Concerto couldn't find a rideshare pickup zone published by WAMU Theater. Set your pickup to the venue's address. After the show, use any signed pickup area, or walk a block or two from the main exit before you request a ride so your driver can reach you.

Accessible seating is first come, first served. For reserved shows, buy a designated accessible seat with your tickets; for general admission shows, tell the ushers when you arrive and they'll find you a spot on the accessible seating platform, which is limited. For ADA seating questions, call the Box Office at 206-381-7848.
