Nashville runs 3 pro teams across NHL, NFL, and NCAAF — the Predators (NHL), the Titans (NFL), and the Vanderbilt Commodores Football (NCAAF). This page filters every live listing to October 2 – October 4 only — sorted by date so the earliest weekend start sits on top — so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matinee and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.
What's worth seeing in Nashville this weekend
Hockey seats swing hard by opponent — the Predators at Bridgestone Arena price midweek non-rivalry games far below weekend and Original-Six matchups, so a flexible date is the surest path under $50.
Football is the scarcest ticket — just 9 home dates means the Titans at Nissan Stadium rarely dip cheap, but early-season and cold-weather late-season games are where resale softens first.

Nashville sports market at a glance
Nashville carries 3 pro teams across NHL, NFL, and NCAAF, putting about 70 home dates on the annual calendar. The overlap between seasons — especially when NHL and NFL run concurrently — splits local demand and can push prices down on the less-hyped matchups.
Venue capacity shapes the price floor here. Nissan Stadium seats 69,143 for Titans games, which creates more available inventory per event and generally softer resale pricing. In contrast, Bridgestone Arena holds 17,113, so Predators tickets carry tighter supply and higher floors on popular dates.
Game-day guide: Nashville venues
Bridgestone Arena — Predators (NHL)
Bridgestone Arena (17,113 seats) is a large indoor arena in Downtown Nashville (Broadway) that hosts Predators (NHL) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. The attached Pinnacle Garage plus numerous nearby Metropolis lots serve the arena. WeGo Public Transit buses serve nearby Lower Broadway and the Music City Central hub a few blocks north; rideshare drop-off zones are available downtown.
Nissan Stadium — Titans (NFL)
Nissan Stadium (69,143 seats) is a large open-air stadium in East Bank that hosts Titans (NFL) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Stadium lots surround the venue on the East Bank, with additional downtown garages a short walk across the river. Limited transit; WeGo bus service and pedestrian bridges connect from downtown with rideshare drop-off zones.
FirstBank Stadium — Vanderbilt Commodores Football (NCAAF)
FirstBank Stadium (34,000 seats) is a mid-size stadium in Vanderbilt University campus that hosts Vanderbilt Commodores Football (NCAAF) home games.
