The 31-year-old, charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump and firearms offences, made the decision at a Washington federal hearing; a preliminary hearing is set for 11 May.
Prosecutors said evidence of guilt was overwhelming, alleging extensive planning and releasing a hotel-room photo showing Allen with a knife, tools and what appeared to be ammunition.
Investigators say Allen fired at least once after rushing a security checkpoint outside Saturday's gala, where Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and cabinet officials were present; ballistics analysis remains unfinished.
