Frequently Asked Questions
When is Dancing with the Stars in Columbus, OH?
Dancing with the Stars – Live! 2026 Tour comes to the Schottenstein Center in Columbus on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, with the show starting at 7:30 pm. It is a one-night stop in Columbus on the 2026 tour schedule, so that date is your only local chance to see the show.
Where is the Schottenstein Center and what is the venue like?
The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Value City Arena) is on the Ohio State University campus at 555 Borror Drive, Columbus, OH 43210. It is a large multi-purpose arena that can seat up to about 18,000–20,000 guests for concerts, with lower-bowl and upper-level seating and curtains used to create more intimate theater-style setups when needed.
What time should I arrive before the 7:30 pm show?
Parking lots around the arena typically open about two hours before event doors, and event guides recommend arriving at least 60 minutes early. For a 7:30 pm show, plan to be on campus by about 6:00–6:30 pm so you have time to park, walk to the arena, pass security, and find your seats without rushing.
How long does the Dancing with the Stars live show usually last?
Tour listings and similar dates describe the live show as running around two hours, usually with a short intermission. With a 7:30 pm start, you can expect the evening at the Schottenstein Center to wrap up around 9:30–9:45 pm, plus a bit of time to exit and return to your car.
How much do tickets usually cost for the Columbus show?
Ticket platforms show a range of prices, with more affordable seats typically in the upper levels and higher prices for lower-bowl and floor sections closer to the stage. Overall price varies with demand and configuration, but you should expect a clear jump in cost as you move toward mid- and lower-level center seats and any VIP options.
What VIP packages are available, and who are they best for?
The Columbus stop offers multiple VIP experiences similar to other tour cities, such as front-row or close-up seating with photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and early entry perks promoted with the tour. These are ideal for superfans who value premium views and extras; if your priority is saving money, regular reserved seats without VIP add-ons are usually a better value.
How can I get cheap tickets for Dancing with the Stars in Columbus?
To keep your ticket price low, search for seats in the upper bowl or higher rows of the lower bowl instead of floor or center lower-level sections, which are priced at a premium. Compare offers across several major ticket sites, sort by lowest price, skip VIP packages and extras, and buy early so the least expensive sections don’t sell out or climb in price as the show gets closer.
Which seats are best to enjoy a dance show at the Schottenstein Center?
For a dance show, many guests like the lower-bowl sideline sections that are slightly elevated, giving a clear view of the entire stage and choreography. If you want a balance between view and cost, look at mid-lower-bowl or front upper-level sections facing the stage, which often provide good sightlines at a lower price than floor or center-lower bowl.
What are the parking options at the Schottenstein Center, and how can I save money?
There are more than 2,000 spaces in lots directly around the arena and over 7,000 additional spaces within a 5–10 minute walk, including lots near St. John Arena, French Field House, and along Olentangy River Road. Event parking is typically paid and cashless, with some lots charging a flat event rate and additional ADA spaces available in the closest “Scarlet” and Buckeye lots, plus shuttles from more distant lots for larger events. To save money, arrive early to use standard-priced lots, consider reserving parking in advance, carpool to split fees, or park slightly farther away and walk a bit if you are comfortable doing so.
Is the Dancing with the Stars show in Columbus family friendly?
The Columbus stop is promoted as part of the Dancing with the Stars Live 2026 Tour, a glitzy ballroom and Latin dance show modeled on the TV series and suitable for a broad audience. Families should consider the 7:30 pm start and about two-hour duration for younger children and may prefer aisle seats or lower-bowl sections for easier entry and exit during the performance.
What is the best overall strategy to keep the Columbus night affordable?
The most effective strategy is to pick upper-bowl or rear lower-bowl seats, monitor several ticket sites for the best mix of low prices and low fees, and buy as soon as you see a good value rather than waiting for last-minute spikes. Combine that with standard (not premium) parking, mobile tickets without extras, and shared rides so you can enjoy Dancing with the Stars Live at the Schottenstein Center without overspending.
