Getting Ready for Your Gottwald Playhouse At Dominion Energy Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown venue inside a larger performing arts complex.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for downtown parking and to find the Gottwald Playhouse inside the larger Dominion Energy Center complex.
• Wear the right footwear. Access is standard for an indoor downtown venue, but comfortable shoes are helpful if you are walking from a garage, surface lot, hotel, or nearby restaurant.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown arrival can take longer before popular evening performances, especially when parking garages, surface lots, and nearby streets are busy.
• Know your entrance. Enter through the Dominion Energy Center complex and look for Gottwald Playhouse directions once inside, since the center also houses Carpenter Theatre and Rhythm Hall.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
