Tips
Popular events at L.A. LIVE draw large crowds. Parking can be challenging especially when multiple events occur near the same time. When planning your trip, here are some tips to ensure a great parking experience.
Leave Your Car At Home
If you're coming from neighboring Downtown areas or the USC campus, try these options:
- Take the DASH Bus, a convenient local bus that makes routine stops near the campus until 6:30 PM.
- RIDE YOUR BIKE. Bike racks are available in the East garage located at Olympic Blvd. and Francisco St. Ride down the ramp, racks are located to the left.
- If you are a USC student, the USC Tram offers frequent pickups from The Lab or The 901 Bar.
Plan Ahead, Arrive Early
If you are coming to a restaurant, please be advised, during peak hours, the wait for seating can be 90+ minutes. It is recommended to arrive early or make reservations if possible. Currently, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and The Farm of Beverly Hills offer reserved seating. Many restaurants also offer late night dining after events. View each restaurant's hours of operation.
Purchase Event Parking in Advance
When you purchase your event tickets at ticketmaster.com, you may also purchase a parking pass online. Identify the lot corresponding to your parking pass and print driving directions to reduce your travel time. Visitors without parking passes are advised to allow time to locate available parking. There is generally ample parking in the West garage.
Know the Rules
If you are visiting Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge, please be advised that after 7 PM an age policy applies and admission is restricted to 21+. Also, Lucky Strike enforces a strict dress code. Parking fees will not be compensated if you are turned away from the venue for the age policy or dress code.
Valet Service Available
Valet service is available in the East garage from 4 PM - 2 AM for a $5 service charge in addition to the timed rate.
Keep in Mind
On busy nights, the East Garage fills quickly. We have plenty of parking in the complex, please use the West Garage (only when East Garage is full).
