What to Expect
Crypto.com Arena sits in the heart of LA Live, Los Angeles's premier entertainment complex in the South Park district of downtown. The Kings share the arena with the Lakers, Clippers (until 2024), and Sparks, but hockey nights have their own energy. LA Live's restaurants, bars, and the plaza area create a buzzing pregame scene. Kings fans are loyal and knowledgeable, the 2012 and 2014 Cup wins built a passionate base. Games run about 2.5 hours in regulation. LA's mild climate means year-round comfortable outdoor pregame.
View Seating GuideTips & Fan Reports
Sit on the side where the Kings attack twice. Ticket maps usually show which side. High 100s are probably the best mix of really good visibility and crowd enthusiasm.
No matter where your tickets are you can go down to the glass to watch pre-game warmups. Do this. It is great. For hockey most people agree you do not want to sit too close since the glass distorts the view.
The last row of the 100s is the sweet spot for being close but also being able to see the game as it is played. LA Live right next door has tons of food and bar options for before and after.
Travel with a clutch under 5 by 9 by 1 inches or nothing at all; even a clear bag is refused here.
For hockey, the 200 level shows you more of the game than the glass does, for a fraction of the price.
Medical and parental bags are allowed up to 14x14x6 but go through X-ray, so allow extra time.
Pico Station is the stop, and four rail lines reach it — A, C, D and E.
THE CENTER 6 is the arena's own name for the six centre sideline sections, and they come with the Lexus Club rather than being sold as ordinary seats.
DASH Route F stops on Figueroa right alongside L.A. LIVE.
Premium memberships cover Kings, Lakers and Sparks games plus concerts, so they are annual rather than per-game.
