Crypto.com Arena: A Visitor Guide to Entrances, Bags, Parking and Access

What to know first

Crypto.com Arena is at 1111 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015, in the L.A. LIVE district downtown. It is an indoor arena, and the venue's pages describe it as a fully cash-free building that accepts debit and credit cards, including contactless and mobile payment.

Capacity depends on the sport. The arena's guide lists 19,079 for basketball and 18,118 for hockey. The pages state that the temperature inside during most events is approximately 75 degrees, and approximately 65 degrees during ice events.

Two rules catch people out before they reach a door. Outside food and beverages are not permitted, with a narrow water exception covered below, and the arena does not provide a coat check or storage for personal belongings. Large bags have one option: a rental locker next to the Kobe Bryant Entrance.

SeatCommons keeps this guide alongside its own event listings, so you can read the house rules and then browse what is on at the arena.

Getting there by Metro, bus and rideshare

The arena's pages say the building is blocks from the A and B Lines, without giving a walking distance or time from a station. Several bus options stop nearby: Metro Bus lines 28, 30, 81, 460 and the J Line stop near L.A. LIVE, and DASH Bus Route F has several stops on Figueroa St. adjacent to L.A. LIVE.

Metrolink is named for a weekend pass priced at

Entrances, levels and finding your seat

Main Entrances are open to all ticketed guests. Three are named on the arena's pages: the Kobe Bryant Entrance at the corner of Chick Hearn Ct. (11th St.) and Georgia St., the Star Plaza Entrance at the corner of Chick Hearn Ct. (11th St.) and Figueroa St. between the Box Office and Team LA Store, and the Figueroa Entrance at the corner of 12th St. and Figueroa St.

VIP Entrances are only for Private Suite and Premier Seat ticket holders. Star Plaza VIP Entry is at the corner of Chick Hearn Ct. (11th St.) and Figueroa St. next to the Team LA Store, and Southwest VIP Entry sits between the 11th Street and Figueroa Entrances, next to the Los Angeles Convention Center. The arena notes that Suite Level guests may use any entrance, but that the VIP Entrances are the only access points to their seats.

Seat location maps onto the building's levels. Event Level holds Floor and General Admission tickets. The Main Concourse at street level holds 100 and 200 level tickets. Suite Level A holds A Suite and PR tickets, Suite Level B holds B Suite tickets and Suite Level C holds C Suites tickets. The Upper Concourse holds 300 level tickets.

General Admission on the floor is standing room only, with no seats. Guests with GA FLR tickets must enter through the Kobe Bryant Entrance at Chick Hearn Ct. (11th St.) and Georgia St., and once inside they receive a wristband to access the floor. Standing in aisles and on chairs is prohibited.

One more entrance to know: the Card Member Entrance is accessed at the Kobe Bryant Entrance. That lounge check-in is on the Main Concourse across from aisle M22 next to the Team LA Store. Platinum Card Members may bring one guest per Platinum Card, and Centurion Members up to three guests per Centurion Card, subject to capacity, with guests present at check-in. For sports events the lounge closes right after the event ends; for concerts and family events it closes 30 minutes before the show starts.

Guests who transfer from a wheelchair or mobility device into a seat must store the device at the Guest Services Center for the duration of the event.

Audio description and sign language interpretation are not assured for every event. The arena asks for at least two weeks advance notice so it can try to accommodate a request.

Small clutches and wallets smaller than 5 by 9 by 1 inches are permitted and are subject to security inspection. Medical and parental bags smaller than 14 by 14 by 6 inches must go through X-ray machine security screening.

Guests arriving with larger bags can rent a Binbox Locker next to the Kobe Bryant Entrance, beside the LA Kings Monument, using the Binbox app and its payment platform. Bag check opens an hour before general doors and closes an hour after the event.

Weapons of any kind, including guns, knives and pepper spray, are prohibited, along with any object that could be used to inflict bodily injury or disrupt the event, pointed-tip umbrellas, chemical dispensing devices, noise-making devices, fully inflated basketballs, two-way radios and handcuffs.

Other rules the pages spell out: the arena is smoke-free, including outdoor patios and terraces. Costumes, props, full face masks and face paint are not allowed. Strollers are not permitted in seating sections. Guests may bring personal binoculars to most events.

Re-entry is possible but not quick. Guests who need to leave and return must first find a Guest Services Team Member to have their ticket scanned, then repeat security screening and ticket scanning on the way back in.

Children 3 and older need a ticket and must sit in their ticketed seat. For all sporting events and most concerts, children 2 and younger do not need a ticket but must sit on an adult's lap and may not occupy a seat.

On tickets, the arena states it assumes no responsibility for tickets not purchased through its Box Office or AXS, and that it cannot be responsible for the authenticity of tickets obtained through any other source and will not honor counterfeit or invalid tickets.

Doors and start times

Door opening times vary by event, and the arena's FAQ points guests to the specific event page for details. There is no single doors time for the building, so check the page for the event you are attending before you plan your arrival.

Bag check keeps its own schedule tied to doors: it opens an hour before general doors and closes an hour after the event.
