FanProof verdictCAPA lists Huntington Center Garage at 43 West Capital Street and LeVeque Tower Garage at 40 North Front Street. The latter is attached to the hotel, not a promise of direct step-free theatre entry. Check the exact reservation, price, hours and walk to 34 West Broad.

Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
Open the correct ticket account before travel. CAPA Digital Ticket Wallet uses rotating QR codes; screenshots and printouts are invalid. Broadway tickets use Ticketmaster instead. Confirm your actual delivery and doors, and allow extra downtown traffic time.
Transit & the journey home
Contact access@capa.com for requested access services. CAPA places accessible restrooms in the main lobby, with listening devices near the front doors; upper seating remains stair-only. The lower-level quiet area is not proof of a step-free route.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Choose a named downtown garage and verify the current approach.
- What to do
- CAPA lists Huntington Center Garage at 43 West Capital Street and LeVeque Tower Garage at 40 North Front Street. The latter is attached to the hotel, not a promise of direct step-free theatre entry. Check the exact reservation, price, hours and walk to 34 West Broad.
- Best option
- Compare the owner’s linked Huntington/LeVeque options or Ohio Statehouse garage. CAPA flags potential downtown road closures and rerouted LeVeque exits; check its current construction links before driving rather than relying on a fixed turn-by-turn route.
- Avoid
- Do not route to CAPA’s separate 39 East State Street office or assume a garage skywalk reaches your theatre seat. Confirm the 34 West Broad entrance, stairs, reservation conditions and return access before choosing a parking product.

MixedViewing and venue layout
CAPA’s complete chart retains row ranges, balcony overhang and the no-elevator warning. It is a seating-zone diagram rather than numbered chairs. Interior and ramp photographs provide context; current accessible arrangements and construction still need confirmation.

The experience
- Best for: At Palace Theatre Columbus, upper boxes, loge, mezzanine and balcony require stairs: CAPA says there is no elevator. Accessible seating is in orchestra row K. Match the owner’s zone chart and exact ticket rather than using another Palace Theatre’s layout.
- Watch out for: CAPA states one bag up to 16 × 16 × 8 inches for Broadway/high-profile shows, with inspection for all guests and bag searches. Outside food and beverages, including water bottles, are prohibited. Check the actual show for additional restrictions.
