Thanks so much for the train tips....just upgraded to business class
Always happy to contribute. Hell I've never been myself but a coworker who is in our Montreal office filled me in. I verified on their website. A quick YouTube search will show the nice seating setup.
For a 6+ hour ride... open bar alone is worth over the $30 difference. Throw in a proper meal and improved seating? No brainer
If you're looking for drinks within walking distance... There's a hockey complex called Bell Sensplex about a 5 minute walk down the road from CTC. There's a Bar/restaurant upstairs called Stanleys. usually have a local craft beer or two on tap.
Tempers are wearing thin. Let's hope some robot doesn't kill everybody.
The Palladium, er, Corel Centre, er, Scotiabank, er, Canadian Tire Centre is the worst. One road in and one road out.

Berts is a giant clusterfuck on game/show nights. too many people trying to get in there.
Is there any other place around the arena ?

I haven't been to the Kanata one although I have heard not great. I have been to the Montreal one and it was ok. It's like a chain of brewpubs and people have told me it feels a lot like a chain restaurant.
That said I think the only time I had Evergreen Ales beer is at a beer fest and I think it was good. I keep meaning to get out there but haven't had the chance.
I’ve been to 3 brasseurs in a few other cities sand it has good beer and food. Not been to the Kanata one, but the one on Sparks Street, and others are good.
I got tickets!! They are towards the back but I don't even care just happy I got some.

Can anyone comment as to the taxi/Uber/Lyft situation post show, for those of us trying to figure out how we are getting back to our hotels?
Shitshow.
If you are able to score a lift then there is the traffic jam to get onto the hwy back into the city. Think the cab ride back in 2016 was close to $50. Uber was 5X surge pricing do about double the cab ride. Waited for a good 30-40 mins to even get a cab.
That I no longer give a fuck Who is wrong and who’s right

Gotcha!! So there is a cab stand where folks line up and cabs just show up? Or do you have to call a cab specifically?

I remember we should up early afternoon and you could just park at the arena before they lock it down in preparation for the show and charging people to park. If you’re inside the lot before it’s locked down you’re fine.

The public transit (OC transpo) is pretty good to the CTC. they should have a bunch of buses (400 series) that are non-stop from downtown to CTC (and home again after show). $3.60 No waiting.
