had a great time at Crypto Arena again. I came back for the Sparks game. The energy was fantastic and the crowd was great. The seats in the Delta 360 Club were very nice. I really liked our seats. The Delta 360 has a nice bar area with M&Ms and jelly beans, and everything in there is really nice. The popcorn hit the spot. 1 I had the chicken tenders and they were very good. Watching the people dance at halftime was absolutely fantastic on HBCU Night. I was able to find parking without a problem, and it all went very well. The facilities are nice, and everyone from the staff to the security was very kind. I can't complain, I had an absolutely great time. Five stars. I A Blessings, Architect read more

This was my first time at this arena ... I love the layout for concerts! This was as close as I've ever been to the stage. I've had a row 1 seat at other venues but found myself much further away. The stage isn't huge, but it was more than enough for the four members of MAMAMOO and their six (four women, two men) dancers. Now the bad: The concessions, save for the automats "selling drinks and packaged snacks" didn't open until 6:30pm. I found the food and drink offerings to be extremely limited: pretzels, hot dogs, smash burgers, chicken tenders, pizza. I could not find a place that offered a gin & tonic. The doors opened at 6:30pm and the concert started at 7:30pm, leaving scant time to find and consume food and drink. There was an AMEX lounge two floors up, but their list of "free" drinks was limited (no gin & tonic), and I didn't see any food offerings. Alas, I suppose this is the downside of a smaller venue. I paid $23.59 for a 20oz can of Sapporo Draft from an automat and $34.05 for very sub-par chicken tenders, soggy fries and a can of Diet Coke. The chicken tenders came sans any sauce. There was a ketchup dispenser ... Uh, that's not sauce! I never found a place selling pizza and at least two venues weren't open, Ludobab and Trois Familia. Thus, I found Crypto.com sub-par for food and drink. Venue rating: 4.5. Food & drink rating: 2.5. read more

Highly recommend getting a VIP suite. My friends and I had a great time at the Cryto Arena for the Sparks vs Valks game. The VIP suite was a great experience; however, the mobile ordering wasn't working and the food/drinks were two floors down from our suite. Great ambiance and enough space/room for 14 people. We opted to not do catering due to the various dietary restrictions in our group. Overall, great company and fun! read more

Thank you Crypto for hosting kpop LA. We had great seats and the performances were all amazing. So many kpop stars on one stage truly made it such a special experience. Love that the location was so close to the convention center. Love the center stage so everyone had a good view of their favorite kpop idols. Crowd was lit! Everyone was cheering loudly for all their idols. We got to bring in water but you can certainly buy food and drinks inside. It was a full house!! read more

I've really enjoyed all of the concerts/events I've been to at this arena. Depending on the event, tickets can be pricy and traffic in the area can be heavy & hectic, but I've always been comfortable in whatever seat I've had and I've never had too many issues getting to and from the venue. My favorite section tends to be any of the PR seating areas as I feel they have the best view and amenities on the floor; the concessions are good, but pricy, and the bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks! The PR sections also have their own entrance which makes it easier to get in and out of the venue quickly. read more

Crypto Arena - Dirty Shirley at KCON! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went to see Don Toliver (hip hop artist) with the boys and it was lit! Getting in was easy and organized. The security line was efficient and fast. The floors, the restroom, just everything was clean. The team was selling cool artist merch too. I ended up getting a hoodie for $125, which I think is worth. We got lucky to get good seats, but not floor seats though. We were close enough to see him. Resell for our seats was $600 and we got them for only $120! Maybe we should have sold it to make profit lol. It was crazy when he brought out Kanye West and Travis Scott. It's not often you get to witness all three famous artist together on one stage like that. The whole stadium went loud and you can literally hear rumbles from everywhere. It was definitely a memorable experience to witness it. read more

My daughter was gifted Sparks Suite tickets by her boss, so 10 of us family members got to get VIP treatment at Crypto.com arena formerly Staples Center, which is what I still refer to it as.

This review is for the Crypto.com Arena VIP Tour. This was a great tour where I had the chance to see and step inside exclusive VIP areas of this iconic sports and entertainment venue. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, my fam and I didn't feel rushed, plenty of photo opportunities, there is a mid tour restroom break, you are provided a cool VIP lanyard and get to keep it as a souvenir, you are also given an in ear headset to carry along with you throughout the tour. Overall, it was a fun and unique behind-the-scenes tour of the arena and was a cool experience from start to finish. read more

Went for Summer Walker's concert. The stadium is big and nice, perfect place for an outing since it doesn't feel overwhelming. Summer's performance was also amazing. She brought out SZA and Doja Cat!! The stadium also has food spots if you need a quick bite, we ended up getting shake shack. The parking wasn't too expensive I believe it was only $20 or so. The only downhill I will say is afterwards we had to walk all the way around back to the parking lot from a longer distance which made it 30m longer! It was very crowded and all the vendors block your way. Definitely not recommended to girls who wear heels. Before the concert you're easily allowed to walk straight from the parking lot to the stadium which is only a 10m walk. So that's the only downhill I will say to look forward to if you do go to an event there. read more

What a night at Crypto Arena! I went with my daughter to attend Louis Tomlinson concert. The venue is very spacious and vlean. It is really gorgeous. The staff were very friendly and attentive. There are numerous food and beverages places including alcohol. They also have food markets. You enter the food market, scan your credit before you enter, then they charge you automatically. Escalators and elevators are available. There are numerous bathrooms in between the sections. The acoustics were great with a very high quality and clarity. The production in general was phenomenal. The seating was comfortable. We had such a wonderful time. It was a magical night! read more

Crypto Arena *July 6th, 2026 *5:30pm-9:30pm Monday *4 Stars Environment: *Hello Kitty Night *Multiple Parking Lots *Organized Entrance Line Came here for the LA Sparks vs. Seattle Storm game and Hello Kitty Night. I purchased the special ticket package that included a bucket hat and arrived early to be one of the first 5,000 fans to receive the Hello Kitty blind box giveaway. I was pleasantly surprised by how organized everything was. The staff did a great job regulating the number of people going through security, which helped keep the entrance process smooth despite the large crowd. I always bring a clear bag to sporting events hoping to get through security a little faster, but I still got pulled aside for an additional bag check. It was a little frustrating since it slowed down the process, especially when I noticed other guests with larger, non-clear bags weren't being stopped. Thankfully, I still made it in early enough to receive the Hello Kitty blind box. I even managed to catch one of the free T-shirts during the T-shirt toss, which was a fun surprise. Once inside, I picked up my bucket hat before the game. The pickup line itself was well organized, but the area felt more crowded than it needed to be since the Hello Kitty meet-and-greet and photo opportunities were in the same space. Even though the Sparks lost, it was still a fun first Hello Kitty Night, and I'd definitely consider coming back for another themed game in the future. read more

We went to the playoffs game last week for the Lakers Vs. OKC. We got seats that have more cushion and supposed to have our own server. She introduced herself to us before the game saying she is here to take our orders and we dont have to get up at all, but man she was way too busy. Where we had to go up to the bar and get our drinks anyway. So that was annoying. Felt like a tease. The drinks were good. I like my paloma. Also we got some beef nachos and that was yummy! The crowd was great. It was clean. However, the crowd got sad when the Lakers started losing. haha. But it was still a good time for me. Also bathrooms were clean! read more

I've been coming here since it was Staples. I took my wife here on one of our first dates to see a Laker playoff game. I've seen many concerts here. It's a great place to see an event. The vibe for sports and concerts is amazing. The food here is not why I come. It's just ok. It's not the kind of food I really want to eat and it costs too much for what it is. The drinks are overpriced. But it's a concert or a game. That's the deal. The people who work here are mostly nice and professional. The people at the entrance are always great. The folks working in the arena are usually really terrific. Sometimes the sales people are overwhelmed and a little rushed. I've seen Laker games, Kings games, and Clippers games here (the latter only with a friend who's a Clippers fan). I've seen more than 40 concerts here. Great place for an event, not a place to eat. read more

I've been to multiple events here over the years - Lakers, Kings, and Clippers. Most recently was a Lakers game with a 3.5 y/o. Wish we'd known that 2 and under are free if they're lap kids at Lakers games, or we would have attempted games when our son was in that age range. Note, the bag policy for Lakers games isn't the same as Dodgers games re: clear bags! While there are exceptions for kid-related bags here, all you're really allowed to bring in is a wallet. Parking at the garage that opens to the entrance of the facility is pricey, but worth it since it dumps out right at the front lines to the arena. We paid in advance and had no wait or issues getting inside and parking right away. This was 30 min. before doors since we wanted to walk the arena with our kid and show him stuff, so can't speak to how chaotic it could get closer to game time. Our fav drink spots inside are the corner store-like spots where you scan a card and show ID at the turn styles, then walk in and grab whatever you want from the coolers. We usually get a Cutwater to start, then seltzers for the rest of the event. Pics are from section 114, row 18, seats 24-26. Great view of the court and home team side! We were also close enough to the court for our son to catch some of the streamers they shot out of the ceiling after the Lakers won. read more

Why 4 stars? Because I don't have many complaints or standouts. --- --- --- Inside the building, this was pretty much the most standard NBA arena. There was nothing really special about it, but also nothing that had me longing for more. The biggest differentiator for me was the outside plaza, which was really nicely done. But most importantly, the coolest part were all of the statues outside, which in fairness, is more due to the history of the Lakers than the arena itself. But it was cool to walk up and down the plaza and take photos of them all. Otherwise? It's an NBA arena. And a distant number two of the LA arenas, as I would come to find out two days later when I went to my first Clippers game at Intuit Dome. read more

I've been to Crypto.com Arena twice now--once when the Clippers were playing the Pelicans and again earlier this week. After these visits, I feel confident sharing my thoughts on the experience. The first time was fantastic! I had access to the Lexus entrance and lounge, which put us closer to the action. My friend got us into the Lexus lounge, where we had access to free food which was delicious and an experience of itself. We were seated briefly before the game, and I was impressed by the staff, who were all incredibly friendly. The combination of excellent staff, fun entertainment, and good company made for a memorable experience. This past week, I returned to see the Lakers face off against the Pelicans (again!). This time, I entered through the main entrance and went through security. I didn't realize the arena's bag policy, so I had to leave my bag (which was inside my Lululemon bag) behind. Although I was a little disappointed, the staff offered me the option to either store it in a locker or return to my car. Since my car wasn't nearby, I opted for another option aside from the lockers, but was able to retrieve my bag after the game. It was a minor inconvenience, but I understand that rules are rules. For future visits, I highly recommend sticking to a small bag to avoid this hassle. The larger bag I brought was a slip-up on my part though as I'd forgotten to leave it in the car. Once inside, the arena is packed with various concessions and stores. Although I was eager to explore more of the arena, I made my way straight to the suites to celebrate a friend's birthday, as the game was about to begin. I was shocked as soon as I walked inside. They had a food spread which was amazing... They had hot dogs, tacos, chicken wings, salads, and a fully stocked fridge with drinks. There were snacks like popcorn, chips, and a cute dessert cart that came around at the end. The suite was clean and well-maintained, though I did notice one downside...the soap dispenser in the room wasn't working, so we had to go to the bathrooms outside the suite to wash our hands. A minor issue, but worth mentioning. The view from the suite was incredible, and the entertainment was top-notch. While Crypto Arena isn't as high-tech as the Intuit Dome (which I've visited before), it doesn't take away from the overall experience. The arena layout is great, and the venue itself is beautiful. I'm already looking forward to coming back for another game or hopefully a concert in the future! read more

I enjoy going to Crypto Arena to watch a Kings game, and this day was especially memorable. We attended Mexican Heritage Night to receive the free Mexican jersey giveaway. The Kings organization brought in a Mariachi band to sing the national anthem and perform between periods, which added a nice touch. I ordered an OG Chicken Sando at a spot called FUKU on the third level, and it was delicious; it just needed fries. The Kings organization also held an auction to win a warm-up-worn signed jerseys, and I happened to win a signed Kopitar and Doughty jersey. read more

Overall though, it's a great place for entertainment and I'd definitely go back. Lebron James was worth it! read more

I only go here for Laker games. Well I once had a free ticket to a clipper game and the atmosphere was just next level when it's a Laker game. I am sharing my review for our recent visit which was last week. I usually buy tickets for lower 100s but this time I got Premier seats. This was my 2nd time in premier seats and the level of service especially to order food is very convenient. This is my 2nd time in the PR area and highly recommend it if you do not like to leave your seats to go to the concession stands. Also these tickets have a separate entrance (which you can also use if you're an Amex cardholder). Restrooms are less crowded because they also have the suites and club lounge in this area. For food - waffle fries are best value, beer or alcohol of course is more expensive. Only downside - even if the game is active he servers are still serving and delivering the food. Also I keep hitting my knees on the cup holder. Also they closed one side so we were on the aisle so we constantly have to stand up to let other people pass. read more

Crypto Arena - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Before it was the Crypto Arena... It was... THE STAPLES CENTER. Yes, from its inception in 1999 until being renamed in 2021, The Staples Center, now known as the Crypto Arena has hosted so many Athletic Greats, Iconic Music Superstars, and has brought so many people of Los Angeles together... Even IF they were wearing the opposing jersey. Personally, I have experienced the Los Angeles Lakers play at the Staples Center when Kobe Bryant was in his Prime. RIP Kobe A couple of times I even went to watch the Los Angeles Kings play Hockey at the Staples Center which periodically turned into a temporary boxing match... Damn, those hockey players mean business. As far as Concerts.... In 2006, YOU KNOW that I 'Rocked my Body' with my boy J.T. for his FutureSex/LoveShow... And It was Fire! Oh, Not a fan of J.T.?? Cry me a River ;) In 2010, we returned as we had scored tickets for just $50 bucks, yeah FIFTY BUCKS to see this up and coming Country Pop artist; maybe you've heard of her.... Taylor Swift for her Speak Now Album! And In 2013, we went to see Drake perform, but that was before we discovered "He's not like us" Too soon?? ;) But since my last time at the Staples Center before it was renamed to the Crypto Arena, I hadn't been back to see a concert or a sports game at this venue as other L.A. Venues were featuring the artists/performers I wanted to see... (The Kia Forum, SoFi Stadium, The Hollywood Bowl). But then 2025 came and The Crypto Arena entered the Chat. Yeah, it was October 2025 and my wife's new favorite band that she is obsessed with was coming to Los Angeles! Yes! Sleep Token was headlining at the Crypto Arena and according to my wife, we weren't missing it for anything! So she preordered the tickets and until October 11th 2025... Nothing, but pure anticipation and the hunt for the perfect outfit was on her mind! Black on Black on Black Baby!!! Fast forward to the day of the concert.... My wife, Me, and approximately 19,998 other S.T. fans were all dressed from head to toe in... You guessed it.... BLACK!! And it was Awesome! I couldn't tell if it was a concert or a Hot Topic Convention. Anyways.... The Crypto Arena has the same vibe as the Staples Center that I remember with a few upgrades. What I love about out this Venue both then and now is its dedication to the Great City of Los Angeles and the Greats who have dominated in the World of Sports representing the City of Angels. Bronze Statues of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Wayne Gretzky, Oscar De La Hoya, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant & others surround the venues entrances that help give off that LA Pride that so many Angelinos hold in their hearts. The surrounding area outside the venue (L.A. Live Complex) has so many great restaurants, shops and entertainment to see and I definitely recommend coming a little early to check it all out before heading g into Crypto Arena for your concert or your game. Crypto itself is a Top Notch Venue and I will definitely return sooner than my previous 12 year hiatus. The only question remaining... Who will I come see next!? read more

Watching my first Lakers game LIVE at the Crypto Arena was great! Even if LeBrown was injured and couldn't play that night! -.- It's loud but not too loud that you feel your ears are bleeding afterwards. The crowd is amped up. Lots of Lakers Merch and dining options, all pricey of course, but what else can you expect? $30 for two Topo Chico sparkling waters and a bag of shareable peanut m&ms. That's what you can expect. Oh, and can't forget parking in their designated garage was like $45 bucks. But getting in and out was smooth and safe. The arena also had plenty of clean bathrooms, and lots of staff, definitely a fun time and worth going to a game at least once! read more

Crypto Arena - Awesome seats in VIP section PR13 row 7 seats 7-8 - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After coming here plenty of times before it was rebranded to Crypto Arena, it's certainly one of my favorite arenas to attend for concerts, basketball games, and other types of events. It's always wonderful here and priceless because of the history. A long time Lakers fan and always a sight to see all the amazing banners, posters, and murals all around the arena. It's always a sight to see all the legends and hall of famers statues all around the arena. Not just sports but musicians and other artists. My favorite has to be the Kobe/Gigi ones, super iconic and heartfelt to see. Parking here is very optional based, you can park beside the arena, which I highly recommend, you can also opt for parking in other 3rd party parking lots, prices can be varied as price adjustments daily. Events I've attended here: KCON LA 2016 - 2025 (Concerts) Lakers vs OKC 2014 (Sports) Clippers vs OKC 2018/19 (Sports) Lakers vs Knicks 2023 (Sports) Lakers vs Suns 2025 (Sports) Aespa SYNK: HYPER LINE tour - 2023 (Concerts) Food and drinks are of course is overpriced, but sometimes a tasty snack is what you need. I really like Dirt Dog inside the arena. Classic hot dog type snack, portions are big and it's one of the most enjoyable snacks you can get while watching a sports event. Seats itself are standard, you're next to other people but not too close, it's enjoyable all around. I've also had the chance to be all the way next to the stage and it's quite the experience. The stage is not too tall nor too short, perfect for artist engagements of all sorts, of course it varies per artist. Also had the chance to be up in the suites plenty of times, they're underrated in my opinion and are honestly the best choice in my opinion if you just want to relax and enjoy the event. Very spacious up there, decent view, and you can order food to your suite. It's perfect if you're going with a group as there's plenty of seats in the front suite and you can also chill in the back of the suite where the kitchen area is. Certainly good to watch concerts or events online but going in person to see the event at least once is a MUST. It's so worth it no matter what tickets you have. The view is always great and the vibes are wonderful. read more

This will always be Staples Center to me! It's been a minute since I've been here, before Crypto.com (ugh) took it over. The arena itself is pretty well-maintained and there's always employees/security around every crevice in case you have any questions or need help. Restroom lines are scary, food is overpriced, beer permeates the air, and parking costs more the closer you get - but that's all part of the arena life! This arena is an L.A. staple (didn't mean for a pun, but it's there!) for concerts and sporting events, so you can hardly go wrong experiencing anything here - unfortunately we're stuck with the dumb crypto name until 2041. read more

The stadium was clean and tidy, and the vibes were pretty good overall. I came to watch the Kings play and it was a great game -- even though they lost the staff was also very friendly and accommodating even reached out to us when they saw us confused in where to get utensils. Food and drinks were definitely pricey (and the drinks were way overpriced), but honestly... that's expected at a stadium at this point. Now, the real star of the night: the creamy mac and cheese. It was soooo good and actually worth every penny. We added red pepper flakes and it took it to another level -- highly recommend doing that. We also got the chicken Caesar salad, and the only downside was that it didn't come with enough dressing. It needed a little more love in that department. Overall, a fun experience with good vibes, just be prepared for stadium prices -- but don't skip the mac and cheese! read more

I choose to surprise my husband with tickets for a private suite at the Crypto Arena where the LA Kings were playing the Buffalo Sabres as an anniversary gift - This was the right choice! The Crypto Arena in Downtown Los Angeles was a wonderful expierience for my husband and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Directions to navigate the construction next door to the arena was easy-peasy lemon-squeezie with parking located directly next to the arena in a paid lot. Handicap parking was plentiful with the option of stairs, escalators, as well as elevators to travel between floors. Parking price was $40 which is normal for events in downtown and within just feet of the center. Service at the Crypto Arena VIP entrance was perfect. Kind workers directing you to your suite and easy to navigate the hallways and escalators. Stairs and elevators are also available to those who choose that route. Food was available on all floors with in-suite food delivery available to us by using a QR Code Scanner. A comfortable couch, barstools, and stadium seats were all available to us to choose from. The different seating options were an immediate PLUS for us as my husband is 6'11" tall and needs extra leg room. I was beyond thankful for the high top barstools so he could stretch out his legs comfortably. Heat was available to have the temperature adjusted, if needed, and I took advantage of it. There were also an in-suite refrigerator and other amenities if we needed. Food price was high, but worth the expense. The Tri-Tip sandwich was mouth watering and served with fresh potato chips. The Auntie Anne's soft pretzel was a buttery delight! And our drinks, margaritas, were made perfectly. Cost was high, because yes, it's arena prices. It came out to $80 before tip but I wasn't complaining. All staff that we encountered were beyond pleasant and welcoming. The noise level was comfortable for us, allowing conversation to still be held without issues. I appreciated the view and comfort that the suite allowed and look forward to visiting the Crypto Arena again soon for another game. read more

Crypto is sort of like LA in general; it's whatever you make it. Over the years, the main concessions have been upgraded, but they are still just glizzy's and hot chicken sandwiches. They still remain street food at premium prices. BUT if you want more, get access to a lounge. Parking can be a problem, but if you want convenience, get parking for the SW Lot or Lot 1. The only mediocre views here are in the 300s; outside of that, regardless of whether you're going for a sporting event or any other entertainment show, your seats will do just fine. Just some pointers, if you want a great experience, it's there, just pay for it. As for the atmosphere, it will never reach East Coast or even Midwest levels, so I can't help you there. But if you're lucky you might run into Magic Johnson on a good day or Hasheem Thabeet on a bad day. That's also LA for you. read more

SUPERB VENUE w/ CONVENIENT AMENITIES! I'm a regular at Crypto due to hockey games and other sports. We recently visited for a Lakers game and I fully appreciated the use of the grab-n-go concession stations. All you have to do is scan your card at the entrance of a station, pick-up your items, and leave. No waiting in line or dealing with cashiers, the attendants were super nice! Prices are high, but the food was GOOD. Restrooms are pretty clean for such a large arena. Even if there's kids running around, the cleaning crew keeps up with the cleanliness of the property. Additionally, tables and seats were wiped, nothing looked dirty. Entering the arena is always easy, leaving is a bit harder. The escalators are always jam-packed after a game or event, so I'd wait a bit before taking off. There's plenty to enjoy here. From the lighting to the plentiful amount of gift shops/booths. I love having a gift shop upstairs. read more

Listen... I'm a sports lover, and I love a good game with great seats -- and coming to Crypto Arena always gives that big LA energy. Parking I always park at L.A. Live because you're literally in the center of everything. It's convenient, close, and you don't have to do a long walk in heels or game-day fits. Now -- parking is $40, so be prepared. For me, the convenience is worth it. You park with confidence knowing you're steps away from the action. That might not be everyone's preference, but I love easy access. Organization & Crowd The area was super organized, just busy (as expected). Fans were everywhere taking pictures by the statues of the late great Kobe Bryant and Chick Hearn, which always feels special. It's such an iconic part of the arena experience. There are tons of staff members throughout to guide you to your section, which I really appreciated. Even with big crowds, they keep things moving. Seating Experience One thing that was new to me: during the game, fans aren't allowed to walk back to their seats until there's a whistle or timeout. I understand the purpose (less disruption during play), but the lines backed up quickly because, let's be honest, people get hungry and need bathroom breaks. It became a bit of a traffic situation trying to get back to seats. After experiencing that once, I made sure not to get up too much during the game because waiting in that line was not it. It wasn't terrible -- just something to be aware of so you can plan accordingly. Staff Overall, the staff throughout the arena were nice, inviting, and helpful. Even when things got busy, they stayed professional and kept the vibe positive. Overall: Crypto Arena always delivers on energy, organization, and that classic LA sports atmosphere. Just plan ahead for parking costs and seat re-entry timing during the game, and you'll have a great experience. Thanks for the memories -- I'll definitely be back. read more
