Event & Arena News

COLUMBUS, OH -- Live Nation presents the QFM 96 Christmas Concert featuring Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) at Nationwide Arena on Wednesday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 15 at 10 a.m. at the Nationwide Arena Ticket Office and through Ticketmaster.

In the decade since TSO debuted, the group has sold more than five million albums and performed before more than two million fans in sold-out venues across the country. The Wizards of Winter return with their biggest touring production yet – an eight-week, 117-show arena tour that will thrill audiences from coast to coast.

The passionate fan base that has made TSO both the most successful annual tour in North America and the hottest ticket of the winter already knows to expect the unexpected from the group’s concert performances, which combine the arena-rock spectacles of Pink Floyd and the musicality of Queen with ample doses of Yuletide cheer. This year, the group plans to add even more elements to its live sensory extravaganza, which already includes an orchestral string section, a full rock band, multiple vocalists, a narrator, extensive pyrotechnics, a stunning laser and light show and even a snowfall.

Tickets are $43.50 and $33.50. Tickets may be purchased at the Nationwide Arena Ticket Office, at all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, online at ticketmaster.com or by phone at (614) 431-3600. Tickets are also available at the Blue Jackets Zones located at Chiller Dublin, Chiller Easton and Chiller North. All tickets are subject to service charges and facility fees.
