Know Before You Go

We are excited to welcome you to Honda Center!

Let’s review this important information to get you ready to enjoy your event.

Guests are encouraged to check back for the most up-to-date policies and procedures prior to their visit.

Parking & Transportation

Honda Center’s surrounding area is undergoing significant changes with the development of OCVIBE, impacting parking and traffic patterns.

Guests are advised to plan ahead and arrive early to accommodate evolving conditions and parking availability.


Here are some tips to ensure a smooth arrival to your event:

  • For the smoothest arrival, guests should arrive at least 60 minutes early, use the Waze app for navigation.
  • Douglass Road between Katella Avenue and Stanley Cup Way is permanently closed.
  • Guests are encouraged to photograph their parking location to more easily navigate back to their parking location after the event. 

 

The Katella Garage and Cerritos Garage are open for use by ticket holders.

General parking is included with event tickets at all onsite lots, including Katella Garage and Cerritos Garage. Single-event preferred parking is no longer available for purchase. 

Guests should use the most up-to-date maps and Waze for real-time directions.
