The Kia Forum Tickets & Events

The Kia Forum brings legendary Los Angeles arena history to Inglewood, where its circular colonnade design, music-first renovation, and 17,500-capacity concert bowl create a distinctive setting for major tours. The Kia Forum tickets connect fans with concerts across rock, pop, hip-hop, Latin, and R&B, along with comedy, award shows, special events, and select sports-entertainment productions.

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 The Kia Forum

The Kia Forum is a multi-purpose indoor arena located at 3900 W Manchester Blvd in Inglewood, California. Opened in 1967, the venue became one of the most recognizable arenas in the United States and later underwent a major renovation and restoration completed in 2014, when it was converted into a music-focused arena. The venue is owned and operated by the Madison Square Garden Company / MSG Entertainment, which acquired it in 2012, and it has a concert capacity of approximately 17,500, with configurations that can adjust for smaller productions.

Long known as The Forum, The Fabulous Forum, and formerly The Great Western Forum, the arena has deep roots in Los Angeles sports and entertainment history. It was the former home of the Los Angeles Lakers’ “Showtime” dynasty and the Los Angeles Kings, and it has hosted decades of landmark games and legendary concerts. Since reopening after its renovation, it has operated chiefly as a live-music arena, welcoming marquee residencies, major artist runs, comedy, award shows, and high-profile tours including the Rolling Stones.

The Kia Forum is known for its distinctive circular exterior ringed by columns, upgraded acoustics, and concert-first design with no center-hung scoreboard obstructing stage sightlines.

Location & Transportation

The Kia Forum is located at 3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90305 — near the intersection of Manchester Boulevard and Prairie Avenue in Inglewood’s major sports and entertainment district near SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome.

Driving and Parking: On-site and nearby surface lots serve the arena, and parking is typically paid. For major shows, lots can fill in the hours before the event, and the surrounding Inglewood sports district can experience heavy event-day congestion. Arriving early gives you more time to park, walk to the arena, pass through security, and reach your section before the show begins.

Transit: The Metro K Line serves the broader Inglewood area, and Metro bus routes run along Manchester Boulevard and Prairie Avenue. Transit is an option for some attendees, though access is generally less convenient than driving for most events at The Kia Forum.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available in designated zones. After sold-out shows, concentrated departures can create longer pickup waits, so building in extra time after the event can make the trip home smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available throughout Inglewood and near LAX, which is a short drive away. Hotels in these areas can be convenient for arena-goers who want easier access to The Kia Forum and the surrounding event district.

Venue Navigation

The Kia Forum uses a traditional indoor arena layout with a central concourse leading guests toward floor, lower-level, upper-level, premium, and suite seating areas. Understanding your level and section before arriving helps you move more efficiently through a busy show-night crowd.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances are accessed from the surrounding parking areas off Manchester Boulevard and Prairie Avenue. Guests enter into the arena concourse before continuing to lower, upper, floor, premium, or suite areas.

Concourse Levels: The seating bowl includes a floor that can be reserved or general admission for concerts, a lower bowl, an upper level, and premium club and suite seating added as part of the renovation. The arena is oriented toward a stage and floor configuration for concerts.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are available, and accessible parking and entrances are provided consistent with a major modern arena.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct guests from the main concourse to the correct level and section. Looking at your section and level before you arrive helps reduce stops inside the arena, especially on sold-out nights.

Dining Options

Inside The Kia Forum

Concession stands inside The Kia Forum offer standard arena fare and beverages, including alcohol. Premium clubs and suites provide upgraded food and service for guests with those ticket types. Lines can build close to showtime, so arriving early or visiting concessions before the main rush can help keep your evening moving.

Outside the Venue — Inglewood

Dining options are available throughout Inglewood, with additional restaurants and bars clustered around the broader Inglewood sports district and toward the LAX area. For the easiest timing, plan meals before heading to the arena or allow extra time if dining nearby on a major event night.

Security & Policies

The Kia Forum 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 typically applies at The Kia Forum, with small clutch or personal items allowed. Oversized bags and backpacks are generally prohibited, and bag rules can vary by event.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and beverage, professional cameras, recording equipment, laser pointers, and similar items are typically prohibited. Items deemed a safety risk can also be restricted at entry.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once guests have entered the venue. Event-specific re-entry rules are shown on the event listing and ticket details.

Entry Procedures: Expect security screening that can include metal detection, bag checks, and digital or mobile ticket verification. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed entry at the arena entrance.

How Much Do Tickets to The Kia Forum Cost?

The Kia Forum ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or act, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from smaller and mid-tier concerts to high-demand marquee tours and residencies.

For smaller and mid-tier concerts, tickets can start around $40–$90, especially for seats farther from the stage or in upper-level sections. Pricing can shift by artist, day of week, production layout, and remaining inventory.

For major headliner concerts, tickets typically range from about $100–$300 or more. Lower-bowl seats, seats with direct stage sightlines, and closer floor placements usually carry higher prices than upper-level options.

For high-demand marquee tours and residencies, premium and floor seats can reach $350 or more. Demand is often strongest for floor access, front lower-bowl sections, and dates connected to major artists or residency runs.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for high-demand shows. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for sold-out concerts and marquee artist dates.

The Kia Forum Seating Guide

The Kia Forum seating layout is built around a concert-focused arena bowl, with floor seating or GA floor for some shows, lower-bowl sections, an upper level, and premium club and suite areas. Because the venue is oriented toward the stage, comparing distance, angle, and level is especially helpful before buying.

Best Seats at The Kia Forum

• Best value: Upper-level sections and seats farther from the stage are typically the most affordable choices, offering access to the arena atmosphere at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Floor seats, GA floor when offered, and front lower-bowl sections put you closest to the stage and the energy of the performance.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sections with direct stage sightlines offer a strong balance of proximity, view quality, and arena atmosphere.
• Premium and suite options: Premium clubs, loge or suite areas, and VIP spaces provide upgraded experiences, added comfort, and group-friendly settings.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early is especially useful for high-demand shows, since contiguous seats can become harder to find as inventory tightens.
• General admission: Some concerts offer a GA floor, giving fans a more flexible, standing-room-style experience close to the stage.

The Kia Forum Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for The Kia Forum events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the stage, and whether you're on the floor, in the lower bowl, or up in the upper level — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your The Kia Forum Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make the night run significantly smoother — especially at a busy indoor arena in the Inglewood sports district.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested around large sold-out events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance 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 can fill before major shows, and the surrounding Inglewood sports district can be heavily congested on event days.
• Wear the right footwear. The Kia Forum is a standard indoor arena, but you should expect concourse walking and stairs between levels. Comfortable shoes help, especially if you are parking farther from the entrance.
• Plan for the walk from parking. The venue is indoors and climate-controlled, but weather can still matter while walking to and from parking areas.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major shows can create heavier traffic around Manchester Boulevard, Prairie Avenue, and the nearby event district.
• Know your entrance. Reviewing your section and level before arrival helps you move faster through a busy, multi-entrance arena.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
