Scotia Bank Arena Reviews
Rated  out of 5
 Attended the Arena for a Hans Zimmer concert from east of the GTA.
First comment is the ease of access via public transportation. In our case, we ride the Go Train to Union Station and simply walked the few feet to the event.
Very user friendly on where to enter.  Staff were very friendly and supportive. Security check was through and profession at entry as well.
Seating area was in a private booth, so yes, very accommodating and supportive.
Washroom facilities were very close and clean.
Overall a great experience and the arena acoustics absolutely supported the concert.

 Awesome sports arena for hockey (ice), basketball and concerts. The local sports fan ensures an electric atmosphere. The organisers and staff are very friendly and helpful. I went there for a pre-season Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game with arch-rivals the Montreal Canadians... great all-round experience!

 Went for a concert and the venue is perfect for it, very well organized staff and lits of options for food and beverages that make the lineups short. The self serve kiosks are pretty amazing.
The sound was good and no matter where you had seats the visual would have been terrific. Linkin Park nearly blew the roof off the place.
Really easy access to public transit as the arena has a direct hookup to union station connecting you to via, GO or the TTC

 Overall, the experience at Scotiabank Arena was awesome – great atmosphere, energy, and facilities. It’s a fantastic venue to enjoy an event, and for the most part, our family really enjoyed being there.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of an issue with our seating. We had booked 8 tickets for the whole family with the expectation that we would be seated together in a row. However, when we arrived, there were two ladies already sitting in the middle of our row, and despite showing our tickets, they refused to move. What was even more disappointing was that the security girl nearby didn’t intervene – she simply told us to sit wherever we could find space. It felt unfair, and I honestly believe those two ladies may have been related to her. Because of that, we couldn’t sit together as a family, which was really frustrating since we had planned the evening as a group experience.
That aside, the arena itself is fantastic, and we still managed to enjoy the event. I hope management pays more attention to seating enforcement so that everyone can fully enjoy their time here.
