How to find tickets in Montreal
Use this Montreal hub to compare all upcoming listings, narrow by date or category, and move to mapped venue pages when the live feed has venue-level detail.
Availability in Montreal moves with demand rather than on a fixed schedule, so a date that looks sold out one week can reopen when the partner releases more inventory.
Right now Montreal listings cover music, concerts, undefined, arts & theatre — starting from a category page is usually faster than scrolling the full calendar.
Venue links appear only where an upcoming Montreal listing maps to an actual venue page — 12 qualify at the moment.

About Montreal
Montreal is North America's most European city, a French-speaking island metropolis where 17th-century stone facades meet a buzzing arts and food scene. The heart of it is Old Montreal, where cobblestone streets lead to the Gothic Revival Notre-Dame Basilica, whose deep-blue, star-studded ceiling and AURA light show leave visitors awestruck.
Along the St Lawrence River, the Old Port has been reinvented as a riverside playground, with sightseeing cruises, a giant observation wheel and the science centre drawing families and couples alike. Just inland, the Place Jacques-Cartier square hums with terraces, buskers and horse-drawn caleches.
Rising above it all is Mount Royal, the leafy hill that gives the city its name. The Kondiaronk Belvedere offers a sweeping panorama of downtown and the river, a favourite at sunset. Add the bagel-and-smoked-meat institutions of the Plateau and a calendar packed with festivals, and Montreal makes a compelling short break in any season.

Local tips for visiting Montreal
- Book Notre-Dame Basilica entry ahead and consider the evening AURA show for a different, immersive experience.
- Explore Old Montreal on foot; the cobblestones are uneven, so wear comfortable shoes.
- Time a Mount Royal visit for late afternoon to catch the city skyline glowing at sunset.
- Most locals speak both French and English, but a simple bonjour goes a long way in shops and cafes.
Frequently asked questions
What events are happening in Montreal this weekend?
See our Montreal events this weekend page for every show on sale for Saturday and Sunday, each with live ticket prices and secure partner checkout. New dates are added the moment they go on sale.
What's on in Montreal tonight?
Browse the Montreal events tonight page for today's shows with live availability and prices. If nothing is listed for tonight, the "All upcoming" listings above show the next available dates.
Are there free events in Montreal?
The listings here are ticketed events and attractions with live prices, so we can't confirm free events. For paid concerts, theatre, sports and experiences in Montreal, browse the listings above — each shows real prices before you buy.
Do I need a ticket to enter Notre-Dame Basilica?
Yes, there is an admission charge for general visits, which helps maintain the basilica. Tickets can be bought online to secure entry and skip the line, and self-guided or guided options are available. The separate evening AURA multimedia show requires its own ticket.
What is there to do at the Old Port of Montreal?
The Old Port stretches along the St Lawrence River and offers sightseeing and jet-boat cruises, the Montreal Science Centre, a tall observation wheel and seasonal activities such as skating in winter. It is an easy walk from Old Montreal's historic streets and makes a relaxed half-day.
Is Montreal a good destination if I do not speak French?
Absolutely. Montreal is officially French-speaking, but the tourism and hospitality sectors are largely bilingual, and you will have no trouble navigating attractions, restaurants and transit in English. Learning a few French greetings is appreciated and adds to the experience.
