Capital One Arena Venue Information

Located at 601 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20004, Capital One Arena is in the Penn Quarter district of downtown Washington D.C. The magnificent building has become the centerpiece of the neighborhood – it’s surrounded by restaurants, attractions, and nightlife.

Built in 1997, this state-of-the-art arena seats up to 20,000 fans. This changes slightly based on the event. It’s home to the Washington Capitals ice hockey team, Washington Wizards basketball, and Georgetown Hoyas college basketball teams. There are also regular, high-profile concerts, shows, and special events throughout the year.

When you visit, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable event. The venue has all the modern amenities, including mobile ticket entry, cashless transactions, and multiple entrances. Food and drink options inside range from quick bites to gourmet meals – perfect for the intermission or halftime.

The venue’s also incredibly easy to reach. Capital One Arena is served by multiple Metro stops – Gallery Place/Chinatown (Red, Green, Yellow lines) are the closest – and it’s within walking distance of several others. So whether you’re coming from D.C. or visiting from out of town, your trip to the arena will be straightforward.

Capital One Arena Seating Chart

Sports Layout

Concert Layout

Capital One Arena’s seating bowl is designed for flexibility. It can be changed by event – adapting to a wide range of sports and show styles. However, there are three primary areas.

Floor Seating

For concerts and special events, the sports arena floor can be transformed into rows of seats or standing-room general admission. These are the closest spots to the stage. As such, ticket prices start around $100 and can be much more for premium shows. Reserved seating tickets in central areas and closer to the stage are usually the most sought-after.

100 and 200-Level

The two lowest seating sections of the bowl are known as the 100-level (closest to the floor) and 200-level. These lower-level sections put you near the court, rink, or stage, and offer a great view of the action. Prices start around $30 for sports events, going up to $500+ for courtside seats. Playoff games and premium matchups usually start at $100-150+. For concerts, centrally located lower-level seats are a top pick and prices vary depending on the act.

400-Level

Looking for cheap Capital One Arena tickets? The upper tier of the arena, known as the 400 level, has much more affordable seating options than the floor or lower sections. Prices sometimes start around $10–$20 for sports games, especially basketball. Despite being higher up, the views are still solid – large video boards and a booming sound system mean you won’t miss a thing.

VIP Seating

Capital One Arena has a huge array of VIP options. If it’s a special occasion – or you just want the VIP treatment – you can choose from a list including luxury suites, club-level seating, and private lounges. Packages vary. However, most include food and beverage service, priority entry, and plush seating as standard.

While these packages offer fantastic perks, they are often pricey and may require season-long (or even longer) commitments. For a one-off event, you might consider a regular ticket in premium sections paired with optional lounge-only upgrades.

You can explore the Capital One Arena VIP options at the venue’s dedicated website.

Accessible Seating

As a modern facility, accessible seating is available throughout all levels of the Capital One Arena. The arena accommodates service animals, has accessible restrooms, and offers elevator access. If you need help locating or booking accessible tickets, call 202-661-5065 or visit Guest Services across from Sections 102 or 402.

Capital One Arena Ticket Types

Concert/show Tickets

For most concerts, you’ll have options between floor seating, lower, and upper levels. VIP upgrades are also available at most shows.

Depending on the event, the stage may be at one end of the arena with partial seating sections closed off. It’s always best to check the layout when booking. Prices start around $50–$70 for upper-level seating and can rise into the hundreds for floor and front-row tickets, especially at in-demand events.

Sports Tickets

As the home of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and NBA’s Washington Wizards, Capital One Arena hosts regular top-tier sporting action. Layouts differ between hockey and basketball, but you’ll find similar pricing structures:

• Budget-friendly options in the 400-level
• Mid-range seats in the 100–200 sections
• Premium courtside or glass-side seats.

Washington Capital Tickets

Playoff tickets or rivalry games can command higher prices – $30–$60 for upper-level seats, $150+ for mid-range, up to $500+ for premium sections. If you’re a Capitals fan, consider buying tickets in the “shoot twice” sections, meaning you get to see the most of your team’s attacking play. The Capitals shoot twice towards section 102 and surrounding areas.

Washington Wizards Tickets

Wizards regular season tickets can be a real bargain. At some matches, you’ll find options from just $10 in the 400-level. Seats that provide a central view of the court (along the halfway line) are the most sought-after and the most expensive, often $100+. Corner tickets are a great mix of budget and experience. Wizards players sit in front of section 101, while the away team is in front of 121.

VIP Packages

Looking to level up your visit? Capital One Arena’s VIP options include private suites, VIP lounges, club-level seating, and priority access areas. Some packages even offer dedicated entry, personal wait service, and upgraded food and drink menus. You’ll find even more options at Wizards games, with courtside booths and a range of other options.

Accessible Tickets

Accessible tickets are available throughout Capital One Arena. Usually, seats are integrated across levels, and companion seats are typically available alongside them. Purchase online or, if you need assistance, contact the Accessible Seating Line at 202-661-5065.
