What to Expect
Honda Center sits in Anaheim's Platinum Triangle, a sprawling entertainment district shared with Angel Stadium and the Anaheim Convention Center. The Ducks pregame scene is relaxed and family-friendly, with tailgating in the parking lots and dining at nearby GardenWalk. Southern California weather means you can tailgate year-round in shorts. Games run about 2.5 hours in regulation. The arena's suburban setting means most fans drive, and traffic on Katella Avenue builds starting 90 minutes before puck drop.

Eat before you get there. Honda Center food is not good and their prices are stupid. A bottle of water is like $10 and cheap beer is about $20. Pre-game somewhere nearby and save your money.
Go to the Honda Center website for the parking map for the free lots. I recommend the new garages - getting in is easy, getting out takes a little bit but it is not terrible. Get a street dog on your way out after the game.
If you sit on the ends try to sit on the side where the Ducks shoot twice. 300 level are the Club Level seats with special amenities including a separate entrance and better food options.
The San Manuel Premium Level admits only Suite and Premium seating tickets — no other seat opens it.
OCVIBE construction is live around the arena, so the route and the available parking are both moving targets.
Premium parking in the River Garage connects to the Columbia Bank Club Level by a bridge, so a premium ticket means parking and walking straight into the club.
Parking is included with the event at every onsite lot — no separate pass to buy, which is rare.
Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Club seats begin 19 rows from the floor, which is worth knowing before assuming a premium club seat is rinkside.
Lifts serve all four corners of the arena, so there is one near whichever gate you use.
A 4 by 6 by 1.5 inch bag is the ceiling and a clear bag gets no extra allowance.
