Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Tickets & Events

A National Historic Landmark in Exposition Park, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is defined by its peristyle arches, Olympic cauldron, and more than a century of major sports and entertainment history. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum tickets put fans inside an open-air stadium that hosts USC Trojans football, large-scale concerts, music festivals, soccer matches, and major special events in one of the most historic settings in American live events.

This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum opened in 1923 and remains one of the most significant stadiums in the United States. Located at Exposition Park in Los Angeles, it is owned by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission and operated by the University of Southern California under a long-term lease. The stadium seats approximately 77,500 following a comprehensive $315 million restoration completed in 2019, which reduced capacity from historic highs of more than 90,000 while adding modern amenities.

The Coliseum is the home of USC Trojans football and also hosts occasional professional football and soccer matches, major concerts, music festivals, and special events. Its history includes the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics, Super Bowl I and Super Bowl VII, 1959 World Series games, Nelson Mandela’s 1990 address, Pope John Paul II’s 1987 mass, and concerts by Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Guns N’ Roses.

Known as The Coliseum, The Grand Old Lady, and The Greatest Stadium in the World, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is the only venue to have hosted the Summer Olympics twice and is scheduled to do so a third time in 2028.

Location & Transportation

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is located at 3939 S. Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90037 — in Exposition Park near the USC campus.

Transit: The Coliseum is well served by the LA Metro E Line, with Expo Park/USC and Expo/Vermont stations within walking distance. Multiple Metro bus routes also serve Figueroa Street and the surrounding area, making transit a practical option for USC football games, concerts, festivals, and other major events.

Driving and Parking: Drivers can reach the stadium from the 110 Harbor Freeway. Parking is offered in Exposition Park lots and surrounding USC-area lots, but spaces fill early for major events. Expect elevated pricing, heavy congestion, and slower traffic on game days and for large concerts.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are common for Coliseum events, with designated zones typically used for major events. After the event, post-show traffic and long rideshare waits should be expected because of the stadium’s crowd size.

Nearby Accommodation: The widest range of hotel options is in Downtown Los Angeles, a short drive or Metro ride north of Exposition Park. Lodging immediately around Exposition Park is more limited, so staying in DTLA can make access easier for visitors attending major events.

Venue Navigation

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum has a large open-air stadium layout with a continuous bowl, multiple gates around the perimeter, and a signature peristyle end on the east side. Understanding the gate layout, walking distances, and seating levels before you arrive helps make entry and section navigation smoother.

Entrances and Access: Multiple numbered gates ring the stadium bowl. The peristyle end provides the Coliseum’s most iconic entry imagery, while gates around the perimeter distribute crowds across the venue. The Metro E Line feeds pedestrian traffic toward the Exposition Park entrances.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in an oval bowl with lower and upper sections circling the field. A press and suite structure sits along one side, and the 2019 renovation added the Scholarship Club Tower on the south side with premium suites, loge boxes, and club seating.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating, entrances, and restroom facilities are offered at the Coliseum. Accessible parking is available in designated Exposition Park lots.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff help direct guests to sections throughout the stadium. Because the bowl involves stairs and long walks around the perimeter, comfortable footwear is a smart choice for event day.

Dining Options

Inside Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Concession stands throughout the concourses serve standard stadium fare, with beer and other alcohol available. The Scholarship Club Tower provides upgraded food and beverage service for premium club and suite guests. For major games and concerts, lines can build around kickoff, showtime, and natural event breaks, so giving yourself extra time before the event can make the experience easier.

Outside the Venue — Exposition Park and USC

Dining near the Coliseum includes casual options around Exposition Park, along Figueroa Street, and in USC Village. Downtown Los Angeles, a short trip north, offers a broader dining scene for fans who want to eat before or after an event.

Security & Policies

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: A clear-bag policy is typically enforced for major events, with bag size limits in place. Small clutch bags are generally permitted.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, drones, selfie sticks, laser pointers, and similar safety-risk items are commonly restricted.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is typically not permitted once a guest has exited. Event-specific re-entry rules are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Guests should expect metal detection, bag checks, and digital or mobile ticket verification at the gates. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Cost?

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from lower-demand USC Trojans football matchups to marquee rivalry games, major concerts, and festivals.

For USC Trojans football, lower-demand matchups can start as low as about $25–$60. Marquee games, rivalry matchups, and higher-demand dates typically rise into the $75–$250 range or more, especially for better sideline locations and premium areas.

For concerts and festivals, upper or value seats can start around $50, while premium seats, floor access, and high-demand locations can reach $200 or more. Major headliners and sell-out events can push prices higher as inventory tightens.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for high-demand games and concerts. As the event date gets closer and inventory shrinks, the best remaining sections often become more expensive.

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Seating Guide

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum uses a broad oval-bowl layout with lower and upper seating sections circling the field, the peristyle at the east end, and premium seating concentrated in the Scholarship Club Tower on the south sideline. Seating can vary by event, especially when concerts and festivals use floor or general-admission configurations.

Best Seats at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

• Best value: Upper-level sections and seats in the end zones or peristyle end are typically the most affordable, while still keeping you inside the full stadium atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl sideline sections nearest the field provide the closest proximity for USC football and other field events.
• Best overall experience: Sideline sections at midfield in the lower bowl offer the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and energy for many events.
• Premium and suite options: The Scholarship Club Tower on the south sideline includes suites, loge boxes, and club seating with upgraded amenities.
• For groups: Group seating can often be arranged in the upper bowl or designated group areas, and planning early helps keep seats together for high-demand events.
• General admission: Concerts and festivals may offer general-admission floor areas, while football games use reserved seating.

Getting Ready for Your Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large open-air stadium with multiple numbered gates, long perimeter walks, and major-event crowds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested around a full stadium of this scale. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Parking lots and surrounding roads fill well before kickoff or showtime, and the Metro E Line is a strong alternative to driving.
• Wear the right footwear. The Coliseum bowl involves stairs and long walks around the perimeter, so supportive shoes can make a big difference.
• Dress in layers. The stadium is open-air, with sun exposure during day events and temperature drops in the evening. Bring sun protection for daytime events and a layer for night events.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major-event crowds affect roads, parking lots, rideshare pickup, and walking routes around Exposition Park.
• Know your entrance. Your ticket lists your gate and section; reviewing it before arriving saves time at a stadium with a large perimeter and multiple numbered entrances.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
