About Nationwide Arena

Nationwide Arena is the Columbus Blue Jackets' NHL home in the Arena District — a walkable blend of breweries, restaurants, and the NHL schedule. With a capacity of 18,500 right in Columbus, OH, the building sits in the sweet spot between intimacy and scale: close enough that an upper-bowl seat still feels in the room, big enough to pull the tours and teams that matter.

Budget & upper level
The upper bowl at Nationwide Arena is where OnlineSeats customers score the deepest discounts, especially 48-72 hours before a non-marquee show. Rows higher in the upper deck actually deliver a better angle for concerts than the lower corners — something the primary market rarely tells you.
