Know Before You Go

We can’t wait to see you at an upcoming concert! Below are some tips to make the most of your experience.

Each CCS performance is unique, so make sure to read our official “Know Before You Go” email, which ticket buyers receive one day before the concert.

If you have additional questions, please reach out to us via email at choralsociety@cathedral.org.

 

Tips for Attending CCS Concerts

• Event parking is usually $10 in the Cathedral garage (rate subject to change). The garage opens 2 hours before the performance, and there are two entrances, one on Wisconsin Avenue and one on Woodley Road. Free surface parking is also available on the Cathedral grounds (South Road or Pilgrim Road).
• The closest Metro stop is the Tenleytown/American University station on the red line. From the metro station, any 30-series bus traveling south on Wisconsin Avenue will stop at the Cathedral.
• You will receive your ticket(s) via an email from the Washington National Cathedral Box Office, tickets@cathedral.org. Your ticket will be scanned upon entry – please have it printed or available to be scanned on your phone.
• Wheelchair access is available via a ramp entrance around the corner from the main visitor entrance on the left side of the Cathedral, across from the elevators from the parking garage.
• The box office will open one hour before the concert. If you are picking up tickets for friends or need to receive replacements, we can help you at that time. The Cathedral Nave will open for seating at least 30 minutes prior to the performance.
• We usually broadcast our concerts, so we ask you to arrive early and be in your seats before the performance begins.
• Making dinner reservations? Our concerts last between 90 and 120 minutes, so we encourage you to plan accordingly!
