Quick Answer: Crypto.com Arena, the former Staples Center at 1111 S. Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles, seats 18,997 for Lakers basketball, 18,145 for Kings hockey and 19,395 for concerts, according to the arena’s official figures. Its seats are numbered by ring: the 100 level (sections 101 to 119), the Premier level (sections PR1 to PR18 along the sides) with 200 level sections 205 to 210 and 214 to 219 at the ends, Suite Levels A, B and C, and the 300 level (sections 301 to 334). Event parking in the arena’s West Garage costs $40 plus city parking tax, the closest rail stop is Metro’s Pico Station on the A and E Lines, and bags are not allowed apart from small clutches.

Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as Staples Center, is the downtown Los Angeles home of the Lakers (NBA), the Kings (NHL) and the Sparks (WNBA). AEG owns and operates the building, which opened on October 17, 1999 and has hosted more than 5,400 events and over 94 million guests, according to the arena. In 2021, Crypto.com, the cryptocurrency platform behind the Crypto.com Visa Card, acquired the naming rights. The deal was announced on November 17, 2021 and took effect on December 25, 2021; a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press it was worth $700 million over 20 years. This guide covers the current seating chart, section numbers, premium areas, the best seats for each budget, entry rules, parking prices and transit, with every fact checked on November 3, 2026.

Stadium Layout and Crypto.com Arena Seat Arrangement

Crypto.com Arena is an indoor bowl of more than one million square feet on a 10-acre site, built for $407 million, according to the arena’s official vital statistics. One floor converts between a basketball court, an ice rink and a concert stage, so the same rings of seats serve every type of event. From the floor up, the building is organized like this:

• Event Level: the floor, with courtside seats at Lakers games, Premium Glass seats at Kings games, four Tunnel Suites and the Delta SKY360° Club
• 100 level: the lower bowl, sections 101 to 119, reached from the Main Concourse
• Premier level and 200 level: the Premier ring, sections PR1 to PR18 along the sides and corners, plus 200 level sections 205 to 210 and 214 to 219 at the two ends, also reached from the Main Concourse
• Suite Levels A, B and C: most of the arena’s 162 private suites (the total includes four Terrace Suites on the Main Concourse); another 16 event suites are rented one event at a time
• 300 level: the upper bowl, sections 301 to 334, reached from the Upper Concourse

AEG announced a nine-figure renovation on August 22, 2022, planned in phases through fall 2024 while the arena stayed open, covering premium seating, clubs, concourses and new video boards. Because the bowl and premium areas changed in stages, older Staples Center charts can be out of date, so always check the seat map shown for your event.

The arena now has three tenants: the Lakers, the Kings and the Sparks. The Clippers, who had shared the building since 1999, moved to the Intuit Dome in Inglewood and opened their 2024-25 season there on October 23, 2024 against the Phoenix Suns, as Spectrum News reported. Any guide that still lists Clippers home games at Crypto.com Arena is out of date.

Seating Chart, Crypto.com Arena Map, and Seat Map

Every ticket lists a section, a row and a seat. Section numbers run around each ring, and on current seat maps the court or rink lies between the two center sections of every level: 101 and 111 on the 100 level, PR5 and PR14 in the Premier ring, and 301 and 318 on the 300 level. A “PR” prefix marks a Premier section.

Suites and Premium Areas

• Courtside and Premium Glass: floor seats at Lakers games and glass seats at Kings games, with access to the Delta SKY360° Club on the Event Level, which the arena calls its most exclusive dining space, and complimentary food and drinks.
• Premier Seats (2,515 seats): the PR sections, with in-seat food and beverage service at Lakers and Kings games, VIP entrances and access to the Yaamava’ Club by San Manuel, a restaurant and bar on Suite Level A that also holds 20 Premier Lounges and 7 Premier Tables.
• Legacy Club: an upgrade for PR seat holders, with a renovated three-room club (The Lounge, the Chef’s Room and The Point) and a patio over Peacock Place; it opens 90 minutes before Lakers and Kings games, and food and drinks cost extra.
• Hyde Lounge: suite-level seats in pairs or tables with six tickets, with in-seat catering and a food and beverage minimum.
• Suites: 162 private suites, four Tunnel Suites and 16 event suites, sold as memberships for Lakers, Kings and Sparks games and concerts or as single-night rentals, with prices on request.
• The Sky Deck: the newest premium space, a pre-show party overlooking L.A. LIVE before select concerts, with early entry, a live DJ and light bites. The arena’s page lists “$100 per person per event” among its details and stresses that it is not an artist VIP package.

View from Seats, Visual Seat Representation, and Interactive Seating Chart

The arena’s official Virtual Arena Tour, built by 3D Digital Venue, lets you click through the premium areas and see the view from each: Premier Seats, Legacy Club seats, private and Champions suites, Terrace and Tunnel Suites, Hyde Lounge and the lounges and tables of the Yaamava’ Club. For regular 100, 200 and 300 level seats, compare the seat map shown at checkout on Ticketmaster or AXS, and look up real photos by section and row on fan sites such as A View From My Seat.

Best Seats at Crypto.com Arena by Budget

Prices change with the opponent, the performer and the seller, and the arena publishes no fixed price list, but the chart points to clear tiers:

• If price matters most: the 300 level. The corner sections (304 to 307, 312 to 315, 321 to 324 and 329 to 332) show both ends of the court or rink, while the end sections 308 to 311 and 325 to 328 look straight down the length of the floor. Upper rows are high and steep.
• Middle ground: the lower rows of the 300 level sidelines (316 to 320, or 333, 334 and 301 to 303), the 200 level end sections (205 to 210 and 214 to 219) and the 100 level corners (104, 105, 108, 114 and 117).
• Closest and most comfortable: the 100 level sidelines (101 to 103, 118, 119 and 109 to 113), the Premier ring with in-seat service, Legacy Club seats, suites, and courtside or Premium Glass seats.

For basketball, the center sections (101, 111, PR5, PR14, 301 and 318) give the most balanced view. For hockey, seats a few rows up in the 100 level or the Premier ring make it easier to follow play than the lowest rows behind the goals. For concerts, the floor and the side sections nearest the stage are closest; seats behind the stage are usually closed or sold as limited view.

Ticket Information, Seat Pricing, and Box Office

The arena’s official events calendar links each event to its authorized seller. As of November 3, 2026, Lakers games link to Ticketmaster, while Kings games, concerts and arena tours link to AXS. Premium seating options, such as suites, Premier Seats and club memberships, are sold through the arena’s premium team and priced on request.

• Box Office: next to Star Plaza on Chick Hearn Court, between Georgia Street and Figueroa Street. On non-event days it opens for walk-up sales on Tuesdays from noon to 4 p.m.; on event days the windows open three hours before the start (two hours for some earlier events). It accepts cash and major cards, and card purchases need a photo ID.
• Mobile tickets only: the arena scans tickets only inside an approved AXS, team or venue app. Screenshots and printed QR codes are refused, and there is no Will Call. AXS Mobile ID also lets you transfer or resell seats through the venue’s official marketplace.
• Children: kids 2 and under get in free at most sporting events and concerts if they sit on an adult’s lap; anyone 3 or older needs a ticket. Family shows can set different age rules.
• Accessible tickets: on the event page, choose the ticket button and then Accessible Tickets, or buy through AXS, Ticketmaster or the Box Office.

Concert Setup and Sporting Event Seating

Basketball: Lakers and Sparks

The Lakers layout seats 18,997, with courtside seats on the floor and center court facing sections 101 and 111. The Sparks play in a smaller WNBA layout of 12,862 seats during the summer season.

Hockey: Kings

For Kings games the floor becomes an ice rink and capacity drops to 18,145. A rink is much longer and wider than a basketball court, so the courtside rows disappear and the first row becomes the Premium Glass seats. Sections 106, 107, 115 and 116 on the 100 level sit behind the two goals.

Concerts

Concerts reach the arena’s largest capacity, 19,395, because the floor holds standing room or extra seats. Many tours use an end stage, in which case the sections behind the stage are closed or sold as limited view, while in-the-round shows can sell every side. The arena asks general admission floor guests not to line up before 10:00 a.m., and doors open at the same time for everyone. Each event page shows the exact layout and door time.

What Is the Crypto.com Arena Bag Policy?

Crypto.com Arena does not allow bags. Backpacks, purses, totes, fanny packs, camera bags and clear bags are all turned away at the door. There are two exceptions:

• Small clutches and wallets smaller than 5 x 9 x 1 inches, which are subject to inspection
• Medical and parental bags smaller than 14 x 14 x 6 inches, which go through an X-ray screening

Guests who arrive with a bag can store it in the Binbox lockers next to the Kobe Bryant Entrance, from $15 per bag (non-refundable, card or mobile payment only). Check-in opens an hour before doors and closes an hour after the event. Other entry rules from the arena’s A to Z Guide:

• Screening: every guest passes Evolv Express screening, with walk-through metal detectors or a visual check as secondary screening
• Water: one sealed plastic bottle of one liter or less, or an empty refillable plastic bottle; no glass or metal bottles, cans or outside food
• Banned items: weapons, laser pointers, glow sticks, fireworks, professional camera lenses, recording devices, GoPros, selfie sticks, tripods, tablets, laptops, flags and banners
• Re-entry: speak to a Guest Services team member before you leave; you go through screening and ticket scanning again when you return
• Smoking and strollers: the arena is smoke-free, including e-cigarettes and outdoor terraces, and strollers are not allowed in the seating areas

Venue Amenities and Parking Options

The arena is fully cash-free: food, drinks and merchandise are paid by debit or credit card, including contactless and mobile payments.

Star Plaza, at Chick Hearn Court and Figueroa Street, holds statues of Lakers, Kings and other Los Angeles legends; the newest honor Pat Riley (February 22, 2026) and Lisa Leslie (September 20, 2026).

Parking Lots and Prices

The arena owns or operates 3,300 spaces within four blocks, less than an eight-minute walk, and more than 10,000 privately run spaces lie within a seven to ten minute walk at rates set by each operator. These are the rates posted on the arena’s Getting Here page, checked on November 3, 2026, all plus city parking tax:

There is no overnight parking and no in-and-out privilege, tailgating is banned in all arena and L.A. LIVE lots, and Chick Hearn Court between L.A. Live Way and Figueroa Street is a tow-away zone.

Accessible Seating and Services

How Do You Get to Crypto.com Arena by Metro?

The closest rail stop is Pico Station, served by Metro’s A Line and E Line. From the station, walk one block west on Pico Boulevard, turn right on Figueroa Street, and L.A. LIVE is two blocks north on the left, with the arena alongside. Riders on the B Line (North Hollywood, Hollywood) or D Line (Mid-Wilshire) can change at 7th St/Metro Center to the A or E Line, or walk: head west to Figueroa, turn left, and L.A. LIVE is four blocks down on the right. From LAX or the South Bay, take the C Line and change at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks to the A Line toward Azusa.

Metro buses 28, 30, 81 and 460 and the J Line stop near L.A. LIVE, and LADOT’s DASH F route stops along Figueroa Street. Amtrak and Metrolink riders can transfer to Metro Rail at Union Station; Amtrak passengers need a separate Metro ticket.

Ride-share drivers must use the designated white zones: eastbound Chick Hearn Court between L.A. Live Way and Georgia Street, and southbound Figueroa Street between 12th Street and Pico Boulevard. LAPD enforces No Stopping signs across the district. Full route details are on the arena’s public transportation and ride-share page.

Upcoming Events and Ticket Purchasing

As of November 3, 2026, the arena’s events calendar lists the Kings against the San Jose Sharks on November 4, the XG World Tour on November 5, the Lakers against the Portland Trail Blazers in the Emirates NBA Cup on November 6 and the Kings against the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 7. KATSEYE plays two nights on November 21 and 22, 2026, with a Sky Deck pre-show party, and Calibash is scheduled for January 16, 2027. The arena also runs Crypto.com Arena VIP Tours presented by Delta Air Lines on select days, and the Sparks play their WNBA home games here in summer.

Buy through the links on each official event page (Ticketmaster for the Lakers, AXS for most other events) or at the Box Office. Looking further ahead, LA28 lists the building as “DTLA Arena” for the 2028 Olympic Games, since Olympic venues drop sponsor names, and FOX 11 Los Angeles reported on April 15, 2025 that the updated venue plan gives it artistic and trampoline gymnastics and boxing. For the company behind the name, see our best crypto exchanges guide.

In short, the Crypto.com Arena seating chart is easiest to read by ring: the 100 level for closeness, the Premier ring for in-seat service and club access, and the 300 level for price. Check the event page for the exact layout, door time and ticket seller, and plan parking or your Metro trip before you go.
