Seating and Ticketing

Approximate capacities:

• 9,100 - Hockey
• 9,000 - End stage concert
• 3,200 - Theatre mode (smaller concert)
• 2,800 - Theatre mode (with proscenium)
• 10,200 - Centre stage concert

In addition to the standard end stage configuration for large concerts, the arena can be set up to accommodate touring Broadway shows or smaller concerts in its theatre mode. The theatre mode features a small, intimate atmosphere and a 30-line fly grid to suspend scenery or lighting and sound.

The centre features 38 luxury suites and more than 1,000 club seats.

The JLC complies with the Ontarians with Disabilities Act and has 55 per cent more public restrooms than required by the law.

The arena formerly sold tickets through Ticketmaster. On August 1, 2005, the arena switched ticketing systems and now uses an in-house system, provided by New Era Tickets (itself a subsidiary of one of the arena's partners). The arena is consistently listed in industry magazines for its high ticket sales. In late 2005, Pollstar magazine, a concert industry publication, listed the JLC as 21st on its list of top arena venues in the world, based on ticket sales for the first nine months of 2005. The three-year-old JLC attracted 189,026 concert-goers in the first nine months of 2005.
