The Columbus Blue Jackets joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 2000, bringing big-league hockey to Ohio's capital city. Nationwide Arena, a 19,500-seat downtown venue, opened the same year and has hosted some of the loudest crowds in NHL history during Columbus playoff runs. The Blue Jackets' cannon — fired after every goal and goal song — is one of the most distinctive traditions in the league. The team's 2019 playoff first round sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning (who had set a regular-season points record) stands as one of the biggest upsets in NHL history. Columbus has cultivated a loyal Midwestern fan base that packs the arena in red, navy, and gold. The Blue Jackets are central to the growth of hockey in a non-traditional American market.
The cheapest Blue Jackets tickets typically appear on weeknight non-rivalry games — Mondays and Tuesdays against non-conference opponents move at the steepest discount. Upper-bowl and end-zone seats are 40-70% cheaper than centerline lower-bowl, with comparable views of the action. Check the AllSports listing close to game day too — prices can drop in the final 48 hours when more seats release.
Avoid the markup trap: compare AllSports listings by section, opponent, and game date before you buy. Mid-bowl 200-level seats are the sweet spot for budget-conscious fans — strong sightlines, half the price of premium club seats.
The NHL regular season runs October through April, with playoffs through June. Each NHL club plays 82 regular-season games, split between home dates at Nationwide Arena and road dates across the league. The Columbus Blue Jackets schedule typically releases in July, with onsales rolling out city-by-city in the weeks that follow. Playoff and postseason dates are added round-by-round as the bracket clarifies — check this page first when those dates drop, listings refresh every six hours.
The hottest Blue Jackets dates on the NHL calendar are divisional grudge matches and Original Six visitors. Rivalry-game inventory at Nationwide Arena routinely clears 60-90 days before the first whistle, with the steepest price jumps on the lower bowl. If a rivalry date is on your wishlist, lock in tickets as soon as the schedule is released — waiting until game week often costs 2-3x the early-onsale price.
Public transit to Nationwide Arena on Columbus Blue Jackets game days is the most reliable option — local transit typically adds service on game nights to handle the post-game crowd.
