Event-Day Timeline

1. Reach Will Call is at the main entrance, 149 Westchester Avenue, and opens two hours before showtime for Capitol Theatre shows and 90 minutes before showtime for Garcia’s shows; a photo ID is required, and the box office does not take ticket drop-offs. Guests cannot leave and re-enter Capitol Theatre shows; re-entry is allowed for Garcia’s shows. Unless a show is marked All Ages, children under 10 are not admitted, ages 10–17 must stay with a parent or legal guardian, and everyone needs a ticket; Garcia’s shows are 21 and over unless marked All Ages, and the venue says policies can vary by show.

Times are estimates — arrival steps use straight-line walking distances, and end times shift with encores, pacing, and overtime. Pad in a buffer for security lines, traffic, and will-call, and double-check restaurant hours before you go.
