Full detailAbout Uber Arena
The Uber Arena is one of Germany's premier indoor venues: a steep modern bowl seating 14,500 for basketball, 14,200 for ice hockey and up to 17,000 for concerts, built around a lower tier of Premium blocks (101-104), a middle tier (201-220) and an upper tier (401-421), with the Ron Barcelo Premium Lounge, Event Suites and a World Dinner Restaurant on the hospitality level.
The Uber Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena in the Friedrichshain district of Berlin, on the bank of the Spree between Ostbahnhof and Warschauer Straße. It opened in September 2008, was designed by HOK Sport (now Populous) with JSK Architects, and cost €165 million. Renamed under a long-term partnership with Uber and AEG Europe on 22 March 2024 — the largest naming-rights deal of its kind in Germany — it is the home of ALBA Berlin basketball and Eisbären Berlin ice hockey and hosts more than 130 sport, music and show events a year.
