Capital One Arena concert travel guide

Capital One Arena is in Washington’s Penn Quarter/Chinatown area. Its directions identify Gallery Place/Chinatown on the Red, Green and Yellow lines.

Arrival option: Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro station. Use the official arrival map to match the last part of your route to the entrance printed on your concert ticket. Leave time for queues and security checks.

• Official arrival information

Compare Penn Quarter accommodation with stays connected by Metro. Check the last service on your line rather than assuming all lines finish together.

Plan backwards from your last onward service and allow time to leave the venue. Check the date-specific return journey, including transfers; do not assume a service or shuttle advertised for a sports fixture also runs for your concert.

• Official arrival information

Contact Capital One Arena before booking if you need a wheelchair space, companion ticket, hearing support or another adjustment. Confirm the route from your station, parking space or drop-off to your ticketed area, including any lifts or stairs.

Use the venue’s current visitor information to ask about accessible entrances and assistance. A nearby station or parking space does not establish that the whole route is step-free.

• Official venue and visitor information

Use the current parking and entrance map. Allow time for any event-specific access arrangements around the arena and surrounding streets.

Agree a permitted collection point before the show, with a backup if traffic restrictions change. Check the parking operator’s closing time, pedestrian exit and event conditions before paying.
