Wizards hike season-ticket costs as arena renovation expands premium seating

The Washington Wizards will raise season-ticket prices for the 2026-27 season by an average of 6.31%, with some sections increasing nearly 15% and 43 of the arena’s 45 price tiers affected, in tandem with Capital One Arena’s $800 million renovation. The team is expanding premium seating (Vaults and Halo planned for 2027) and revamping renewal rewards, which has drawn criticism from longtime fans amid the franchise’s historically poor performance (15-39 in its rebuild). Management says the adjustments balance accessibility with investing in a best-in-class fan experience, though no on-court guarantees are offered.
