How the hall works
The Molson Canadian Centre, the concert venue at Casino New Brunswick, shares the complex with a hotel and the casino floor. Its tickets are sold by one authorised seller, Ticketmaster, and the venue warns that tickets bought elsewhere may be fraudulent. The venue suggests buying ahead; its box office is open on select weekdays and from 90 minutes before showtime.
Shows are open to every age unless the ticket information says otherwise. Children up to 24 months come in without a ticket, on an adult's lap. Older children need a ticket for a seat and must come with an adult. Accessible seats are bought on Ticketmaster, and their place in the hall changes from show to show.

…
- Leave Route 2 at exit 450 (Magnetic Hill) for 21 Casino Drive; parking on site is free.
- Box office: selling from 90 minutes before showtime.
- Arrive early: entry lines and security checks take time. Tickets work by Mobile Entry on the phone.
- No bags, backpacks, cameras or outside food and drink. The hall has no coat check.
- Re-entry is allowed during the show.
- After the show the casino floor is 19+ with photo ID, until 2 AM or 3 AM depending on the night.
The venue asks people to arrive early. Entry lines and security checks take time, and coming at showtime can mean missing part of the show. Tickets work through Mobile Entry, with the phone as the ticket, so the venue suggests saving them to the phone before the event.
A guest may leave the hall and come back in. During the show, aisles stay clear: no standing, sitting or dancing in them. The show-night page goes through each of these rules in more detail.
What stays in the car
Bags and backpacks are not allowed into shows, so they stay in the car.
Cameras, drones and recording devices are also kept out of the hall.
Outside food and drink, water included, cannot come in, and water is sold at the bars inside.
The hall has no coat check, but the casino's coat check takes coats when it has room, at no charge for Rewards Club members.
Exit 450 and the lot
Drivers on the Trans-Canada Highway, Route 2, leave at exit 450, the Magnetic Hill exit. Parking at the site is free, and there is plenty of it. No shuttle or bus route to Casino Drive is published.

Directions in Google MapsThe floor before and after
Entry to the casino floor requires age 19 or more and valid government photo ID, for example a provincial ID card, a passport or a driver's licence. A guest who appears under 30 may be asked for another piece of ID, such as a credit or debit card or a provincial health card.
Slot machines run from 10 AM, table games from 2 PM. Neither runs around the clock: both close at 2 AM after Sunday to Thursday, and at 3 AM after Friday or Saturday. Poker is dealt Thursday to Saturday from 6 PM. Holiday hours are not published, and 506-859-7770 is the line for checking. In the pedway to the Molson Canadian Centre, the Responsible Gaming Information Centre (506-861-4699) explains Voluntary Self-Exclusion and handles enrolment.
ALC.ca and this page's ads
For online play, New Brunswick recognises one platform as both legal and regulated: ALC.ca. Atlantic Lottery, owned by the four Atlantic provinces, runs it with Digital Instants, iBingo and iCasino. In its view, other online gambling sites may not legally operate or advertise in Atlantic Canada, whatever overseas licence they cite. Private online operators have no provincial licence to apply for.
Every paid link on this page carries an Ad label and leads to a single private online casino partner that pays the guide. That partner is not named, since it can change, and the guide does not stand behind it.

Questions from the lobby
For a show starting at 7:30 PM, when can tickets be bought at the hall?
At 6 PM: the Molson Canadian Centre window starts selling 90 minutes ahead of a 7:30 PM start. It also opens on select weekdays, and the venue suggests buying ahead through Ticketmaster, the one authorised seller.
A teenager under 19 holds a concert ticket: can the evening continue on the casino floor?
The concert is fine, since shows are open to every age unless the ticket information says otherwise, though a child with a seat must come with an adult. The casino floor stays closed to them. Under Great Canadian's family policy, nobody under 19 enters a gaming floor.
Does the Molson Canadian Centre take coats?
The hall has no coat check of its own. The casino's coat check takes coats when it has room, and Rewards Club members use it at no charge.
Which Trans-Canada exit serves Casino Drive?
Drivers on Route 2 leave at exit 450, the Magnetic Hill exit. Parking at the site costs nothing.
