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.

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

All ticket holders who purchased their tickets through Ticketmaster will also receive an email prior to their event containing important information for their upcoming event.

Parking & Transportation

As construction is underway for OCVIBE, traffic in the surrounding area will be affected.

As of July 1, 2025 Douglass Road between Katella Avenue and Stanley Cup Way is closed permanently. Please view the parking map here for new routes to Honda Center.

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

On-site parking is limited and will sell out.
Click here to guarantee your spot by pre-purchasing via ParkWhiz. You can view available parking lots and pricing and receive your parking pass in advance of arrival. (Note: accessible parking is not available for advanced purchase.)

Arrive at least 60 minutes before event start time to avoid parking or traffic delays.

Use the Waze App for live tracking of road closures and guidance for the best route to your lot.

Rideshare services and taxis must be dropped off and picked up at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) at 2626 E. Katella Avenue. Drivers must access Douglass Rd. from Katella Ave. and follow traffic control officer instructions.

Consider one of the alternative unaffiliated parking options in the surrounding area.
