Best Seats For a Concert at Capital One Arena
The most common seating layout at Capital One Arena for concerts is an end-stage setup with the stage located near sections Section 115, Section 116 and Section 117. For many concerts there are also slight variations to the layout, which may include General Admission seats, fan pits and B-stages.
On the Floor: Sections Floor 1, Floor 2, Floor 3 and Floor 4 are Floor Seats, which offer some of the closest views of the performers. For many concerts, floor sections are added or removed. These performer-specific adjustments may alter the floor layout and the views from each floor section.
To the Side of the Stage: For close views of the stage with a little bit of elevation, consider seats to the side of the stage in Section 112, Section 113 and Section 120. The view is not head-on like on the floor, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.
Head-on to the Stage: Seats directly across from the stage, like those in Section 104, Section 105, Section 106 and Section 107 provide the most comfortable looks of the performance.
Even upper level sections offer unobstructed sitelines. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to see as much detail from these seats as you would if you sat closer to the stage.
Consider the Following When Buying Concert Tickets
Seats behind the stage are occassionally sold: Unless your main objective is to just get in the building, you'll want to completely avoid anything behind the stage - like those in/near or above sections Section 115, Section 116, Section 117 and Section 118. It's unlikely the performer will turn around to salute you - and you're more likely to be completely blocked out from seeing the show.
If you're on the shorter side (or bringing kids), consider floor seats only in the first few rows: The most common complaint amongst floor ticketholders is that they can't see the stage because of taller people in front of them. As an alternative, consider side sections near the stage that will still have you close and high enough to see.
Lower level side sections are not created equal: While the side sections closest to the stage are top-notch, side sections farther from the stage may leave you with a cramp in your neck. Sections 101 and 110 are not well-angled towards the stage - leaving you to turn your head for an ideal view. Instead, consider head-on sections in the lower level or even close side seats in the upper level like 419 and 432.

Other Popular Seating Areas
100 Level End (Concert) Seating
Opposite the stage on the lower level are Sections 104-107. These sections each have 24 rows of seating labeled A-Y (no Row I).
Families will enjoy the last five rows of in Sections 105-106 due to their proximity to concessions and the height of these seats compared to other seats on the end. In addition, these seats are head-on to the stage so you won't have to turn your body for a good view.
100 Level Sides (Concert) Seating
Side sections on the 100 level have about 20 lettered rows of seating with Row AA being the closest row to the floor. Rows labels continue with BB and CC before rows A-T. The front rows of these sections are among the most expensive concert tickets at Capital One Arena due to their proximity to the stage.
With the exception of sections 113 and 120 where the number of seats increases as the you sit higher, most rows have 21 or 22 seats with seat 1 on your left as you look towards the floor. In side section 113, the best views will be found in seat 1 which is closer to section 112. And in section 120, the best views will come from higher-number seats.
If you can't sit in the first row in these sections, sit closer to the back where the tunnel entrance is located and the walk to your seats will be limited.
100 Level Baseline (Basketball) Seating
Baseline sections are usually the cheapest way to see a game from the lower level. Not surprisingly, these seats are also known for having the worst views and being farther from the court than expected.
The biggest complaint with these sections is their location behind the baskets. The hoop can make it difficult to see if baskets are made or missed and can make it difficult to see the other end entirely. For minimal obstructions, choose a higher row in one of the sections closer to the corner. The elevation will help you see both end and the angle from the corner helps to see the near basket better.

Despite being behind the basket, many fans sit here hoping to be close to the floor. In reality, row A is the first row in each section and more than ten rows from the court. Box seats and floor seats occupy the dozen or so rows closest to the court.
Each of these sections is split up into a lower and upper portion. Rows A-T are in the lower part and U-Z are up a small set of stairs. In row T you'll be just a few steps away from the concourse and in row U you'll have no one sitting in front of you.
100 Level Corner (Basketball) Seating
Corner seating in the lower level for a basketball game is often hit or miss. All four corners feature two sections with drastically different experiences.
If sitting close to the players or the floor is a priority for you, consider the first two rows (BB-CC) in a corner section like 102 or 120. These rows are behind the player benches and just a few feet from the hardwood. Just beware that the views of the other end of the court are difficult from such a low position.
Avoid the front rows of sections like 103 and 119 where tickets are often over-priced and you won't be as close to the court as you might think. Row A is the first row in sections 103, 108, 114 and 119 but you'll feel like you're about 10 rows back. If that's not an issue for you, you'll actually find that rows A-O in these sections are the smallest in the 100 level. There are 10 or fewer seats in each row which makes it easier to get in and out.
Instead of the lower rows in 103, 108, etc., consider tickets near the top of each section. Rows P-U have fairly good sitelines (though the basket does disrupt the view a bit), close proximity to the main concourse and some of the lowest ticket prices in the 100 level.
Center Preferred (Hockey) Seating
Sections 100-101, 110-112 and 121 are located closest to center ice on the lower seating tier at the Capital One Arena. Their proximity to the red line and to the ice make them among the most desirable seats in the arena.
Like most lower level sections, each of these contain roughly 20 rows of lettered seats with Row A closest to the ice right on the glass. Exceptions are found in Sections 100 and 111 where the player benches and penalty box occupy the first two rows. In these sections, Row 3 is directly behind the box or bench.
For fans considering tickets in these sections, there are three different experience types:
The first is sitting in Row A against the glass. These are ideal for the fan who loves the hard-hitting action, wants to be seen on television or wants to bang on the glass.
The second option is for fans who want to get as close to the players as possible. Seats behind the benches or penalty box are ideal for seeing the players jump on and off the ice and for seeing how they behave when they're waiting for a line change. The view of the entire ice surface is usually at least partially blocked by the players.
If you're looking for the best views of the action on the ice, consider one of the higher rows (N and higher). Sitting in these higher rows won't have you breathing on the back of Alexander Ovechkin, but you'll have great views of both ends of the ice and also quick access to concessions and restrooms.
Lower Preferred (Hockey) Seating
When sitting behind the net, viewers get a great angle to watch the plays develop as the players skate down the ice. This also gives fans a view similar to what the goalie sees before he comes up with a big save or a goal is scored.
Fans sitting behind the net should consider the Shoot Twice side of Capital One Arena. Sections 104-107 are on the side where the Capitals will shoot twice so home fans who want to have the best chance to be close to where their team scores should look to sit on this side of the arena.
For the best overall views of breakouts and power play setups, choose a higher row where you'll be able to see over the glass and partitions and also to the other side.
Preferred Attack and Defend (Hockey) Seating
From the corner of the lower level of seating, fans will get a great view of the action on the near side of the ice.
Fans will have an ideal perspective for big face-offs close to their side, but it can be difficult to see what is happening when the action approaches the opposite end of the ice. For this reason, be sure to choose the side where your team shoot twice.
If you're a Caps fan, choose one of the sections on the 102-103 side of the ice. You'll have the best views of a majority of their scoring chances.
