Honda Center Parking and Event Arrival from Santa Ana

Check your event’s start time and entry details before setting out, because Honda Center’s door and parking times are tied to the event schedule.

The main entrance doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before an event starts. Parking locations open three hours before the start time printed on your ticket, so you can plan to arrive, park and enter without assuming the doors will be open as soon as the lots are.

Honda Center recommends arriving at least 60 minutes before the event and using Waze for navigation. The venue also says OCVIBE development is affecting parking and traffic patterns around the arena. Give yourself room in your plan for those changing conditions, and check the official site before you go.

General parking in Honda Center’s onsite lots and garages, including Katella Garage and Cerritos Garage, is included with event tickets; a separate general parking pass is not required.

Parking locations open three hours before the event start time printed on your ticket. Accessible parking is available in the garages for vehicles displaying a current state-issued disability placard or license plate. It is first-come, first-parked, and individual spaces cannot be reserved in advance. Accessible parking in River Garage requires a River Garage parking pass.

Honda Center says Douglass Road between Katella Avenue and Stanley Cup Way is permanently closed. Its parking guidance also flags development-related changes to local traffic patterns, so follow current navigation directions rather than relying on an older route.

If you cycle, complimentary bicycle parking for ticket holders is available in Katella Garage and Cerritos Garage from two hours before an event until 30 minutes after it ends. Bring your own lock.

Honda Center tickets are digital and can be managed through the Honda Center + Ducks App. Screenshots and printed copies of mobile QR codes are not accepted, though tickets printed directly by the box office are accepted.

All guests pass through Evolv Express screening before entering, and security may direct you to additional screening. Permitted bags may also be inspected. Bag size limits depend on the event:

• Anaheim Ducks games: bags and purses may be no larger than 4 in. x 6 in. x 1.5 in.
• Non-Ducks events: bags and purses may be no larger than 5 in. x 9 in. x 2 in.
• Both event types: backpacks of any size are prohibited.
• Diaper bags and bags for medical items: may be up to 12 in. x 12 in. x 12 in. and are subject to additional screening.

Honda Center does not offer a bag check, so check the rules for your event before bringing a bag. Major credit cards, debit cards and mobile payments are accepted throughout the venue, including parking; cash is not accepted.

The box office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., closes on holidays and has variable hours during events. For accessible seating, wheelchair-accessible and companion seats are available on each arena level, including the floor when floor seating is offered.

Honda Center recommends purchasing accessible tickets as soon as possible. Courtesy sign-language interpreters require as much advance notice as possible and at least 14 business days’ notice; availability is not guaranteed with less notice.

For a rideshare or taxi, use ARTIC at 2626 East Katella Avenue, Anaheim, for pickup and drop-off. Drivers are directed to enter ARTIC from Douglass Road via Katella Avenue.

Honda Center advises rideshare passengers to leave the arena through the South Entrance or East Entrances to reach ARTIC. Check the route to the pickup point before leaving your seat, and follow event-day directions if access around the venue has changed.

If you parked onsite, remember that the venue’s general parking is included with event tickets. For accessible routes, Honda Center says temporary construction and modernization work may affect elevators, entrances, walkways and seating access. Event-day staff can help you find accessible routes and operating elevators.

Honda Center is an arena for games and concerts, while Angel Stadium of Anaheim is another nearby venue to consider for an event. Santa Ana Travel Inn is a Santa Ana base for Honda Center events.

Choose based on the event you plan to attend and its venue-specific arrival rules.

Angel Stadium has its own arrival details, including ticket and parking information.
