About Motorpoint Arena Nottingham
Motorpoint Arena Nottingham opened in 2000 as the National Ice Centre, designed to serve both as a public ice facility and a large-scale events arena. The venue was developed as part of Nottingham's regeneration of the Lace Market and canal quarter area. Over the years it has hosted a broad range of events, from ice hockey — being the home of the Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League — to globally recognised music acts. The naming rights have changed hands over the years, with Motorpoint becoming the current sponsor. The arena remains one of the most prominent mid-sized indoor venues in the English Midlands.
The arena's enclosed indoor design concentrates crowd noise effectively, making it particularly atmospheric for ice hockey nights with the Nottingham Panthers, whose passionate fan base fills the lower bowl with chants and drums. For concerts, the layout offers good sightlines from most areas. The standing floor configuration for live music brings energy close to the stage, giving even mid-sized shows a lively, intimate feel for an arena of this scale.
Motorpoint Arena Nottingham is one of the most in-demand places to watch live sport and entertainment in Nottingham, with room for around 10,000 fans on a big night. Staadly lists verified resale tickets for every event here, all-in priced and backed by the 100% buyer guarantee.
Opened in the early 2000s, Motorpoint Arena Nottingham has established itself as a cornerstone of the city's cultural and sporting scene.

Over the years it has welcomed some of the biggest names in music alongside a diverse programme of family entertainment, live comedy and major sporting fixtures. The arena is perhaps best known as the home of the Nottingham Panthers ice hockey team, and matchdays here are famous for their electric atmosphere, with passionate home crowds creating a real sense of occasion. From the roar of a sold-out sporting night to the shared excitement of a live concert, the venue consistently delivers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
