Nationwide Arena Tickets

Work began on the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, in 1998, and the facility was officially opened in the year 2000. Since it opened its doors, the arena has been the home to the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets. At various times throughout the years, it has also housed the Columbus Landsharks, Columbus Destroyers and Ohio Junior Blue Jackets. Combat sports are always a popular draw at the Nationwide Arena. The facility has hosted UFC 68, UFC 82, UFC 96, WWE Bad Blood, WWE Money in the Bank and WWE Fastlane. Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Cher, Bon Jovi, Barry Manilow, Keith Urban, Maroon 5 and Pearl Jam are just a few of the famed musicians who have graced the Nationwide Arena stage over the years.
