If you’re headed to Capital One Arena next year, chances are you won’t need to print anything out before you go.
The arena will transition to exclusively digital ticketing for all sporting events and concerts, Monumental Sports and Entertainment announced Wednesday.
Washington Wizards and Capitals season tickets will be fully digital starting with the 2020 playoffs, per a news release. All concerts announced after Jan. 1 will use only digital ticketing.
“At Monumental, we have had a very strong mobile presence for the past four years with the vast majority of our fans currently taking advantage of the benefits of utilizing digital tickets for entry into Capitals and Wizards games at Capital One Arena,” Monumental President of Business Operations Jim Van Stone said in a statement. “We are focused on making our entire ticketing process as streamlined as possible while ensuring our fans are fully educated and prepared for how to best manage their tickets.”
Capital One Arena will use Ticketmaster Presence for fan entry into the venue. Fans will access digital tickets on their phones on Ticketmaster.com or in the Ticketmaster mobile app.
Monumental joins a growing trend in the sports world toward digital tickets and away from paper. As one major example, the NFL has transitioned to fully digital ticketing via Ticketmaster Presence over the last two seasons.
