RYS Expert Reviews

100 Level Corner (Basketball)

- 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.  

Preferred Attack and Defend (Hockey)

- 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. 

VIP Glass Seats

(2026 Review) - Right on the Glass: The first rows of the lower level put you mere feet from the ice for Washington Capitals games.  Row A Glass Seats: True glass seats with exclusive access to the upscale United Globe Lounge.  Club Access: Rows B–C (and rows D–H in select sections) include entry to the United Globe Club.  All-Inclusive Food & Beverage (Capitals Games): Included food and drink varies by club — see below.  Who Should Sit Here  These VIP Glass Seats at Capital One Arena are for hockey fans who want to be as close to the action as possible while enjoying premium club perks. They suit anyone celebrating a special occasion or entertaining guests who expect an elevated, all-inclusive experience at Capitals games.  VIP Glass Seats Location & Details  VIP Seats for Capitals games are located in the first three rows (A–C) of the lower level sections, putting fans just feet from the glass and the ice. Rows D–H in select sections are also part of the VIP area. Row A tickets are the true Glass Seats.  Views from the VIP Glass Seats  From these front rows you're right up against the glass, giving you an ice-level vantage point that puts you in the middle of the on-ice action.  What's Included  Row A — United Globe Lounge: Access to the upscale, exclusive United Globe Lounge, open only to Row A ticketholders.

It's ideal for fans who want to be close to the action and enjoy premium lounge benefits without paying Courtside prices. If you want an elevated game-night experience with excellent sightlines and included food and drink, this is the zone for you.  VIP Seating Details  VIP Seating wraps the court along the sidelines, directly behind the Gold Courtside sections.

While not as immersive as Courtside, you're still within eight rows of the action, and the sideline location means you avoid the potential obstructions that can come with sitting behind the basket.  What's Included  United Globe Lounge: VIP fans receive access to the lounge, similar to Courtside ticket holders.    All-Inclusive Food & Drink: Includes food, beer, and select wine during Wizards games.    Good to Know  VIP seating delivers many of the same perks as Courtside seats at a step below the premium price. It's a strong option for fans who want lounge access and close-up sideline views without paying for Courtside.

  • Seating and Ticket Q&A

  • Better seat at Verizon Center, Section 1 Row S or Section 102 Row A?

    I would recommend sitting in Section 102 instead of the floor seats. Floor seats can be awesome, but they are also a lot riskier because tall people can stand in front of you the whole time, making it tough to see the stage throughout the entire concert. By sitting in the front row of Section 102, you have complete control of your own view since there is no one in front of you and you have the option to sit or stand during the concert, whatever pleases you the most. The front row also has extra leg room to make the seat more comfortable, so I would go with this seat for the security of knowing what you're going to get and for the comfort and flexibility of being in the front row.
