Schottenstein Center concert travel guide

Plan both directions of your concert trip to Schottenstein Center in Columbus. The Schottenstein Center is on the Ohio State campus, not at downtown Nationwide Arena.

Arrival option: Use the Ohio State campus arena approach via Ackerman Road and Fred Taylor Drive. Use the official arrival map to match the last part of your route to the entrance printed on your concert ticket. Leave time for queues and security checks.

• Official arrival information

Agree a campus collection point before entry and allow time to walk from your gate to it.

Plan backwards from your last onward service and allow time to leave the venue. Check the date-specific return journey, including transfers; do not assume a service or shuttle advertised for a sports fixture also runs for your concert.

• Official arrival information

Contact Schottenstein Center before booking if you need a wheelchair space, companion ticket, hearing support or another adjustment. Confirm the route from your station, parking space or drop-off to your ticketed area, including any lifts or stairs.

Use the venue’s current visitor information to ask about accessible entrances and assistance. A nearby station or parking space does not establish that the whole route is step-free.

• Official venue and visitor information

Check your concert’s parking map, including any assigned accessible lot.

Agree a permitted collection point before the show, with a backup if traffic restrictions change. Check the parking operator’s closing time, pedestrian exit and event conditions before paying.

• Official arrival information

The Schottenstein Center is on the Ohio State campus, not at downtown Nationwide Arena.

Check the current concert page for bag restrictions, prohibited items, age rules, ticket requirements and doors time. Arrange overnight luggage storage separately; do not assume a cloakroom or bag-drop service is available. Ask the venue about medical items in advance.

• Official venue and visitor information

Compare the campus area with downtown Columbus and allow for the separate late transfer.

Use the Stays tab on your CatchWorm event page to compare accommodation for your dates. Check late check-in, luggage arrangements and cancellation terms directly with the provider before booking.
