show. Terrible sound in our section - way too much echo. Heavier sounds just turned into a mess of distortion.

    Great concert!

    by Francis on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Great concert! I just want to mention that the only problem that I have is that they did not used the projector in the concert.

    Old stuff was great, venue was meh

    by Nice to revisit high school on 2023-09-06

    Went to see SP at Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa. The venue was disappointing for the show. We started in the 300s section near the stage... the sound was absolute garbage up there. I have videos where the sound difference there compared to 200s is actually astounding. If you ever get tickets at Canadian Tire Center, avoid the first 2 sections near the stage for the 300 level. The opening bands were ok. The Rival Sons I never heard before, and was pleasantly surprised with their performance. I could have lived without ever hearing Interpol. They literally put me to sleep. The crowd in Ottawa was super low energy the entire show. It was like watching a bunch of zombies. When we tried to get up and dance around in our seats the security people told us to sit down. 😆 Parking was a money grab at 25$, water was 9$ (because no water fountains anywhere), alcoholic drinks almost 20$... just avoid CTC for all events is the way I look at it. The SP set was pretty great and full of energy. Their stage lighting was awesome too. I don't know any of their new stuff, and personally, didn't much enjoy it... it doesn't stand up to their old music, which was 100% the reason I was there. The band brought the energy that I expected from them and was happy I can check seeing them off my bucket list.

    Bands great, sound quality terrible

    by cpj on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    The sound quality was very muddy at the 300 level of Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa (was forced to buy seats at the back of the 300s due to accessibility needs). Would likely not attend another event at this venue if the only accessible seats are in the 300 level.

    The concert was great, the event staff prickly

    by Renée on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    I loved the warm up bands. They were amazing. The Smashing Pumpkins put on a terrific show. I'm so glad they came to Ottawa. I'd go see them again. Every time I go to the Canadian Tire Centre, I encounter prickly staff. This time, I had rink-level seats and I was going down to the seats. My husband was in front of me, and two people walked down the stairs faster than me. Two ticket takers were aggressive in asking my husband for his ticket. He said my wife is jus there, and pointed at me. The two other people had their tickets shown via app. I held my phone out to the ticket taker and pointed to my husband. I was ignored, and they were still insisting on my husband showing his ticket. I had two tickets on my Ticket Master App. It was really annoying, and then when I showed them our tickets, there was still tension like "we'll catch you out next time." Also, the Canadian Tire Centre needs to provide an elevated space for people in wheelchairs to be able to see the concert. It's not fair to them to not be able to see the concert (as everyone was standing).

    Smashing Pumpkins Rocked it!

    by Ottawa Show on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    It was a great show but hard to see. Large screens for the people not in the front row would have made it much more enjoyable. The light show was also a bit blinding.

    Very good, but guest bands is the downside

    by Jun on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    The Smashing Pumpkins did really good performance. Very beautiful lightings. Great experiences. The downside is the guest band. We arrived late on purpose and skipped the first guest band performance. We though the second band Rival Sons might do better, but they didn't. There performance is very flat, nothing exciting, that totally cooled down the arena.

    Average show

    by JTC on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    The sound wasn't great especially for the opening acts, and it would have been nice if they showed the band on the screens.

    Long time coming to see the pumpkins

    by Eve on 2023-09-06Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    What a great show! I wished it had been longer, only 1 hr 35 minutes and no encore. The best part was Billie trying not to laugh while he sang when his kids were up dancing.

    Smashing Pumpkins

    by Hector on 2023-09-06Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Perfect sound, organization, easy entry. Great band. One excellent opening act (Rival Sons). The venue is clean and has a beautiful view over Toronto and the lake.

    Awful audio

    by Rock Rules on 2023-09-05Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    The outdoor venue is great in concept. Sitting at the front of section 302. Sound was just terrible making the experience suboptimal. Muffled voices, no separation, reverb... name it. Needs to improve.

    Bummer

    by DB121 on 2023-09-05Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    I arrived around 4;30 and spent an hour looking for parking. As a solo concert goer, I didn’t want to have to park a crazy distance away. Traffic got too heavy so I gave up and missed the concert.

    Exit

    by Grid on 2023-09-05Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    I love this venue, summer hasn’t happened unless I’ve seen a concert here. Security did a good job clearing away people standing in the area between the 400 and 300 seats. Thank you. BUT, it’s such a pain getting there and leaving is a nightmare. The way the crowd has to move through the narrow walkways is actually dangerous. God forbid there’s ever a stampede. And try getting an Uber (impossible) if you’re not up for trekking all the way over to the packed streetcars that move at a snail’s pace. And you have to be insane to drive and park. I dread the exit every time!!! Especially as I’m getting older. Please don’t tell me I have to start passing on my summer concerts here! Can’t some kind of better access be incorporated?
