The Verizon Center is a 20,000 seat sports and entertainment venue located in the Penn Quarter neighborhood of historic Chinatown in downtown Washington, DC, and is the proud residence to the NBA's Washington Wizards, the NHL's Washington Capitals, the NCAA' s Georgetown Hoyas, and the WNBA's Washington Mystics, and a true staple of the nation's political center. Since its inaugural concert performance by Barry Manilow in 1997, the Verizon Center has famously served as the venue in which Michael Jordan became the oldest and only player to score 40 points in an NBA game, Mike Tyson's fought his final fight, and Michelle Obama and her daughters watched The Jonas Brothers play in front of a sold out crowd. Nicknamed the "Phone Booth" by local fans because of its association with communications companies, Verizon Center holds bragging rights to the "first true indoor high definition scoreboard" updated with the most current electronic communications, stunning even in these days of advanced technology. However, if proof that the Verizon Center has something for everyone needs to be presented, one has only to look to "Goat" and "Horn Guy." Fan fixtures at Washington Capital games since the 1990's, Goat can be found sitting in section 105 cheering for the team in what Washington Post called the "loudest voice and stompiest stomp on F Street," while "Horn Guy" sits in 415 blowing out three blasts on a horn to which the arena responds with their traditional "Let's Go Caps" chant. That alone is worth the price of admission.

The Verizon Center 2026 event schedule includes Nate Bargatze, Lady Gaga and Nine Inch Nails. TicketSales.com has the largest inventory of Verizon Center tickets, so keep checking for great deals on resale tickets.
