The Sacramento Kings bring a uniquely loud, high-energy NBA experience to Northern California—fast pace, big momentum swings, and a fanbase that can make Golden 1 Center feel like it’s humming from the opening tip to the final minute. Whether you’re a lifelong Kings supporter, visiting Sacramento and looking for the perfect night out, or planning a fun group outing downtown, seeing the Kings live is the kind of event that instantly feels bigger in person. The speed is sharper up close, the physicality in the paint is more intense than it looks on TV, and every clutch run hits harder when you’re surrounded by thousands of fans reacting in real time.
Kings home games are played at Golden 1 Center, located at 500 David J Stern Walk, Sacramento, CA 95814. Because the NBA schedule offers a limited number of home games—and certain matchups drive heavy demand—tickets can sell out quickly for weekends, rivalry matchups, holiday stretches, and late-season games. If you’re trying to sit together, the best seat blocks can disappear quickly once inventory starts moving.
That’s exactly why fans use Box Office Ticket Sales to browse Sacramento Kings tickets, compare sections, and lock in verified seats with confidence. If you’re ready to secure your seats, browse tickets now on Box Office Ticket Sales—because when the right row shows up at the right price, it often doesn’t stay available for long.
Golden 1 Center is designed for strong basketball sightlines and a crowd-focused atmosphere, so there’s not really a “bad” way to experience the game—just different vibes depending on where you sit. Your seat choice should match the type of night you want: do you want to feel the speed and contact up close, prefer a center-court angle to follow plays developing, or want the best value while still soaking in the energy?
Common seating types you’ll find for Kings games
Quick tips for picking your seats

Scarcity tip: If you’re buying multiple seats together, those listings tend to vanish first on high-demand nights. If you find the right block on Box Office Ticket Sales, it’s usually smartest to secure your seats now rather than risk losing that listing to another fan.
Golden 1 Center is in the heart of downtown Sacramento at 500 David J Stern Walk, Sacramento, CA 95814. With event-night traffic and large crowds, choosing your transportation plan in advance is one of the easiest ways to make game night go smoothly.
Parking
Golden 1 Center recommends purchasing pre-paid parking passes online through the City of Sacramento (SacPark), and notes that garages associated with Golden 1 Center are scheduled to open two (2) hours prior to the start of the event or tip-off.
Practical takeaway: if you’re driving, arriving early is the easiest way to avoid the pre-tip rush and walk in relaxed.
Light rail (SacRT)
If you want to skip traffic and parking stress entirely, Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) notes that it has light rail stops within one block of Golden 1 Center. This can be a great option for visitors staying downtown or locals who want a predictable arrival and exit.
Rideshare & drop-off
Rideshare can be convenient downtown, but expect a postgame surge and curb congestion. A simple strategy for faster pickup is to walk a few minutes away from the busiest curb cluster before requesting your ride.
A Kings game is a lot more fun when you’re in your seat (or grabbing concessions) before tip-off—not watching the clock in line.
Bonus: Arriving early often gives you time to catch warmups—one of the best parts of seeing NBA basketball live.
Venue policies can change, so it’s always smart to review the official Golden 1 Center guidance near your event date—especially bag rules, prohibited items, and re-entry.
Bag policies
Golden 1 Center’s FAQ states that backpacks are prohibited, and that bags larger than 8” x 6” x 1” are prohibited. It also notes that medical bags must be searched and tagged by a security supervisor.
Fast-entry tip: the easiest path through security is going pockets-only (phone, wallet, keys) whenever possible.
For families, the FAQ also notes that baby bags (plus plastic bottles and formula) are permitted as long as the bag is no larger than 16” x 16” x 8”.
Prohibited items
Golden 1 Center provides an official prohibited items page to help guests plan ahead. When in doubt, leave questionable items at home—nothing derails the vibe like having to return something to your car.
Re-entry policy
Golden 1 Center’s FAQ states that it has a “no re-entry” policy during events, with limited exceptions that require you to contact a Security Supervisor or Manager via Guest Services to make necessary arrangements.
Translation: plan like you’re staying in once you enter—eat beforehand, bring what you need (within policy), and don’t expect to step out and come back in.
Cashless venue
Golden 1 Center notes it is a cashless arena and accepts major credit cards and contactless payments.
