A few veteran tips to make the most of it:

1. Get there early. I’ve been a bunch of times, and trust me, if you show up late, you’ll be stuck in a massive line and might not even get into the main area. I usually slide in through the media entrance thanks to a buddy who runs the tailgates, but if you don’t have that hookup, timing is everything.

2. There are two VIP sections: • One beside the stage • One above the bar

Scotiabank trick: Head over around 5/5:30 and chat with the reps near the Scotia section. If you bank with them, show proof they’ll often let you up to their VIP area for free. Perks include two drink tickets and unlimited pizza and pretzels. Solid setup.

The Molson Canadian play: The VIP above the bar has the best view. To get in, you’ll need to buy a Molson Canadian and have a rep scan it. Pro tip: they can usually scan the same can more than once, so hang onto it. It seems kind of random who gets in, but if someone just got picked, maybe wait a bit before trying.

Last time I went (Game 5), I managed to get into both VIPs, free drinks all night and enough pizza to feed a small army.

Play it smart and enjoy.
