Where to find official parking information
The Kia Forum’s official parking page is the place to check event-specific parking details. Rates vary by event, and the venue does not publish one standard rate for every show.
Prepaid parking is available through JustPark, the official parking partner. The venue advises securing a spot in advance because on-site parking may be limited. One parking pass covers one vehicle, and spaces are assigned first come, first served; you cannot save a spot for someone else.
At the lot, payment options include cash, major credit cards, debit cards and contactless methods. The venue is cashless, so check the event’s payment details before setting out.
When to arrive and how to approach the lots
Use Prairie Avenue or Kareem Court to enter the Kia Forum parking lot, and plan your arrival around the event’s posted parking hours. Parking opens three hours before most events, but the opening time varies.
Allow time to enter and park, and follow directions at the lot entrance. Vehicles longer than 18 feet or wider than 9 feet incur an extra parking charge. The venue recommends carpooling, rideshare or public transportation as alternatives to driving separately.
If you are considering another event venue in the area, the SoFi Stadium guide for getting there from Hawthorne covers that trip separately.
Accessible parking and drop-off
Drop-offs are permitted at all Kia Forum entrances. The venue identifies Lot H, at the intersection of Pincay Drive and Prairie Avenue, as its designated on-site rideshare pickup lot.
Metro Bus Lines 211 and 215 serve the Prairie/Manchester and Prairie/Kelso stops near the venue. If you are arranging a ride, agree on a pickup point before the event lets out, and use Lot H for rideshare pickup.
Event-specific parking rules to verify
Check the event’s parking rules before driving, because lot hours and rates depend on the event. The venue says lots close one hour after an event ends, and overnight parking is not allowed.
Tailgating is prohibited, and guests cannot stay in the parking lot during the event. After the 30-minute mark of the event starting, you must go into the event or leave the lot. The venue also charges extra for vehicles longer than 18 feet or wider than 9 feet.
Before you go: Check the official site before you go for the event’s parking hours, rate and any current instructions.
