Parking for Lakers games can be a bit confusing due to the congestion of traffic near the arena on gameday. In this article, let’s explore some of the most popular Los Angeles Lakers parking options.
These are the most common ways to get parking for Los Angeles Lakers games:
- Purchase a parking pass directly from the Crypto.com Arena Box Office or online at AXS.com.
- Purchase a parking pass from an online ticket broker site like StubHub or Vivid Seats.
- Reserve a spot in a private parking lot or garage from parking sites like SpotHero.
- Find a parking lot or metered spot near the arena that allows you to pay on site.
- Use Public Transportation or Rideshare.
The price of parking can vary depending on many factors. In general, some of the cheapest parking near the arena will cost in the $10-$15 range. Again, those prices are subject to change. Certain lots and garages very near to the stadium will be much more expensive.
Crypto.com Arena has several parking lots and garages that are controlled by Crypto.com Arena, but there are also many private lots and garages located near the arena that are not controlled by Crypto.com Arena.
Purchasing a Lakers parking pass in advance can reduce hassle on gameday, but it is not required. There are several lots and metered spots near the arena that allow you to pay on site. Those spots can go fast on gameday, so you will need to plan accordingly. Let’s start by discussing how to buy a Lakers parking pass.

There are over 3000 parking spaces at Crypto.com Arena-owned parking lots.
You can purchase a parking pass directly from the Crypto.com Arena Box Office or online at AXS.com. Buying your parking pass directly from the Crypto.com Arena Box Office is always the best option as long as supplies last.
