About Ticket Place

Ticket Place has a storied place in Washington, DC’s live entertainment scene. Originally operating as a ticket-discount booth, the venue footprint evolved when it moved from Lisner Auditorium to the Old Post Office Pavilion on 12th Street and Pennsylvania Ave NW in June 1997. Today, the site sits within the iconic Old Post Office Pavilion—recently renamed and repurposed as Waldorf Astoria Washington DC. This page provides a practical guide to the venue space, seating possibilities, parking, transportation options, and nearby hotels and dining choices to help you secure your seats with ease.

Note: Ticket Place historically functioned as a ticket-discount hub rather than a traditional performance venue. When planning attendance, treat each event date as standalone, and verify current venue details for any changes in space usage or capacity.
