Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Fray concert at MTELUS in Montreal on May 13, 2026?

The May 13, 2026 show at MTELUS in Montreal is part of The Fray’s Summer of Light Tour, a full-band North American tour built around their classic catalog and new material. The event is promoted as “The Fray – Summer of Light Tour with Brother Elsey,” meaning you get both an opening set from Brother Elsey and a headlining performance from The Fray. This Montreal stop is one of the early Canadian dates following their tour opener in Moncton, so the show will feature a fresh production and tuned-up setlist. Fans can expect a full evening of piano-driven rock, big sing-along choruses, and a career-spanning selection of songs in a classic Montreal concert hall.

When is the concert and what time do doors open?

The Fray play MTELUS on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, with the concert scheduled to start at 8:00 PM. Official event details list doors opening at 6:30 PM, giving fans plenty of time to arrive, get through security, and find a good spot before the music begins. Because Brother Elsey is also on the bill, arriving soon after doors open is the best way to catch the full night, from the opener to The Fray’s headlining set. Planning to be at the venue between 6:30 and 7:15 PM usually provides a relaxed arrival with shorter lines and more choice of viewing area.

Where is MTELUS and what is the venue like?

MTELUS is located at 59 Rue Sainte-Catherine Est in downtown Montreal, a central spot that is easy to reach by metro, bus, or car. The venue is a historic theater-style hall known for hosting major touring acts across rock, pop, and electronic music, with a reputation for strong sound and lighting. It typically features a large main floor (often general admission/standing) and a balcony area, giving fans different options depending on whether they prefer to be close to the stage or seated above. Because MTELUS is mid-sized rather than arena-scale, most spots in the room feel close to the performance and immersed in the atmosphere.

Who is opening for The Fray in Montreal?

The Montreal show is advertised as “The Fray with Brother Elsey,” with Brother Elsey serving as special guest and opening act for the evening. Brother Elsey are a harmony-driven rock/folk band whose moody, atmospheric songs complement The Fray’s emotional, melodic style. Their set will start the night and warm up the crowd before The Fray take the stage for the main performance. Showing up early enough to catch Brother Elsey gives you more music for your ticket and a chance to discover a band handpicked to fit the tour’s overall vibe.

How much do tickets cost for The Fray at MTELUS?

SeatGeek listings for the May 13 show indicate that tickets start at around $74 CAD, with other options in the mid-$70s, $90s, and higher depending on section and demand. As more tickets sell, remaining seats—especially those closer to the stage or in preferred areas—can be priced higher both on primary and resale marketplaces. Some sites show multiple pricing tiers so you can choose between lower-cost spots a bit further back or more expensive locations with better sightlines. Remember that taxes and service fees are added at checkout, so the final total will be higher than the base price you see in the listings.

How can I get cheap tickets for The Fray in Montreal?

To get cheaper tickets, start with official sellers such as Evenko and AXS while face-value seats are still available, since these prices are usually lower than resale markups. Look for standard general-admission or upper-balcony options instead of premium or VIP-style sections, as these are typically the best value for money while still giving a great view in MTELUS. If primary tickets are limited, compare multiple reputable resale platforms and sort results from lowest total price, watching for seats in the $70–$90 range that still have a decent vantage point. You can further cut costs by buying early (before demand pushes prices up), going with friends to split transit or parking, and setting a firm budget so fees and add-ons do not unexpectedly inflate your spend.

Are there presale codes or special ticket offers for this show?

Presale listings show several advance opportunities for the Montreal date, including an American Express presale, Live Nation presale, and Ticketmaster presale that ran in late January 2026 before the general public on sale. The general onsale for the MTELUS show began on January 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST, giving fans without presale access a clear window to buy face-value tickets. These presale periods are designed to help fans secure good seats early, often at the same or lower prices than those available once demand increases. Radio promotions and local contests, such as ticket giveaways from Montreal station The Beat 92.5, also give some fans the chance to win free pairs of tickets.

What kind of setlist and performance can I expect on the Summer of Light Tour?

Tour and news announcements describe the Summer of Light Tour as a career-spanning show featuring The Fray’s biggest hits, including songs from albums like “How to Save a Life,” alongside newer material connected to their upcoming album “A Light That Waits.” The band are known for emotionally charged, piano- and guitar-driven arrangements that build to powerful sing-along choruses, so you can expect plenty of moments where the whole room joins in. Select dates on the tour feature special guests like Dashboard Confessional, Colony House, and The Strumbellas, with Brother Elsey joining for Montreal. In a venue like MTELUS, this translates into a polished, high-energy rock show that still feels intimate and focused on the songs.

How do I get to MTELUS and what about parking and transit?

MTELUS’s Sainte-Catherine Street location puts it in the Quartier des Spectacles, a downtown district that is well served by Montreal’s metro (notably Berri-UQAM and Saint-Laurent stations), buses, and nearby bike paths. Driving is also an option, with public parking garages and paid lots in the surrounding area, though spaces can be expensive and fill up on busy show nights. Many concertgoers prefer to use metro or rideshare to avoid the hassle of downtown parking and to make post-show travel easier. If you do drive, arriving early and identifying a nearby garage ahead of time will save you stress and reduce the chance of missing the opener.

What should I bring and how can I make the most of the night?

Bring your ticket (digital or printed), a valid ID, and only essentials that comply with typical theater-style venue policies—such as a small bag, payment method, and any required medication. Dress in comfortable layers suitable for an indoor concert and Montreal’s spring weather, keeping in mind that the room can get warm once the crowd fills in. Aim to arrive around or shortly after doors open at 6:30 PM so you can find a good spot, grab a drink or snack, and catch Brother Elsey’s opening set without rushing. To keep the evening enjoyable and affordable, consider eating a reasonably priced meal beforehand, set a spending limit for merch and refreshments, and then focus on soaking in the atmosphere—MTELUS is built for nights where the whole room sings along, which is exactly how The Fray’s songs shine.
