Find Tickets

Ottawa runs 2 pro teams across NHL and CFL — the Senators (NHL) and the Redblacks (CFL). With about 41 home dates a year, the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre tend to hold the city's softest weeknight inventory — that's where seats under $50 surface most often. This page filters live listings down to tickets under $50 and sorts them cheapest-first, so the best value sits at the top. In Canada, mid-week regional games and CFL/NHL upper-bowl seats are usually the easiest sub-face-value picks, and team presales through TD, Rogers, and season-ticket-holder resale routinely beat the public on-sale.

How to find cheap sports tickets in Ottawa

Hockey seats swing hard by opponent — the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre price midweek non-rivalry games far below weekend and Original-Six matchups, so a flexible date is the surest path under $50.

Canadian football offers strong value — the Redblacks at TD Place Stadium price general-admission and end-zone seats low outside the rivalry and playoff dates.

Ottawa sports market at a glance

Ottawa carries 2 pro teams across NHL and CFL, putting about 50 home dates on the annual calendar. The overlap between seasons — especially when NHL and CFL run concurrently — splits local demand and can push prices down on the less-hyped matchups.

Canadian Tire Centre holds 18,652, keeping supply tight for Senators home games. Smaller buildings amplify demand on marquee nights, so timing and flexibility matter more when hunting for affordable seats.

When to buy: Ottawa sports calendar

The NHL season runs October through April, while CFL picks up from June through November. Ottawa buyers benefit from the overlap window when both teams play at home — that's when secondary-market competition is fiercest among sellers and price drops are most common.

What is the cheapest sport to watch live in Ottawa?

NHL games are typically the cheapest live-sports option in Ottawa. The Senators play about 41 home games per season at Canadian Tire Centre, which creates deep inventory and softer weeknight pricing. Upper-level and general-admission seats on non-marquee nights are usually the lowest-cost entry point.

Where are the cheapest seats at Canadian Tire Centre?

The most affordable sections at Canadian Tire Centre are generally the upper-level corner or baseline seats. With 18,652 total seats, there is usually enough secondary-market inventory to find options near or below face value on non-marquee dates. For premium views at a lower cost, look at upper-level center sections, which balance sightlines and price.

Are Senators or Redblacks tickets cheaper in Ottawa?

Senators (NHL) tickets are typically cheaper because the NHL has about 41 home games per season, creating more inventory and lower secondary-market floors. Redblacks (CFL) play fewer home dates (9), so supply is tighter and prices tend to run higher. Weeknight non-marquee Senators games are usually the cheapest pro-sports tickets available in Ottawa.

When do Ottawa sports ticket prices drop the most?

Prices drop most in the final 24 to 72 hours before game time, when sellers cut prices to move remaining inventory. This pattern is strongest for sports with many home dates (NHL games in Ottawa), especially on weeknights against non-contending opponents. For high-demand games like rivalry matchups and playoffs, prices often rise as the event approaches, so buying early is safer.

How can I save on game-day costs at Canadian Tire Centre?

Beyond the ticket price, the biggest game-day expenses are parking and food. OC Transpo runs game-day express bus service to the arena from park-and-ride lots; limited regular transit otherwise in suburban Kanata. Eating before you arrive and bringing a clear bag (where allowed) cuts in-stadium spending. Compare the seller, ticket details, fees and order terms before you buy; partner policies vary.

Is it safe to buy resale Ottawa sports tickets?

Review the seller shown with each listing and read its authenticity, delivery, refund and buyer-protection terms before purchase. For Senators, Redblacks games, prefer established ticket marketplaces with clear order policies; be cautious with private messages and offers that do not identify a seller.

Are there free events in Ottawa?

Yes — Ottawa hosts free fan rallies, watch parties, community sports events, and free outdoor activations throughout the year, especially around playoff runs. Team and venue social accounts announce them first, and the cheapest paid alternative is a weeknight game from this page's under-$50 list.
