The Kia Forum Tickets
Complete Guide to Buying Tickets at The Kia Forum
The Kia Forum – one of Los Angeles’ most legendary, iconic entertainment venues. Known for hosting decades of world-class concerts, award shows, and sporting events, it continues to bring the biggest acts in the world to Southern California.
Conveniently located near Hollywood, SoFi Stadium, and downtown LA, the venue is in the perfect spot. You can’t miss it. Originally opened in 1967, the venue was designed to resemble a Roman coliseum. And following a series of upgrades, the modern Kia Forum boasts state-of-the-art tech, including crystal-clear sound, contemporary seating, and VIP upgrades.
The venue has a maximum seating capacity of 17,500. It’s also known for its bowl-style seating – allowing for clear sightlines from every section. For smaller events, the venue is reconfigured to 8,000 seats. Despite the large capacity – and thanks to its immense popularity – events at the Kia Forum often sell out fast. Looking to secure your favorite spot? Here’s your complete guide to buying Kia Forum tickets.

The Kia Forum Venue Information
The Kia Forum is located at 3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90305. It’s just a short distance from downtown Los Angeles. That means easy access from major freeways, ride-share drop-offs, and public transit options.
The current version of this legendary venue has achieved the impossible – being fully modernized while at the same time preserving all its historic charm. You’ll enter through the unmistakable sunset-red doors. And once inside, you’ll find comfortable seating along with plenty of merch and refreshment options. The LED ceiling, mimicking a star-filled sky, only adds to the excitement.
With a massive floor area – which can be either standing or seated – and a great bowl design, you can get a great view from any section. Combined with the incredible acoustics and prime location, the Kia Forum is your go-to spot for live entertainment in Los Angeles.
The Kia Forum Seating Chart
The Kia Forum has several seating options. For the biggest and best shows, it’s a 17,500-capacity venue. For smaller events, it converts to an 8,000-seat layout. Either layout can provide seating or standing space across the floor section. The following sections will help you select your perfect spot.
Floor Seating
Want to get as close as possible to the stage? Then the floor section is the best way. At most music shows, the floor seating section will be opened up into a completely general admission layout. You’ll simply buy a ticket, then turn up and choose your vantage point.
Otherwise, most other shows see rows of reserved seats go on sale. In this case, you can pick your exact spot ahead of time. Generally, this section is the best experience and – therefore – the most expensive ticket. Expect to pay $100 and up – more for the most in-demand sections and shows.
Lower Bowl
Looking for guaranteed seats and fantastic views away from the floor? The lower bowl is for you. At smaller shows, this may be the only area opened up. At full-capacity shows, it’s the lower half of the entire bowl structure. Tickets in this section vary in price – closer to the stage can command in excess of $100-150, with back sections offering a good balance of views and budget.
Upper Bowl
The upper bowl – if it’s open for your show – is another great way to bag a bargain. For the cheapest seats (but still a great show), you can often find higher rows available from $50-60. Otherwise, the front rows and sections closest to the stage can mirror the lower bowl in price and quality.
VIP Seating
Looking to watch your show in style? The Kia Forum has a range of VIP options to choose from. You can hire semi-private box areas directly from the venue. These bring you a guaranteed batch of tickets, along with private service and upgraded bar options. Otherwise, for a similarly VIP experience, you can simply look at front and central sections of the floor area or lower bowl.
Accessible Seating
The Kia Forum offers plenty of accessible seating. Its modern installations mean you can choose from wheelchair-accessible areas and removable seats – all with companion facilities. With any other questions or to make particular arrangements, please contact the venue at least 10 days before your show. The easiest way is to email [email protected].
The Kia Forum Ticket Sources
When buying tickets for the Kia Forum, it’s important to only use trusted sources. Depending on availability, you can use the primary seller, the venue box office, or official resale sites.
Ticketmaster
Ticketmaster is the primary ticket provider for the Kia Forum. However, tickets often sell out quickly, especially for high-demand events.
Check availability for your next show at www.ticketmaster.com.
Box Office
If you’re in the LA area, you can also visit the venue box office in person. If tickets are still available, you can often purchase them up until the day of the show. Opening hours are weekdays until 6 PM and on event days from noon until showtime.
Please bear in mind that tickets may not be available for more popular shows. You can call ahead to avoid a wasted trip – contact the box office at 310-862-6200.
Ticket Squeeze
If the primary seller and box office have sold out, a good choice can be a ticket reseller. Ticket Squeeze is a trusted resale marketplace. Visit to find verified tickets for all sections of the Kia Forum – even for the most in-demand shows.

The Kia Forum Ticket Types
Concert Tickets
The Kia Forum hosts a huge variety of shows. Many of them are concerts, with the biggest stars in world music playing here. For many of those shows, you’ll find both standing and seating options. Your ticket will feature either GA (general admission), or a specific row and seat. You can also check the event’s seating map to find out more. The lower bowl will be open for the majority of concerts, with the upper bowl also available for bigger shows.
Show Tickets
Most show tickets for the Kia Forum will be in reserved seats. That’s because, most often, the floor area for non-musical shows is set out in rows of chairs. As with concerts, the upper bowl may not open for certain events.
VIP Packages
The Kia Forum sells VIP packages and upgrades directly through its VIP section. You can choose from a range of packages, getting you couch seating, wait service, and many other perks (such as preferred parking). Inquire directly on the Kia Forum website: https://thekiaforum.com/premiumseating/.
Seated Tickets
Both concerts and shows have tickets available in the bowl sections. These surround the main floor, split into an upper and lower section. The lower sections feature VIP areas and are open for almost all events. The upper bowl is available for the biggest shows, taking the venue to its full 17,500 capacity.
Accessible Tickets
If available, you can purchase wheelchair and companion seating through Ticketmaster or the venue box office. These will be clearly marked and are available with up to three companion seats. If you need other assistance or to make specific arrangements, please contact the venue directly.
Resale Tickets
If you missed out on primary sales, resale tickets are a good option. Sites such as Ticket Squeeze give you a way to get into the best sections at the busiest shows, with trusted, verified tickets on offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is parking included in the ticket?
Kia Forum parking is not included in your ticket. General parking costs from $50 per vehicle, depending on the show. You can also upgrade for quicker exit or closer parking – costing from $65 and up.
Where to get cheap The Kia Forum tickets?
You can buy cheap Kia Forum tickets in various ways. The primary seller, Ticketmaster, is a good first choice. You can also visit the box office in person if you’re in LA.
However, many popular shows sell out fast through these methods. You can visit a trusted resale site for more availability. Ticket Squeeze is an excellent option for buying Kia Forum resale tickets for even the biggest shows, with low fees and a range of pricing options.
Where are the best seats at The Kia Forum?
Due to its design, there are no bad seats at the Kia Forum. The best choice comes down to budget vs needs. For the very best seats, choose front and center floor rows. Otherwise, side bowl sections – upper and lower – are both excellent options. Back sections and higher rows still have fantastic sightlines and sound, and can get you in at a cheaper price.
Are there any age restrictions?
Kia Forum events are usually for all ages unless specified. Each guest must have their own ticket and seat.
What happens if my event is canceled?
As an indoor venue, the Kia Forum rarely sees cancellations. Should your show be canceled, the venue will inform you of your refund and rescheduling options.
What time do the doors open?
Please check your specific event page for door times. Generally, Kia Forum doors open an hour before each show. However, you may be able to access the surrounding area – including outlets and public areas – well before that.
