Many Wolf Trap performances have assigned seats, but in some instances, venue tickets are sold as “general admission.” A general admission ticket gains admittance to a performance with no designated, or reserved, seating and is available on a “first come, first served” basis.

Filene Center: Seating on the lawn is always general admission, and available on a “first come, first served” basis. Each season, one or two shows may be fully general admission.

The Barns at Wolf Trap: For general admission shows at The Barns, the chairs are cleared from the main floor to allow room for dancing. Reserved seating remains in the upper balcony.

Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods: All performances are general admission.

Yes, but lawn seating is “first come, first served,” so the earlier you arrive, the better choice of views. Additionally, the lawn has screens and its own sound system so the experience is not diminished.
